Excellent tour / City bus company - Everything went perfectly. Our hotel was a short walk to the city tour bus pick up place. The tour bus had a passenger capacity of about 18 . Our tour bus arrived on time and our tour bus driver was very knowledgeable about the city of Charleston. He grew up in Charleston and amazed us with many interesting facts and stories. I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone who travels to Charleston S.C

“Everything you every wanted to know about slavery in Charleston Tour. - It seemed as every sentence included slavery or slaves. I was expecting more of a fun tour not expecting a high school history class. You could have easily had in earbuds and heard the entire tour recorded. We almost fell asleep a few times. We did see some beautiful homes, enjoyed seeing the Citadel it was the reason I chose this tour.
