Sean was our guide and was very knowledgeable on the history of the city. He was very friendly and added some humor to the tour. It was helpful to take this tour when we first arrived having never been here before. We went back to several of the places he recommended.

Bought the worst!
Connie_H, Mar 2024
Did not go well at all! We did not get notified that it had been canceled. I called them after tour scheduled time and they then informed me that it had been canceled the day before. No apologies or explanation. I will never use this company again. Plus, they informed me I would have to wait 7 to 10 business days to receive my refund..huh??

Jennifer_M, Feb 2024
Very enjoyable, informative time. Driver was very personable and funny! Ride was comfortable, got to see sites that we couldn’t on foot.
Very depressing tour.
Neal_A, Feb 2024
The guide for our tour spent far too much time discussing slavery. One would think this is the only thing Charleston is noted for. He also went overboard discussing his views on illegal immigration. The rest of the tour was disjointed. It would have been nice to hear some of the positive things about Charleston. It is a beautiful and welcoming city.
