| This was a really great tour. Jam packed with things to do and it provided a great overview of the Charleston area. Our bus driver/tour guide also pointed out areas of interest on the way to Charleston and this helped us find things to do during the remainder of our stay that we really enjoyed as well. The carriage ride was brief and not horribly detailed, the harbor cruise was very informative but be sure to bring sunscreen, and the plantation tour was very nice. I wouldn't recommend this day for children as it is long and more intellectual in nature. |

| The carriage ride , the boat tour and the Boon Hall Plantation tour were all up tp par. The tour bus driver was very informed on everything going on in each town from Myrtle beach to Charleston. He was very friendly and personable. The tour guides on all of the tours of this trip were very friendly and knowledgeable. The carriage ride was extremely comfortable. I enjoyed the up close and personal veiws of the mansions in Charleston. The boat ride was very nice and thorough. We were up close to Fort Sumter and The USS Yorktown. The narrator gave detailed history as we passed these attractions and all others. Boon Hall Plantation was nice too, You got to see The line of Live Oaks all lined up in a row . |

| I would gladly recommend this tour. I would recommend that the harbor boat tour be shorter to allow for more time to shop after the carriage ride. |

| We would have loved more time in the town. Instead of the boat trip, we would have loved to have the option to stay in town to see some of the mansions and to see the slave market. We really didn't have enough time to look and purchase anything there because we only had about 1/2 hr. and that included the walk to and back to the bus.The homes would have been much more interesting then the boat ride. The trip to the plantation was interesting but we should have been notified that the enactments were not beening done. |

| If you are a minority beware of this trip!!!!
I was looking forward to this trip. I researched it well ahead of time and booked early. I literally cancelled another trip to attend this trip. However, I, as well as my family members felt discriminated against on this trip. We were the only minorities on this trip and we felt the resentment from the start. As the trip progressed, it seemed to get worst.
Some of the discomfort was not the fault of the driver; however, non minorities were very segregated from minorities. The driver spoke fast and seemed to direct most of the conversation to the people in the front of the carriage, not the back of the carriage.
I was a little disappointed with the plantation tour; not enough history or information provided. However, I was pleased with the timeframe allotted to allow us to walk around and view history.
I will not recommend this tour to any of my minority family members or friends!
Very disappointed!!!!!
I was very surprised I saw no minorities driving any of the carriages. |

| Having been to Charleston many times with family & friends in the past we always wanted to do the thing this trip offered (carriage ride) but never had the time.
The bus was very nice (COOL) and the bus driver was very informative, courteous and punctual, which made the trip nice for our international friends.
The price for this tour was a great value as this trip would have cost double the price if we would have drove down from Myrtle Beach ourselves.
It was really nice to be picked up and escorted to each tour without having to worry about finding parking!
The harbor boat tour was a nice time to just sit down to eat your box lunch and enjoy the beautiful weather as the boat captain provided a factual history of Charleston harbor.
After a busy day of touring Charleston is was very nice to just sit in the Air Conditioned bus and relax for the 1 1/2 hour drive back to Myrtle Beach.
We highly recommended this tour group & trip to Charleston. |

| I would recommend this trip to everyone. We enjoyed the boat and carriage ride as well as the trip to the plantation. I would have liked more time at the plantation but understand the restraints. The people were nice and knowledgeable and the best part...we didn't have to drive. The only problem I had with the tour was that we had a child with us and had to pay the same package price for her as we paid for the adults but when we were in Charleston, we noticed reduced prices for children for everything we did. I think you should pass the savings on to the families because the differences were significant. |
