Company was bought out by... - Company was bought out by another company and they did not have us booked on the tour even though it was paid. The next available tour was 1 1/2 hours later. Mixed up our day. However once we were on the tour it was great.

Nice history lesson but air conditioning did not work - The tour guide provided lots of interesting History of Charleston along with a few jokes sprinkled in. My teens 13/15 fell asleep on the tour and thought it was boring but that’s par for the age. The big downside was that the Aug weather was in the 90’s so took the bus tour as it was advertised with air conditioning. The bus air conditioning was not working well so it was rather hot the whole 90 mins. This made the tour not as enjoyable as we thought it would be.

Charleston bus tour - Driver had a lot of knowledge but spoke in monotone fashion which dulled our attention. Tour such as this would also be more effective if it was done on a larger an open bus.
