GREAT TOUR! - I was a solo traveller, first time in Charleston and I only had one day. I chose the 3:30 See-It -All bus tour and an 11:30 harbor cruise. I wish I did opposite times The bus tour was so knowledgeable about the city and definitely pointed out great food, spectacular suggestions for tours, and Market St for some gems and little tid bits of info that you won't learn just by walking around. However when the tour was over at 5, there was no time to go back and visit anything since things start closing at 5. I would suggest a morning bus tour on your first day, to help plan things you would prefer to spend your time visiting during your stay.

Highly recommend! - Lisa was was so knowledgeable, kind and considerate. I highly recommend doing this tour to any first time Charleston visitors like us. Lisa covered more history in 90 minutes than we could’ve possible done on our own on our weekend trip. Thank you!

Good Tour, Entertaining Guide - Guide was interesting and funny. Enjoyed Tour. The bus is a little outdated and the A/C wasn't working the best but overall just fine. Would do again and recommend to get a good lay of the land on your first day in Charleston.
