Great Experience - Our bus ride was comfortable with friendly and informative drivers Wendy and Al. We loved the carriage tour, the harbor tour was relaxing and Boone Plantation was beautiful and interesting. The gardens were gorgeous! Would recommend this tour as it's a great and affordable way to experience the Charleston area.

Adventure tours was a great decision for us and we saw a lot for the 90 minutes we were in the van. - WE used the "Adventure" tour company and had a great 90 minute tour of the area. If it's your first trip there, it's a good way to getting an idea of the lay of the land. Tour bus driver was fantastic with the perfect amount of Dad jokes and humor.

Day trip to Charleston - Everything on this travel tour was fantastic. We started with a beautiful carriage ride through Charleston, then took a harbor tour for an hour and a half. After the cruise, we visited Boone Hall plantation. This place is absolutely full of history and is beautiful. We had such a memorable day here in Charleston. Thank you, Viator.

Enjoyable day - The day was enjoyable with perfect weather, Wendy was our bus driver and she was great. Highlights of tour 7 were the upgraded(for additional fee) carriage tour and harbor boat tour. Disappointments: this trip did not include tour inside Fort Sumter as advertised and about 10 minutes is all the time allowed after the carriage tour at City Market. Boone Hall Plantation is mostly on own and does not include the tractor and wagon tour which would have been most informative. Trip is enjoyable, just be prepared you may not get everything you are paying for.

A very enjoyable day! - My wife and I enjoyed our day trip to Charleston. It was a long day because the drive from Myrtle Beach to Charleston is about 2 hours down and 2 hours back. Our driver Wendy was very nice and helpful. She managed the day very well. We enjoyed the narrated carriage ride around the historic district. The visit to the market was interesting. It's about 4 blocks long. The boat trip to Fort Sumter was enjoyable also. Fort Sumter is an interesting Civil War site. Boone Plantation was our last stop. The home is beautiful and the grounds are lovely. The entrance through the oak alley is spectacular. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to spend a day doing something different and interesting.

Great idea to do while visting - Absolutely amazing loved the plantation and Fort Sumpter. Boat ride was cool got to see some dolphins. My favorite was the your of charslton. Just wish we got to see more are that there were specific routies so if I wanted to do it again I could and see a different part but there not so you only get to see one burrow and it's random. Other wise 10 out of 10 loved it

Was slightly unorganized - Carriage ride, liked our driver, very interesting! Didn’t like boat ride at all, Boone plantation was good but we had to wander around and find everything ourselves, paper was not that helpful, blending the 2 companies so far looks like a bad idea!

Not as advertised. Misleading language in description. - Not as advertised.
Description states an inside tour of Fort Sumter is provided. It is not. I had to skip on part of the tour that was advertised so I could see fort Sumter. I'm happy I got to go. But it was an additional expense.
