Top Charleston Trolley Tours

This was, by far, one of the best walking tours we’ve ever experienced, and all the credit goes to one individual. Our guide, Finn! This man’s personal passion for, and knowledge of history, combined with his lifelong career in education, made for a fabulous tour. The pace was just right, accommodating all physical abilities. Our particular group had great questions and insights, which encouraged dialogue and discussion, and made for an even richer experience.

I highly recommend this experience. We enjoyed the very relaxing atmosphere and southern hospitality, as well as the beautiful large oak trees on the property, which is located close to the famous Angel Oak. We had a great experience, and the tour guide, who was also the trolley driver, was energetic and funny. Inside the gift shop, a video tour of the tea garden's history and processing is offered, and both hot and cold tea tasting is available for free. The gift shop is also well-assorted with all kinds of teapots, making it a great place for collectors of those items, as well as local products such as jam and honey. Of course, they also feature a large variety of American original tea blends and flavored teas from the Bigelow sister brand.

Went with my husband and two teens for a quick and informative tour of Charleston via (well air conditioned) bus tour of all the main sights. While we didn’t stop to get off, our tour guide pulled off for a quick photo from the bus. Hit all the highlights, recommendations for later stops. Definitely beat the heat and saw the city. Worth your 90 minutes!
