Very pleasant tour guide.... - Very pleasant tour guide. We saw and learned a lot about Charleston. It wasn’t a very warm day, but the air conditioner in the bus couldn’t keep up with the warmth.

A must-do - We had a limited time in Charleston. The tour was a must in our book. Alan did not disappoint. He more than delivered. He enthralled us (and the rest of the bus) with the colorful history. Fun facts and the few stories he told. A Yankee transplant he more than delivered and entertained. The tour was great. We would have never been able to learn and see all we did if we had skipped it. Thank you

Enjoyable - Our driver performed double duty as our tour guide as well, and he did a very good job. He was a history lover and had plenty of tidbits about Charleston to share with us. He was even kind enough near the very end of the tour to drop us off only one block from our hotel. I highly recommend this tour in order to get a thorough taste of Charleston and its history.

Dissapointed - Your tour did not include what was stated in the details. Very disappointed. Driver dropped at different location. Rainbow row is why we took the tour to see that location. However, driver stated he could not go down that street.
