Well Worth it! - The ride from/to Myrtle Beach was relaxing. The tour of Charleston and the history was informative. The visit to Boone Plantation was interesting. Worthwhile trip and highly recommended tour.

Great Tour of Charleston - Great multi-venue tour of Charleston from Myrtle Beach. The bus picked us up at Ridley’s Aquarium in Myrtle Beach & took us to Charleston for the day. We had a guided horse & carriage tour through a section of Charleston by Derik who was extremely knowledgeable about Charleston history. We had time to shop at the historic market before the bus took us to a harbor cruise tour with a bag lunch included. The guide on the boat gave us great info on the history of Charleston harbor from the Civil War to the present. From there we took the bus to Boone Plantation. The staff presented the history of this plantation, exposing the facts of the slave trade & how the slaves contributed to the success of this operation prior to the Civil War. The historic setting and factual presentations brought history to life in this beautiful setting. Afterward, the bus returned us back to Myrtle Beach. It was wonderful letting the driver handle the traffic & parking in the bustling tourist city of Charleston. We were able to get to see much of Charleston, enjoy the sites by carriage, walking & by boat. All this including transportation to/from Myrtle Beach in just under 12 hours!

A Great Way to Spend the Day - We were pleased at how well the trip was organized and run. Our bus driver “Al” was excellent and informative. It’s noteworthy to point out the efforts made to be sure no guests were left behind.

A good overview - The bus and driver (Al) were on time The carriage ride was excellent, full of information. The driver, Mason and the horse (Prince) were excellent. We didn’t have time to get through the market so I was disappointed. The boat tour of the harbor was very good too. The tour of the Boone plantation was interesting but that was a lot after a long and hot day. Would have rather spent more time in the market. It was a very nice way to get an overview of the Charleston area. I would recommend it.

Great trip - Trip was great. Alex our driver was a blast. The only reason for a 4 was we had a sandwich for lunch but no water. Nothing to drink. If we had not had water with us we wouldn’t have had anything to drink.

Fun day with friends 🧡 - This trip was well worth the cost. It was a quick tour through the city. Our driver gave information on points of interest. Shopping the market was fun. The lunch provided was fresh and more than enough. Boone Plantation was amazing! Being able to rest and converse during the travel was a benefit.

Fun in Charleston - Downtown Charleston interesting architecture. Boone Plantation provided a lot of history. Confusion on pick up points was hard for people not from the area. Also no veggie option as requested for lunch.
