Kim our host/driver was amazing. A native of Charleston, she knows it backwards and forwards. Excellent speaking style, very interesting and totally knowledgeable. Be sure to ask for Kim, she is that good and be sure you don't get on any other 'brand' of tour. Tour is worth the time and money.

Ms. Kim our your leader was funny informative and very knowledgeable of the Charleston history. The bus was comfortable and that was very inloyti both myself and my husband
My husband and two friends of mine took this excursion on 10/24/25. We all agreed it was one of the best bus tours (small sized bus) we have ever been on. Not only was our guide extremely knowledgeable but also extremely funny. I would highly recommend this tour to get an oversight of Charleston. If I could Kim more than five stars I would.
We decided to do this tour at the last minute and so glad we did. It was a very informational and fun tour. Our guide did an amazing job providing history and has an amazing way of relaying the information.
Kim is a very knowledgeable and experienced guide to take you through the highlights in the city of Charleston . She never paused in her narration , was easy to understand, funny and has an exhaustive knowledge . Highly recommend.
I enjoyed the tour and learning about the fascinating history of Charleston. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Kim a Charleston native gave us a wonderful very informative tour of Charleston! She very carefully wound us through the narrow streets of Charleston continuously giving detailed fascinating stories of its past history & present day renovations. At the end wished we could’ve done it all over again as there was so much to take in! But we definitely hope to tour Charleston next time we visit. Highly recommend this tour & especially Kim our very friendly excellent tour guide!!
