Very informative with rich detail. Our driver gave a tailor-made experience and answered particular questions according to your interests. The driver grew up in SC and gave historical as well as first-hand knowledge. Very friendly and helpful. I would definitely return next time.
Terrific tour - exceeded expectations!

Kim was an excellent guide. Her local knowledge of history and architecture was infectious. It was also meaningful that she shared her personal experiences and views, which put things into context. We really enjoyed the tour - it brought history to life for us in just 90 minutes. Thank you!

Kim was a wonderful driver. She was local and knew all of the history. We have a private tour of the whole Peninsula, she gave us so much information. We felt like locals by the time we were done. Her knowledge and professionalism was outstanding.

How many times have you been on a bus tour where you know the tour guide is talking and just telling you things they memorized? It happens all over the world. I found the brochure for the Charms of Charleston Bus Tour at the Visitor Center. It stood out from all of the other tours. When you take the bus tour with the Charms Of Charleston, Kim Wood gives you a complete tour packed with local flavor. Kim's hospitality and knowledge will give you lots of memories to take home. That's what travel and touring is all about. Thanks Kim!

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.

Kim is a very knowledgeable, informative Charlestonian tour guide. I also enjoyed her sense of humor. The tour gave me just what I was looking for as far as an overall city experience.
