Very nice and comfortable tour of the city of Charleston, as well as informative, great tour guide! As romantic as the horse carriages are, I preferred this tour that leaves from the visitor center which has a nice exhibit of history too. Be sure to ride the free city shuttles to return to sites if more time is desired and walk through the college if charleston campus, so picturesque!!!

We had a great guide on this tour. Found out so much about Charleston and now we know what to go and see and where. So much history.

Our guide was very good. Very informative, easy to understand and hear.

Great trip! Take a light jacket as the bus is cold.
