Great history tour. - We we're lost at first but the bus driver called and helped us It started stressful but ended up very relaxing. It is alot of walking. I wasn't able to enjoy everything as I wear out quickly. What I was able to experience (which were the things I really wanted to see was absolutely beautiful. Brian out bus driver was great.

Best day ever - We had an absolutely amazing time. When I booked the tour it seemed to be simple fun thing to do for a day. But let me tell you after getting back on the bus after the plantation you have had quite the day. The bus driver was professional and funny. My husband joked that he heard the driver was going to take us for dinner and he said sure there's a wendys and I will even let you get a biggy size.

Great experience - Had a great time. The horse drawn carriage was fantastic. Our guide Emily and Curtis our horse were number 1. Emily was so knowledgeable and friendly. Curtis was the best horse and has a great personality, the cruise was good also and lunch was good. The plantation tour was beautiful. Unfortunately with the temperature 97 degrees we didn’t want to spend much time outside. But will definitely go back there in the fall

Trip to Charleston - The bus trip from Myrtle Beach was comfortable and we enjoyed the tours. We'll worth the money because we wouldn't have known what to do if we went ourselves.

Charles-town - Great tour. You see a lot. Although it seems like a long time you want more time. Overall a good day

Entertaining horse... - Entertaining horse carriage ride narration! Harbor cruise lunch was very disorganized. The harbor narration was “scripted” not special for specific cruise.

Good experience - Overall quite good. Well organized, clean bus, etc.
Andrew from customer service did a nice job trying to accommodate gluten free for boxed lunch.
Timing- wise would have liked to see more of Charleston proper. Could potentially shave a little time off of Boone Plantation because their programs' timing did not always sync ( not able to tour stables because the mansion required that we line up early, for example).
Good value Overall. Lovely day.

Charleston Tour #7 - I have taken this tour 3 times now and each time learn something new because the speakers/guides each have their own twist . The Gullah Culture speaker at Boone Plantation was "Awesome". Unfortunately, this last time, we had no time to shop at the City Market. I was told pick up time at Ripley's was at 6:30 am... we were on time. Bus driver kept waiting for a group that arrived late which cut in to everyone else's time...not very considerate to those who arrived promptly for the trip.

Day Trip - Very good and had fun! The bus driver went above and beyond. No one showed up and we had no maps or knew what was going on. Wished we had more time to shop at the first stop. When we went to the boat for lunch they didn’t even have our information to let us. Other than that was great!!! I give the bus driver a 5 star review.
