5.00Nick was an amazing tour guide. He was funny, social, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our family was curious about Charleston’s haunted history, and even though it wasn’t part of the tour, he added a few stories that made the experience even better. He arrived right on time, and the van was spotless and kept at a comfortable temperature for everyone. I’ve taken several tours in Charleston, and this was the first time I was brought to areas I had never seen before. It felt fresh, thoughtful, and genuinely engaging. Highly recommend booking with Chicora Tours.

5.00Nick was fabulous! I’ve been to Charleston several times and it was so nice to get reintroduced to the great city and see all the important sites. The carriages are limited in exactly where they can go.
Perfection in 90 minutes on a 16 passenger bus with excellent guides bringing Charleston to life!

5.00The 90 minute city tour was fascinating and our tour guide made it a memorable experience! Anderson was awesome and humbly let us know all the guides were awesome! Lots of time stopped at places where the stories, needed an extra explanation. We saw all the city with lots of recommendations for restaurants. The 16 passenger bus made the tour less crowded. Use Adventure Tours and you will be well educated about this beautiful little city!
Fun and informative

The Best Way to See Charleston

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00On our recent visit to Charleston, we wanted a tour that felt more intimate and upscale, with a deeper dive into the city’s rich history. After booking through Viator, we were paired with Nick — the owner of Chicora Tours and our guide for the day. What a fantastic choice this turned out to be! Unlike the mass-marketed tours we’ve taken before, this experience felt personalized and thoughtfully curated. Over the course of 1.5 hours, Nick gave us an inside look into Charleston, sharing details and historical insights that were not only engaging but also impressively accurate compared to other tours we’ve taken. His knowledge, passion for the city, and easygoing style made the history come alive in a way we hadn’t experienced before. By the end of the tour, we knew we had made the right decision. Chicora Tours delivered exactly what we were looking for — intimate, informative, and memorable. When we return to Charleston, or when family and friends are looking for a tour, I’ll proudly recommend Nick and his team at Chicora Tours.
