Start your Charleston visit here! - This is the best tour to start off your visit to Charleston!! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the historical information and was also very funny. The pickup up and drop off point couldn't have been more convenient to the Hampton Inn.

Best city tour available 🏙️ - I’ve gone to many city tours but this one has been my favorite. Andrew was very knowledgeable and made learning about the city super fun. I loved being able to hear what he was saying compare to other tours where you can’t hear well. Would do the tour again!

History and Culture of Charleston at its best - Major Ted was a very informative guide and driver. His route covered so many unique parts of the city and his knowledge of the history gave us a real feel for the culture. He also added many humorous tidbits.

Best ever - John the tour guide was amazing. His knowledge of Charleston and its history was outstanding. We learned so much about Charleston as this was our first visit. I recommend the trolley tour as you see much more than you could in a walking tour.Thanks John! Keith and Kathleen

Good Introduction to Charleston - Our driver guide, The Meg, was knowledgeable, entertaining and accommodating. This is a short tour that hits some of Charleston’s highlights and helped us to decide what to do next. Some people stop at the Public Market instead of taking the tour all the way to the end. Good if you want to visit a gazillion souvenir shops, otherwise just stay on the bus.
