5 stars - Enjoyed everything. Bus driver was more than capable and navigated 2 unplanned detours with ease, the horse carriage guide knew everything and more (!). The only hiccup was someone counted wrong and when I went to get my boxed lunch onboard the Carolina Belle, they had run out. I was the last person to show up - I had 2 tickets and they had one lunch. Not the boat's issue at all - a 3rd party does the prep, but they felt bad ... while I didn't get the planned lunch I did not go away hungry. But the boat lost out on some profits by feeding and watering me :) Boone Plantation was as expected - not quite enough time to see everything and attend the shows. There are several pick up locations in Myrtle Beach but now our strip on the beach. Getting picked up at our locations would have been PERFECT! We are on the Golden Mile/Cabana Row and you would think it would be included.

Great trip to Charleston - Great trip to Charleston from Myrtle Beach. We had a full day with so much to see. Our bys driver was excellent in getting us to each location on time.

Great trip - Shopping at the market was better than expected. Many vendors with a variety of offerings. City tour was very informative and interesting. Lunch was nice, we ate at the plantation. The plantation home guide gave a lot of information about the home. Our driver for both tours were very accommodating. There is a lot of walking so bring your comfortable shoes.

We were visiting Myrtle... - We were visiting Myrtle Beach and this was a great day trip to see a glimpse of Charleston. Boone plantation is a gem in Charleston. I’m glad we have this part of history preserved.

Boared but the end was better - The ride on the tractor pulling the suri learning the farm operations. The house tour was just ok. The trip needed more organization and information. The Plantation was ok but they needed more people to tour our group to the different sights. The tour did not mention all the walking that was involved.

A bit disappointing - We were a little disappointed with the tour overall. The bus tour of Charleston seemed to end rather abruptly, the tour guide was difficult to understand, and then too much “market time” was allotted to be on our own. It was too long of a day for what we experienced from the tour itself.

Poor, single medium of communication - This is purely constructive criticism. I booked 3 tickets on 3/23/24 at 11:20 AM. When I booked the tickets, pick up from our hotel was specifically offered and I selected it. At 11:48 AM (while we were at the beach), I missed a call and a voicemail was left from the tour operator, stating that we had to go to another location to be picked up. The most significant problem was that my did not show a missed call or voicemail notification and in 2024, I believe that we can all agree that call/voicemail notifications do not alway appear on cell phones. The one call was the only attempt by the tour operator to reach us, some 17 hours prior to our hotel pick up that was no more. At a minimum, any professional should make multiple attempts to reach someone via phone call, text and/or email. One call does not and will not suffice. Also, blaming the customer for missing the call/voicemail is technically correct, but very, simple, amateur customer service.
