    We could ot understand the driver. He did not follow the tour guide as noted on the pamphlet. I do not know why he toured the Citadel military school. He did not tour the Rainbow. The tour was one hour not 90 minutes.

  • Great Introduction to Charleston

    The bus tour of Charleston is a great introduction to the Holy City, including learning about the famous sites, houses, and churches. Alan was a very knowledgeable bus driver and tour guide during the excursion.
