We loved our tour. Our tour guide, Terry, was fabulous. A wealth of information with humor added in. Great way to see the city and get a feel for our surroundings before we explored more.

I did not receive the tour I was expecting. Each tour has to stop at a checkpoint to receive a route. Several tours are commencing at the same time, and for everyone to be dispersed throughout the city, there are different tour routes. The guide was nice. I took many pictures but I think I was expecting something different.

Fun tour through the historic section of Charleston. Informative start to a visit to Charleston. I had it planned as our first thing to do which is always the way to go I feel as it gives you a good base to build on. The stories that are told are fun and informative at the same time. A good alternative too for someone who can't walk the city well which that is truly the best way to see Charleston. All the horses are treated very humanely and as we were told spend most of their time in pastures rather than working so that was also nice to know.
