Five Stars! The Best Charleston Tour!
Robert_B, Apr 2024
My wife & I took this tour in Apr '24. Leanne was always keeping us "in the loop" getting ready for the tour. Her van was very nice. She had "goodie" bags with snacks & water available for us which was wonderful touch. The tour was all over the Charleston area. We saw and heard stories about the history and current tidbits of info. Her good friend Jay, was driving and as a realtor, he provided much insight on buildings, housing costs, and additional historical info about the area. Leanne had a mic on so we could all hear her (there were 9 of us on the tour) and made sure we could all hear, ask questions, etc. We had time for restroom breaks and to stretch our legs. Overall, the day flew by and we all agreed this was one of our best tours. I had read rave reviews about Leanne from previous tour customers and they are spot on. Leanne does a great job and is the BEST! (Hint: take this tour!)
Fantastic & very enjoyable tour

Thoroughly Enjoyed
Larry_W, Apr 2024
Wonderful tour! Broad cross section of Charleston area. The stops were meaningful and the variety helped give us a feel for the area! Thoroughly enjoyed!
Highest recommendation great value
Michael_S, Apr 2024
We (myself, my wife and my mother) made a reservation with Leanne just a few days before for the Complete Charleston Tour and we absolutely give her our highest recommendation. She is so professional nice knowledgeable and accommodating. This tour is an amazing way to see 12 sites starting inside but most are in the low country outside of the city proper. First, Leanne is a wonderful guide. Check out her website where she has the complete itinerary. I cant image trying to see all this on our own. The tour is a great value and the perfect way to make the most of your time in Charleston and to see the important sites. The sites were beautiful and the history amazing. The van is first class. The lunch stop food was a real highlight. A gem of a local eatery. This tour can’t be beat! Thanks so much!
Full day of fun!
Mary_H, Dec 2023
This was an awesome tour that allows you to see beyond the downtown area of Charleston. Our guide Leeann was the sweetest and her stories kept us engaged the entire day. The sites you are able to see on this tour are breathtaking, highly recommend this tour for a full day of fun!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
This is so true. Get off that peninsula and see the rest of Charleston in one tour!
Exceptional
Patricia_J, Oct 2023
Our tour guide LeeAnn with Snap tours was absolutely the best. One of the ladies in our group hurt her knee and another was recovering from foot surgery. LeeAnn recognized that they would not be able to do as much walking as her tour offered. She told our group no problem. I will change up our excursion showing you all the places plus some without much walking. She did an excellent job. We had a terrific and fun time.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
I try to accommodate all mobility issues. Charleston is a tough place to navigate because there is so much to see on foot. But. IT IS Possible!
There is more to Charleston then Old Town.
Deborah_M, Jun 2023
Outstanding tour. The tour takes you to the areas outside of Old Town. Areas we would not have visited on our own. We went to the landmarks, islands and beaches surrounding Charleston. LeAnne, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and made our tour a lot of fun. I highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
This is what Snap! is all about. Get Out of Town! See the real life beyond the peninsula. Glad you enjoyed the journey.
No other tour like it!
Sheri_H, May 2023
LeAnn was an amazing ambassador for Charleston! She took us to SO many places that we would never have found on our own. This was a packed day and well worth it! I particularly enjoyed our time at the Citadel. Plus beaches, lighthouses, plantations. We got it all! Don’t hesitate to sign up for this complete tour. You won’t regret it!
Memorable tour
Lisa_B, Mar 2023
Leanne was a great tour guide - lots of interesting information and the transportation was top notch. Thanks for a memorable tour.
Response from Host, May 2023
Lots of stops on this tour! Thanks Lisa for the kind words.
Memorable, relaxing
Dick_P, Mar 2023
Small group, a guide with humor and tons of facts about history, architecture and the Civil War, made it enjoyable and educational. It was an eclectic mix of historical sites, walks on the beach and an amazing 500 year old oak! Memorable, relaxed and a non-tourist feel.
Response from Host, May 2023
Dick! So glad you used the word "Relaxing!"
Lovely experience!
Tanya_M, Sep 2022
Great experience with Leanne as our guide. She went above and beyond to accommodate our special request and to document our memories by taking photos of our group to share with us at the end. 😊 Just lovely!
Response from Host, Sep 2022
What a great day! So glad I could help with the airport transfer. And loved your company!!
Best. Guide. Ever.
Teneisha_D, Jun 2022
What can I say! I had the best day with Leanne! Such an intimate tour. To be able to explore Charleston outside of the city limits was magical. Leanne’s tour consisted of all the places that I wanted to visit, but just didn’t know how. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Charleston and all of the locations that we visited. Thank you, Leanne, for the best day! And thank you for being my personal photographer…you ROCK!
Response from Host, Jun 2022
I'm blushing! It was a joy to show you around this magical city and the Lowcountry. Thanks for joining!
