Great Tour - Tour was excellent. Tour captured what the carriage tour we took did not. Covered sites in the northern and western side of the peninsula including The Citadel.

Overwhelming torrent of facts. A guide to "what we will see" would be a help sorting it out. - The driver was obviously knowledgeable about the city and every house, store, building we passed or street we drove on. That torrent of information came to jumble in my mind that every church was "the first". Taking it less as a history lesson and more of enjoying the ambiance helped. Driver also allowed us to get off at the market and pointed out the free market buses that took us around town for a further look at the city.

Not enough about Charleston - The tour did drive us all over the city and we did like that it gave us the option to get off at city market. Also nice that is was enclosed on a rainy day. We did however find our guide Anderson lacking. His narrative was more of his college days with a small serving of Charleston History and facts/information. It doesn't need to be scripted but a little less personal focus would have been better. I feel like having been in Charleston for the first time and for a very short time I missed out on a lot.
