What are people saying about Charleston

Charleston Eco Boat Cruise with stop at Morris Island Lighthouse

Melanie_C, Apr 2026

We had the most enjoyable...

We had the most enjoyable experience with Capt Trip on the river. He gave a great presentation, teaching us all about the ecosystem and the wildlife. We found several shark teeth on Morris Island! The dolphins made several appearances throughout our journey. Great excursion for kids and older adults too, easy on and off the boat. Do it!

Hidden Alleyways and Historic Sites Small-Group Walking Tour

helen_d, Apr 2026

Great small group tour for an intro to Charleston

In a little more than 2 hours, you will get a very nice introduction to Charleston and a chance to explore some hidden passageways that you might not find on you own (or might not think to walk down them). Jim B was a great guide, he has a pleasant manner and nice sense of humor and lots of information and stories to share to provide good context for the sights you’re seeing. We highly recommend this small group tour - especially if it’s your first visit to Charleston.

Fort Sumter Admission and Self-Guided Tour with Roundtrip Ferry

David_G, Apr 2026

A must visit for the History.

Book early and arrive early. We bought our tickets 30 days in advance. We wanted the first cruise of the day so we could be there for the flag raising. Get there early and be prepared to stand in line if you want to be on the top deck while cruising over to The Fort. Also, the Visitor Center does not open a second before 9am. Keep that in mind if you are traveling and will need a restroom. The park rangers were very helpful and engaging. If we go back, we will do the last cruise of the day for Taps.

Haunted Evening Horse and Carriage Tour of Charleston

Michele_G, Apr 2026

Charleston Ghost tour

Emily was a wonderful tour guide. We loved how she explained Mason’s life to us before we embarked on our tour. Mason was amazing. We were amazed how he knew right where to go. What a sweet boy. It was a lot of fun learning about some of Charleston’s ghost stories and seeing the cute, quaint town!

Historic Charleston Guided Sightseeing Walking Tour

James_S, Apr 2026

The tour was excellent...

The tour was excellent and very informative. Our guide, Amy, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Charleston and shared details you could tell came from real passion and experience. They were also very considerate of the group, making sure everyone could hear, stay together, and ask questions. If you want a tour that is both educational and enjoyable, I highly recommend this experience."

Charleston’s Old South Carriage Historic Horse & Carriage Tour

Jennifer_L, Apr 2026

Carol and Bob - a dynamic duo to show Charleston charm

Carol and Bob (tho he’s a young horse) were excellent tour guides!! Carol really cares about the city and everything and everyone in it and it showed genuinely. A lot of history but also great recommendations for visiting Charleston. We’ll be back…maybe the ghost tour!

Charleston Horse-Drawn Carriage Tour: Explore Historic Charleston

Rachel_K, Apr 2026

Super fun and interesting

Our guide, Sam, was fantastic-- knowledgeable and naturally funny. We learned a lot about Charleston-- we did it our first morning to get oriented. Our only wish is that it was longer! Even our 13 yr old son could have gone on much longer because it was really interesting. Our horse was Boing.

Charleston French Quarter or Brunch Food Tour with 7+ Tastings

maryanngilbert, Mar 2026

This food tour was so...

This food tour was so much fun! Our guide, Sydney was personable and could answer all of our questions. The food was delicious and plentiful. Chicken bog that was surprisingly tasty. I may be making that when I get home. Shrimp and grits, she-crab soup, fritters, pimento cheese, a brown sugar dip, lots of cookies, Nellie’s little biscuit, a surprise treat that was yummy and a sweet ending. Quick tour through the French Quarter. As long as you can climb a staircase and you wear shoes that will keep you steady on the uneven sidewalks of Charleston, I highly recommend the tour.

Afternoon Schooner Sightseeing Dolphin Cruise on Charleston Harbor

Jill_R, Mar 2026

Fun Harbor Experience

Wonderful time exploring the harbor! The knowledgeable Captain provided the facts and anecdotes of the harbor and its history. We sat in chairs on the top deck in the front of the boat even though we were among the last to board. If you have kiddos I would advise getting on line on the early side so you can be against the rail on the front of the boat for best viewing for them. Totally worth every penny!! (Also check out the Charleston Aquarium when you disembark at the end!! It's right there!)

Old Town Trolley Charleston Sightseeing Tour

Sunshynne_N, Mar 2026

Amazing Charleston

If you’re looking for a tour in Charleston, look no further! Major Ted was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely funny, which made the city’s history come alive rather than feeling like a dry lecture. A huge plus was that he had his own microphone, so we could hear every word perfectly even on busy streets. It made a world of difference in appreciating the local history. Truly one of the best tours we’ve ever been on!

Boone Hall Plantation Admission & Tour with Transportation from Charleston

Blanca_C, Mar 2026

Excellent Tour to Boon Hall Plantation

Gregg was a great tour driver he explained a lot of information of what we were going to see at the Boon Hall Plantation. Provided us directions when we got there so we knew how to make the most of our time at the plantation. On the drive there he pointed out things to look at and could take pictures from the shuttle. He was very professional and friendly.

Charleston Harbor History Day-Time or Sunset Boat Cruise

Peg_A, Nov 2025

A visual cruise of the history of Charleston

Over the years, this is the fourth harbor cruise I have done and by far the best. We had a beautiful day. The narration on the trip was easy to hear, informative and interesting, and really gave a close-up picture of the history surrounding the harbor and city of Charleston.
