It was very enjoyable but not for 8 and 12 year old. Our driver knew her history and was a good driver. A little too folksy and chatty for me 🤷♀️
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your feedback!
We had the best time with Brandon. He was so engaging and had the best stories about the city! Perfect amount of walking and talking
Our tour guide John was absolutely phenomenal. He was a perfect combination of funny, educational, and historian. This tour was great because we got to see everything from the battery to the historic area, both sides of the river but you don’t get with a walking tour. There wasn’t a question we asked that he didn’t know the answer to. Every street was packed with historical facts, stories about architecture, history, and the city and the war. My ticket included a ticket to the museum, which was quite phenomenal. Don’t hesitate book now.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so happy to hear John made your experience so memorable with his knowledge, humor, and storytelling. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed both the tour and museum experience, we truly appreciate the recommendation!
We tried to go to the museum the day before our bus tour. We did not realize that our museum ticket was given to us at the tour bus.
You gain so much information and see many parts of Charleston in 90 minutes. John was a great guide and we also went to Charleston Museum which was very interesting
Beverly, our driver/tour guide was a hoot. Good info and very entertaining. We enjoyed seeing other parts of Charleston and the different architecture of homes.
Guide extremely knowledgeable and did a great job giving historical information. Very good tour. Highly recommend.
Excellent historical tour! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and detailed! He interjected a bit of humor at times and really knew his stuff

Our driver John was very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. We learned a great deal of Charleston history.
Driver was clever and knowledgeable However windows were so small we could hardly see what he was talking about.
Certified driver with extensive knowledge about architecture and history. John gave personal anecdotes and recommendations based on our interests. And he had a great sense of humor!!!
We learned a lot about Charleston. Our driver/guide was good but talked the entire time which did not allow for questions.
very informative and recommended.
The guide was well informed and interesting
Charleston museum which was included in ticket is boffo and not to be missed
Reduced 1 star due to difficulty in adjusting AC to accommodate front and rear
The driver provides the narration so each ride is different. Nice AC on bus, on time & you get free tixs to the Charleston museum
The driver was on time. The tour was amazing. Learned a lot about the local architecture and history got to see places that we wanted to visit in our own vehicle. Once a tour was over. Would definitely advise everyone to do this.
Bad communication and no refund. I contacted the company for where the bus was due to my first time after parking and they didn’t offer for the bus to wait 3 min. As we were approaching the bus they pulled off.
Driver was fantastic!!!! Very knowledgeable and entertaining . Great things to see! So glad we went.
Very informative and entertaining. A nice ride with a nicer tour guide. A good way to see the city if you cannot, or do not want to, walk a lot
Very informative trip, our guide Kevin has a wealth of knowledge. Kept our interest the entire trip using wit and humor
Tour guide was very informative. He really knew the city history and I really enjoyed the tour. Totally recommend this adventure.
We enjoyed the information about the sights we were seeing. Our guide gave us some good historical facts that we never learned in our history classes.
Tour and the homes, tour guide was very nice and informative..this survey is to long we should be able to say few thing and submit it. Only other thing I would say
The tour guide should walk an announce where we are loading.
The tour provided an excellent overview and history of the historical neighborhoods covered leaving us wanting to return to explore more in depth. The museum was larger and more interesting than we had anticipated. The Visitor's Center was great-particularly the very clean bathrooms.
The tour guide focused on being amusingly entertaining. As a result, she told a number of funny stories, but I wanted to know more about history and architecture.
We thought the tour guide was very knowledgeable and the sights we saw were interesting. We even went back to a few on our own to see them up close. We had the tickets for the museum as well which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Our driver was phenomenal! Very entertaining! She was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. She made sure everyone was comfortable.
Driver was totally awesome, amazing, knowledgeable, sweet, and wonderful.
Her enthusiasm for her job showed.
Would take this Tour again if so he was driver/narrator.
