We had great weather which added to the enjoyment. The city tour guide was very knowledgeable about Charleston history and all the various buildings we drove past. We do the boat harbor tour at least once per year and it is always relaxing and enjoyable. The narrator did a good job of describing the sights and the history of the city.

The day started with an excellent tour of Charleston via bus. The guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and did a great job presenting the information. The second part of the tour was a tour of the bay by boat, and it was just as excellent. Again, the tour guide did an awesome job. I would highly recommend these tours. It made for a great day!
