Historic Charleston Festival of Houses and Gardens will begin March 15 and end on April 21. Tours vary in location and time, either in the afternoon or evening. Typically, most of these tourists are on foot, and the Foundation has street marshals spread throughout to monitor the tour and help participants who have questions. Although the tours are named after different streets, houses not on specified streets may be included in the tour. Here is a link to the main brochure: http://www.historiccharleston.org/assets/pdf/HCF%20Festival%20Brochure.pdf
