Riding thru Charlston.

Driver as a local and really knew his history. Bus as comfortable as it was a hot day. Good way to see the city in comfort.
Great tour!!
Kevin_W, Apr 2024
Great tour, excellent customer service. The tour of the town was great- but walking through the Charleston historical museum was outstanding. One of the best museums I’ve been to!!
In love with Charleston!
Janis_W, Apr 2024
We throughly enjoyed our tour, and our driver/guide was full of of interesting tidbits. We've come to Charleston many times, and take tours every time. We can't get enough of this wonderful city, its charm, beauty, food, and history. We hail from Omaha, NE. Charleston is one of our favorite cities in the US to visit.
Very educational!

A 'MUST' do on DAY 1
Juan_V, Nov 2023
Take this tour on day 1, hour 1, and minute 1 of your arrival in Charleston. Some folks on my tour took this on their last day and totally regret it, because they missed out on so many things the tour reveals. This is a 'day 1' MUST do!! You will get a great lay of the land and things to do. Great narration from our tour guide. Make sure you go into the visitors center (pick-up point) and get maps and more ideas on things to do.
Great Tour, Great Guide
Robert_M, Nov 2023
My wife and I took this tour on a Thursday morning. It is a very efficient way to learn about the city's history while also getting an overview of the city neighborhoods. Our tour guide was excellent. She had an incredible knowledge of everthing about the city.
History of Charleston
Melinda_P, Oct 2023
Mike was a great historian! Would definitely go on another bus ride with him. He spoke the history the moment we got in the bus to the moment we ended the ride.
Our guide was very knowledgeable! We enjoyed the tour very much!
Tami_B, Oct 2023
The Citadel and the Harbour were our favorites. It was interesting to see all the historic houses and churches.
The Scripted City Tour of Charleston SC
Orabelle_W, Sep 2023
I was not impressed by the information shared by the narrator. I was disappointed and felt that it was exclusive of areas of the city where African Americans resided. I felt that that information was scripted and not designed to include the aforementioned areas of the city. O.W.Washington
Awesome would recommend
Kevin_F, Sep 2023
Rainbow row was awesome listening to the guide and how knowledgeable he was with the city history I loved seeing the citadel and the half houses
So much history, too short of time
Patricia_S, Sep 2023
Great way to start our visit. Our guide was excellent and full of knowledge. I had only wished the tour had been longer. 90 minutes only touched on the history. Tomorrow we will hit the museum.

Charleston City Tour in Comfort!
Suzanne_B, Aug 2023
We enjoyed the city bus tour as it was our first tour in Charleston. In addition, the air conditioned bus made the tour exceptionally nice with the temperatures in the 90’. We look forward to visiting Charleston again and will definitely include some tours on our next visit.

Kimberly_F, Jul 2023
The tour guide was so funny and knowledgeable! She cares so much for the city of Charleston and it’s history and the tour showed! She (I wish I remembered her name) was absolutely perfect! It was the 10:00 tour on 7/15.
