5.00Whenever I / We go to a main city / venue we always use the hop on / off services. Although this wasn't so much a hop on /off as stay on as the bus it would only go round the route once. The guide (Shaun) was excellent, his knowledge of the Charleston area was incredible, (he has been doing it for over 30 years. The bus was a minibus type of vehicle, very comfortable and relevant in some of the narrow roads, which unfortunately can be a bit bumpy. The service was worth every penny (cent)).
