Be entertained by knowledgeable guides and learn the history about some of the most historical sites Charleston has to offer, including the Citadel, the South's most famous military academy, and the Old City Market. See amazing gardens, wrought iron art, many of the city's 210 churches, and so much more. This tour is non-stop, but there will be a quick stop at the Battery for a photo opportunity.

Our tour guide was...

4.00Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of Charleston. I wish it was more interactive, but I guess there’s not much that can be done in 90 minutes.
Slightly disappointing

4.00Tour guide was nice, but talked to fast was difficult to understand, did not point at some points of interest. Strong promotion biases were noted. Compare to other companies no stops for photo opportunities were offered.
Disappointed.

1.00The tour bus is not suitable for touring. We could not see anything at all. There was no quick stop at the Battery. We also did not do the last 3 pass bys. It was not an enjoyable experience for my daughter and me.
Knowledge guide but spoke very fast

4.00We enjoyed the tour. The bus was comfortable. Friendly and warm tour guide, and knowledgeable. But he talked so fast and his volume ebbed and flowed. I thought maybe was just me but my family came away saying the same. We missed a lot of details. We’d definitely want to do the tour again someday!

History class

3.00We go on these tours to learn about the city and and present day attractions, this one was more of boring history class on war. We passed many areas that looked interesting and nothing was mentioned about them. Maybe a different guide would have made a difference.
More history please
