We always choose Viator when visiting elsewhere so when company is visiting , I do the same. Tours are always fun and informative. I learned a few things and I live here! Tour guide Al was great and tried hard to keep the group in the shade on a 100 degree day in Charleston!

There is little shade, so if visiting in summer, wear a hat, sunscreen, and drink water. There are also a lot of steps. There are limited accessible areas for wheelchairs and assisted walkers. Overall, the program is excellent, well-rounded, organized, and informative.

Charleston French Quarter or Brinch Food Tour

The Charleston food tour was very entertaining. Our tour guide Robin was very knowledgeable and had lots of great stories about Charleston. Don't miss this one if you're in Charleston. Of course a good food tour always depends on the guide and Robin is an excellent guide.

Fun carriage ride through...

Fun carriage ride through Charleston. Our driver/narrator Ian was a hoot & very knowledgeable. Random routes are given at the time of the ride due to the # of carriage rides in the city. I was hoping we would go down Rainbow Row but it wasn’t on the route we were given that day. Our route was interesting and I recommend this company for a carriage ride!

Bill was filled with knowledge of the history of Charleston as well as a love of Charleston. The walk was not too strenuous and he attempted to keep us in the shade as much as possible, thankfully. We enjoyed his tour and would recommend it for those who would like to hear a portion of Charleston’s past.

Downtown Charleston Food Tour

Informative, Delicious Food!

I brought my mother to Charleston for a girl’s Birthday trip in which my sister came along. This walking food tour was fun and the restaurant stops had some of the most flavorful food I have ever had. Simon made the tours with his stories and history commentary of Charleston. He was a wonderland and personable guide. Fun personality. I recommend! Thank you, Simon!

The harbor cruise was really great! The ride was very smooth, and the captain's narration throughout the trip was extremely enlightening. We learned so much about Charleston's history. The crew was very accommodating, with beverages and lunch available for purchase (in advance). I would highly recommend this harbor tour!

Best walking tour walk and great recommendations for food

We had Duggar as a guide. Wow. He was awesome. So knowledgeable about the local homes and area . and very pleasant to talk to answered all our questions . kept us in the shade as we were walking in the afternoon sun. One of the best tours we ever had will tell people to ask for. Also, we thank Duggar for the recommendation Doug to the cookie place across the street from where we met on the tour and for Fleet Landing and the green tomatoes and hush puppies. You won’t regret taking this tour. Thanks Duggar. Sheeran family from springfield pa

Charleston's Pleasing Terrors Night-Time Walking Ghost Tour

Jim_P, Jun 2026

A very "Pleasing" Experience

Mike was an awesome tour guide. His knowledge of the stories based on his own research and experience over 30 years along with his story-telling abilities made this a very "pleasing" experience. We are from Chicago and Mike even threw in a quick story about two dangerous lions that the movie "The Ghost and the Darkness" was based on, snd that their reconstructed bodies were on display at the Chicago Field Museum. Highly recommend this tour!

Anita_v, May 2026

Best Charleston Tour guide

This is, by far, the best tour I've ever taken in Charleston! Cooper has vast knowledge of the history of Charleston and tells of things that our history does not teach. He makes the tour fun and humorous as well. I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn TRUE Charleston history!

Magnolia Plantation Admission & Tour with Transportation from Charleston

Bonnie_O, Apr 2026

Natural beauty with a nice property tour and house narrative

This is a quiet way to spend a few hours enjoying nature. The gardens and property are lush and bustling with wildlife. The interpretive guide in the house was very good. Our driver and guide Lexi gave us an added bonus by taking us to the cabins. She was a wealth of historical information. It’s a good tour for adults. I don’t think young people or children would find it too exciting.

Charleston Dark History & Ghost Tour with Adam

Ashley_Y, Feb 2026

All the history

Adam was an incredibly informative tour guide. It’s clear that he is passionate about the city of Charleston and its history. Additionally, my husband and I both recently hurt our backs and we were able to keep up with the tour which we both really appreciated. I would suggest a tour with him to anybody!
