It was a great tour and Anderson was very knowledgeable. Lots of history and information about Charleston.
Great tour, Shawn was very knowledgeable about the history of the city, got to see a lot of cool places of interest from wars, slaves, kings to fires and earth quakes.
We had difficulty hearing the tour guide. We asked him to turn up his volume a couple times but the people in the back of the bus still could not hear and became disengaged.
Very informative, air- conditioned bus was comfortable! A great way to learn and see the history of Charleston!!
Anderson did a great job introducing us to Charleston! We followed some of his personal recommendations for food and were not disappointed.
Fantastic tour of Charleston going off the beaten touristy path and offering interesting stories about the city
Very fun way to spend an afternoon. Tour guide was really knowledgeable and told us a lot of interesting facts.
This was a great air conditioned tour of Charleston. Driver had great knowledge of Charlestons history and personal city facts.
The bus ride was very comfortable and very informative. We enjoyed it very much. Our driver was very nice and really knew tons of information about Charleston. We learned a lot.
It was amazing, so nice in a bus, air conditioning the experience was just fantastic. I would recommend to all ages. Will worth the cost
Our driver/guide, Anderson, did a fantastic job. His communication was engaging, and his love for the city was evident. Vehicle was a little warm. Appreciated the stories (except the one about the jail - ew) and local tips.
Keep an open mind. The driver was curious about where everyone was from. He was extremely friendly. Would definitely recommend and book
Friendly and knowledgeable driver. Nice cool and clean bus. Easy booking and pickup location. Do it.
Sight seeing was great. Listen carefully to the tour guide. I think a longer tour at a slower pace would be better.
We were extremely impressed with Scott. He is a wealth of knowledge, patient, professional, and very passionate about Charleston. The tour exceeded our expectations and we would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about the area!
The driver, Anderson, was great! We learned a lot about the history of Charleston and Anderson had a lot of food recommendations. Highly recommend.
The driver/tour guide had a southern accent difficult to understand, plus his microphone was faulty and the A/C was so loud: could not hear the facts even after speaking up because he couldn’t hear me! Most of the sights were good, except for the academy portion of the tour was too long. Overall; just ok.
The tour starts at a renovated train depot. Really pretty to see and explore while waiting on the start of the tour. Our driver was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and provided lots of important details. The ride is a little over an hour, you don’t stop anywhere to take pictures so you probably will have to take a video. I would have like to stop for a couple minutes at some points to snap pictures. Some people fell asleep because it’s not very interactive.
Anderson was fantastic! Fun. Knowledgeable and professional. We not only were entertained, we had a history lesson.
I've been on many city tours throughout Europe and the USA, and Scott's tour of Charleston was the best I've ever experienced! He is very knowledgeable, informative, and speaks very clearly. All while expertly navigating the streets of Charleston!
Great way to see parts of the city and learn some history at the same time! Anderson was very knowledgeable and personable!
Great knowledge of Charleston. I don’t remember the drivers name but he was very polite and professional. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent bus trip, very informative. The tour is in the bus terminal right next to the Charleston visitor center
Anderson was our guide. We highly recommend him because he is interactive and extremely knowledgeable. I love the way he incorporates his personal favorite places. Job well done!!!
Our tour guide was a native of Charleston. He was personal, knowledgeable and was able to give detailed information about the sites we visited. It was one of the best tours that we have ever experienced.
Tour is very informative!! Small group which made asking questions easier. The bus very comfortable. We came into town same day and was able to get a reservation. Highly recommend
Many many point of interest along the way, bus air conditioning was not working properly, hot in bus.
Tour advertised as a 90 minute tour. Driver had us board the bus at the departure time and we sat for 30 minutes while to told us history. We chose to get off the bus along the way, we were already 35 minutes late and not back to the station yet.
Unfortunate tour was so far off schedule. We had other time events on that day and needed to stick to our schedule.
The driver is smart, entertaining, and enjoyable to listen to. Learned from him and enjoyed the trip. Very good English and spoke very well. Driver and teacher is very good.A
Very informative tour. Allen was a wealth of information. Well worth it. Covers a large portion of the city.
Most of the time the tour operator talked about where to go for restaurants food he liked and rivalry between his university and Citadel.
I was not informed of the charge for the bus included a tour of the powder museum
Bus did not let us get out to take any pictures even though your site showed selfie photographs of people at points of interest
I expected to learn about history and architecture and the rich southern culture... sadly more emphasis was given to where to eat, personal preferences, dogs, alma mater rivalry and wedding venues... All in all disappointing
