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.

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.

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.
