| This trip was worth the money! It included a little bit of everything to give you a good overview of Charleston and was very interesting and fun. It was great to be able to do the horse & buggy ride, boat tour and some exploring on foot which included some free time to look around or shop. I definitely recommend this trip. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The bus driver Dave was great - couldn't have been nicer. On the way home he played a comedy DVD which helped to pass the time. He gave us an excellent background on the Myrtle Beach area.
The horse and carriage ride was a wonderful way to see the beautiful city of Charleston. Only problem is that hard to take photos while moving. Much information was being given to us very quickly and it is difficult to take it all in.
We had about an hour to shop at the market -- there were sweet grass baskets being made. Other than that most of the merchandise was flea market type stuff.
The harbor cruise gave us a different perspective of Charleston -- we had beautiful weather and also enjoyed this. The box lunch was very nice, even my picky husband liked it.
The Boone Hall Plantation was also lovely -- the oak lined drive in was gorgeous and the gardens very colorful. The local guide was dressed in costume which added to the fun.
Feel we saw a lot in a day. |

| We appreciated the historical parts of the tour.
We have never been in that part of the country before and the tour gave us a lot of information which we may not have learned without researching the area |

| We didn't want the drive from N Myrtle Beach to Charleston, so we decided to do the tour. It was a very pleasant day - we could not have done all of this on our own. Nicely put together, very nice driver, nice box lunch, enjoyed the carriage ride, harbor tour and tour of Boone Plantation. Timimg was perfect at each stop, and we got back around 5 PM. I would highly recommend. |

| The trip may be a nice experience for people who have not done it before, however,
we found the trip a bit rushed and trying to cover too many activities in one day.
The bus driver on the day we went was not very personable as you would expect in this type of job. He was much to "busness like." We wanted to stop for coffee due to the early morning hour and he would not. It would have taken 10 minutes to go into McDonald's and out again. Previous bus trip drivers did that. He asked if we would like to see a Dean Martin DVD or take a nap. Most people answered "take a nap" and he played it anyway, stopping to put in another disc after that one.
Not enough time at the open air market in Charleston. Not everyone wants to do the boat ride. Lunch aboard the boat was awful. Would much rather preffered staying in the city longer in order to take pictures while walking (carriage ride too bumpy for picture taking.)
Would have prefered to have lunch at a restaurant in Charleston and skipped the boat ride. Boone Hall visit was great!
Would give the trip a C+ |

| My husband & I were visiting Myrtle Beach for a vacation, and we had planned on driving to Charleston, but then we saw the ad for your day trip. We decided to give it a try and it was a wonderful day. My husband got to enjoy the scenery on the drive there and back instead of driving as usual. Our bus driver was very charming abd friendly. The horse drawn carriage was there waiting for us when we arrived, and it was a lovely ride. Our carriage driver was very interesting and had a wonderful sense of humor, adding an extra bonus to the trip. The market was fun to explore and we even had a little time to walk about the side streets before we headed to the boat for our harbor tour. The boxed lunch was delicious, but the only down side was that the boat was already crowded when we boarded, so we did not get very good seats, but we could move about. We just couldn't see what the tour guide was talking about when he was talking about it, but we could figure it out. The plantation tour was also very interesting, we could have used about 30 minutes more at the plantation, but we saw the most important things. The bus driver provided some Dean Martin Variety Hour DVDs for the ride home, which was quite entertaining. All in all, I'd say the tour was well worth the money and a great time was had by all! |

| I recommend to tour to everyone. My friends and I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the whole experience. If you have never been to Charleston, SC before and want a taste of what it has to offer, this tour is for you. However, there are a lot of events scheduled for one day and time is a factor so if you want more time to look at everything, I would suggest traveling yourself. The tour itself is great but time is a factor. |

| It was a very interesting tour of Charleston, especially at our age it helped to be able to see the city and not have to walk. Scott the young man who was our guide was very interesting and knew his information also presented it in a fun way.
The boat ride and lunch was beyond our expectation. The Plantation tour was very good and the grounds were beautiful.
We come to Myrtle Beach each year with family and have been to Charleston before but never did a tour this is definite the way to do it.
The only disappointing part was the lack of shopping time, would have like to had more time to shop. |
