Charleston Highlights in one day - Took the bus from Myrtle Beach to Charleston - Wendy was a great driver - not having to worry about directions or where to park is a great benefit. Only downside of the day was a lot more walking than expected. Great way to learn the history of the city and the area and hit the highlights in one day. I would recommend.

Definitely worth it - Our driver was Wendy and she made the trip from Myrtle Beach to Charleston as smooth as butter. She gave us excellent information and directions for viewing Rainbow Row and the pineapple fountain. We loved the City Market. The ride on the Carolina Belle was fantastic and very educational in a fun way. We opted not to do the carriage ride so I can't speak to that. Boone Hall Plantation was a beautiful, yet sad site to see. So much history!

A friends day trip - A great day trip. It was scheduled perfectly and our driver, Wendy, was a pleasure. Our carriage driver, Carol was very knowledgeable and the horse, Ben was sweet and calm. Boone Hall was very informative and the guides answered all questions asked. The boat ride was smooth and the captain gave us so much history about Fort Sumter and surrounding area.
I would definitely recommend to friends!

Love the Boone Hall Plantation tour the most! - We really enjoyed the Boone Hall Plantation, very educational and all the tour guides were really good. But we didn’t care much for the boat tour. The carriage tour ride was nice but hard to hear the tour guide at the very back of the carriage, wish we had chosen to do the bus ride tour instead. Wish we would have been able to spend more time at the market place. Over all, we loved it.

Day Trip to Charleston - We really enjoyed the carriage ride around Charleston, learning about the history of the city. Would have loved to have had a little more time to explore the market, but the boat ride out to Ft. Sumter was wonderful. Boone Hall Plantation was a great experience as well.

Next time I’ll drive. Scent should not be allowed in public places - It was an excellent trip and the driver was very nice. We were dismayed that we weren’t given the option to be picked up at or near our hotel as we drove by it after our pick up.
About thirty minutes after boarding the bus; one of the passengers who got on was wearing perfume and sat behind me. I ended up getting a headache and feeling nauseous. At Georgetown, we used the facilities and it made me feel better. She heard me complain, so she sat across the aisle, behind my husband. He ended up with watery eyes and congestion. Neither of us are allergic; but a bus should be scent free.
The ride home was good; but someone complained that they were cold. Shutting off the air would have been ok; but I think the heat was put on. I ended up removing as many layers of clothing that were decent and sweating .

almost a good tour. - The carriage ride was great, boat tour was great, lunch was good, Plantation visit was great. Bus ride was not good. Told us twice that we would ride in a coach bus and pick us up at the Resort. They called back and said we had to meet at Ripleys. That was okay. They showed up with a small shuttle bus and squeezed all 24 of us into every seat. Had to ride with our backpacks and jackets. No storage space and no room for souvenirs. Driver said that she didn't expect so many people and yet she had a clipboard with all our names on it. Driver did a good job for what she had to work with. Even made two bathroom stops, which was good, but it did make the trips longer.

Disappointed - The tour was unorganized. There was a lot of meet me here and there . The driver seemed to be in such a rush. It was really annoying. I did this tour in New York with this company and I kind of expected the same professionalism but it was not here. Disappointed

Poor hospitality & disorganized. - Best part was the harbor tour. The rest we experienced poor hospitality. No communication with guide or driver after giving our name. Timing issues. Dropped at wrong site.
