One of the Greatest Tours I’ve Ever Been On! - We just loved this tour and learned so much about Charleston! Our driver John was simply amazing! He knew the answer to every question we asked and he was very amusing. It was great way to get our bearings around the city on our first day!

A gateway for further exploration - The tour provided an excellent overview and history of the historical neighborhoods covered leaving us wanting to return to explore more in depth. The museum was larger and more interesting than we had anticipated. The Visitor's Center was great-particularly the very clean bathrooms.
