What people are saying about Charleston

Having visited Charleston many times, we had a good basic knowledge of the city’s history and geography. But these two tours were very informative and we learned many new interesting things. Although different in scope, the bus tour and the harbor cruise complemented each other and made for a relaxing and pleasant experience. The bus tour was especially exceptional - the driver narrated the entire trip with both factual and anecdotal information.

Great way to spend a rainy day ! Alan was our bus tour guide and was awesome. Afterwards we toured Charleston Harbor and Stephen was our guide. He was awesome also !

Tour Guides were very knowledgeable and entertaining as well. I highly recommend taking the gray line bus tour and harbor cruise.

the guide , driver and doing a good job for charter and for boat, nice , quiet and lady guide too.

Wonderful! Ask for Steve the tour guide for the boat he is awesome!
