Our bus driver Greg was excellent. He gave us a lot of information as we made our way to Charelston. The box lunch and the boat tour were also very good. We would liked to have had more time in Charleston. All in all we both enjoyed it. If possible it would have been nice to stop off at the historic sights we saw.
Would chose same tour company again and will recommend it to my friends. |

The trip from Myrtle Beach to Charleston was wonderful. The carriage ride through old town was great with many interesting sites. The guide/driver was very informative and made many interesting references to the houses, churches and sites in the area. The walk through the city market was very interesting, though the baskets available to buy were out of my price range. The harbor tour on the ferry was wonderful taking you up close and personal to Ft. Sumter and the surrounding old forts, the aircraft carrier Yorktown and the sites on the shore. And finally the tour of the Plantation was great and very interesting due to seeing the site in movies and television. The bus and bus driver (Frank) were comfortable and safe through the streets of Charleston. The only problem we had was the box lunch. A 1/16 inch piece of ham on a four inch piece of bread made me wish for a cracker and a bottle of water. Dry, awful lunch. If you take the tour you will love it, but bring yourself something to eat. |

All inclusive tour of charleston that was great - lot of info about history of charleston - guides on each part of tour were great - made it easy that boxed lunch was included on harbor boat tour. This was my first time to charleston and learned and saw a lot. I liked seeing fort sumter quite close from the ship on the harbor tour. |

The tour was well organized and very informative. The horse drawn carriage tour was exceptional as was the harbor boat tour. I would, however, shorten the plantation tour in order to allow more time in the open air market between the carriage and boat tours. Overall, I was extremely pleased and happy that I chose a guided tour as opposed to doing this on my own. The price was well worth the experience. |

The only critic I have is that the plantation tour was not what I expected and could have done without it. I am from Louisiana and we have great plantation homes. Anyway I would liked to have more time on the horse and buggy and much more time in the market. Boat trip was fantastic. All in all a good trip |

Everything about this tour was wonderful. I enjoyed the carriage ride through Charleston the most. It was interesting to hear the history of the city and the people who live there. Our guide was very friendly, interesting, funny and informative. The boat ride was fun and full of history about the city. We did not have much time to spend in the market place which I at first I was disappointed that we wouldn't have a lot of time there. However, once we got there that was OK that we didn't have much time there as I was disappointed in it. To me, it seems to be much hype about nothing. Maybe it was because we didn't have much time there I didn't get to see everything. The plantation tour was also nice, however, we didn't get to tour many rooms within the house. All in all, if you are in Charleston, and especially for the first time, this is a tour that you definitely should take. My husband and I had a wonderful day. Also, our bus driver was very nice and professional. |

My husband and I enjoyed the horse and buggy tour of the city and the cruise in Charleston Harbor. The one disappointment was the boxed lunch. The sandwich was a huge piece of dry bread and not much else, fruit was terrible and the cookie hard. I don't know what we paid for this but it was too much! The tour of the plantation was also very nice. Bus driver, Mark, was very knowledgable and very nice. |
