This was a wonderful tour! Leann was an amazing tour guide and we got to see things the normal city tours don't show you. If you're in Charleston, make sure you book this tour, you won't regret!

We enjoyed the trip. Having been on other bus tours in other cities ....with the same or longer distances from interest point to interest point, I expected the driver/tour guide would be more informative about the area in general. Basically I expected he'd talk more between stops. Driver/guide was personable and friendly chatting with all of us on tour at stops.
On the expensive end of trip costs but the departure time was perfect for our schedule.

Just the right outing for a beautiful day! Leann was fun, flexible and entertaining! The van was comfortable!

Great experience! Guide took us around and let us go at own pace while still keeping us on time. She made experience personable and gave us a very local feel of area, history and culture. Really amazing!!
Donna_S, Mar 2024
Our tour was great. Our guide, Leanne, was very knowledgeable and fun. She provided a lot of interesting history about the area, including a video about the Shag! We would definitely recommend this tour.

What a great way to see the other side of Charleston and what the Lowcountry is really about!

LeeAnn was above and beyond a typical tour guide. She drove us around for 4 hours filling us with lots of history and taking photos of us along the way. She was a true delight. And added in a few extra attractions that were not on the itinerary.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thanks for the kind words. I love showing folks the rest of the Charleston. So much more out to the downtown area.

The our guide was very knowledgeable. She had a beautiful high tech, comfortable van and we had a great time! We would highly recommend!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you! High Tech!!! We even watch videos and see local pictures of times past.

We very much enjoyed seeing the out of the way spots and popular places that are blended into this adventure. The ride was informative, comfortable and overall enjoyable. I think this could be an all day adventure instead of half a day since there is just so much to take in but it was absolutely worth it and we would definitely do it again.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Teresa. You didn't mention this on the tour, but I do have the Complete Charleston tour also, that visits all these and then some more in a 6.5 hour version. Check it out on my site.

The lighthouse was my favorite. The beaches were beautiful and Leeann’s knew so much about the area and history. It was so nice that she had water and snacks. I would definitely recommend doing this tour.
