Don’t hesitate- take this tour. - Adventure Sightseeing by mini bus was a great way to get an overview of Charleston. Gosh I wish I could remember the name of our driver because he made the tour. He was a graduate of the College of Charleston and knows the city well, both knowledgeable and entertaining. The 90 minute tour passed so quickly as we ride through the city in the comfort of a small bus.

Very knowledgeable speaker's and a good investment if you want so the old town district - They had very good drivers with great knowledge of the old town district. We took a through ride first and went back to see several stops as a hop on and off.

Great quick hit of Charleston highlights! - Great tour for a quick hit of the highlights in Charleston. Driver was funny and knowledgeable. One or two stops for pictures would've been nice... but really tough to pack in to 90 minutes.

Charleston Tour Bus - Wonderful tour guide who was a local and knew all the history and back stories along the route. Also gave great suggestions on getting around Charleston on our own.

Fun way to see the city - Fun way to spend a few hours. Lots of construction and not able to get out at the Battery. Driver, Jay was prompt and knowledgeable. We were allowed to get off at City Market at the tour end. Only downside, the free bus to pick up from city market to the visitor center never came, we waited over an hour after being told they run every 20 to 30 minutes.

Driver needed to speak clearly! - The driver seemed nice enough but was not situationally aware of his customers. We had to ask him to turn the air on for us. He talked extremely fast and it was difficult to keep up with which building he was talking about. He really needed to use better descriptions of the buildings besides this building on the left and the building further up just doesn’t cut it. He really needs to speak clearer and emphasize his words when he speaks. I can’t think of a better way to explain it other than it sounded like he had marbles in his mouth.

An OK tour - It was obvious that the driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable. However, because he spoke so fast and his diction was frequently unclear, we missed more than half of what he was saying. Also, it was difficult to clearly see the houses and buildings.

Nice Tour - Knowledgeable driver and a/c bus great. Tour was mostly houses in residential neighborhoods. Would have liked to see more landmarks and opportunities to get off bus at the Market for a little bit.
