Worthwhile experience. - My wife and I enjoyed our sightseeing bus tour experience. Our tour guide did a great job going over the history of Charleston and added some comedy as well. I highly recommend it if you would like to view the neighborhoods of this historic city.

Great Familiarization Tour - Great tour guide. I learned a lot about Charleston history and got ideas for future visits. It is a mini bus so if looking for an air conditioned ride, this is the way to go.

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.

Disability nightmare - The driver, Jay, did not want to allow us on the bus with our walker, even though I prebooked and repaid and noted 'walker'. He said he was full. He discriminated and humiliated us [see Americans with Disabilites Act] in front of the bus load of people. He refused to help up and told us to move his belongings ourselves [both are disabled]. We have taken many, many tours and without exception have been assisted by the drivers. He would not help.

Horrible - We had car troubles and when the tour guide and I finally connected he said he would contact the office and reschedule us for the next time slot. He didn't do that and they refused to refund our money. Horrible customer service. We went with another company and it was awesome and less expensive.
