Tamika_E, Apr 2026
Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of Charleston. I wish it was more interactive, but I guess there’s not much that can be done in 90 minutes.
Shay_P, Apr 2026
The tour bus is not suitable for touring. We could not see anything at all. There was no quick stop at the Battery. We also did not do the last 3 pass bys. It was not an enjoyable experience for my daughter and me.

Peggy_H, Mar 2026
Like seeing the area but not much about construction of the buildings
Liked to see the area where you could see Fort Sumter longer

Great historic tour. Charleston is a beautiful city. ALAN was so informative. It is on a bus and we got to see a lot of the Old Town area.

Shawn was a large part of the success of the tour. He mixed a large volume of incredible information with bits of humor that made the tour an outstanding experience. It’s a “must-do” for anyone visiting Charleston.
Nancy_C, Mar 2026
Our driver was very knowledgeable, especially since he grew up in Charleston. He shared information about the old mansions, churches and history of the Region.

Tall folks should absolutely skip this one. Leg room on the coach was abysmal. First in line at check-in, but the front row (4 seats with additional legroom), were all reserved.
Christa_F, Mar 2026
Very informative. Good way to get to see the city and learn some of its history. It was nice to be inside since it was cool outside.
Jan_P, Mar 2026
Highly recommend. Guide was fun and informative. The hour and half tour flew by. We’ve visited Charleston many times before and we learned new historical facts from our guide. The bus was clean and comfortable.
