Charleston, South Carolina is no ordinary place, and your tour of Charleston shouldn't be an ordinary tour. It should be both a history lesson and an experience, enhanced with the insights only years of study can provide. Let us give you the voice of experience.

Long before Charleston gave birth to the Civil War, this port city enjoyed wealth unprecedented in America. Charleston rice planters reigned as landed aristocrats, while Charleston shipping merchants amassed fortunes from slaves, rice, and cotton. Your tour will reveal the architectural legacy of this society and tell its story like no other tour.

Motorized tours, unlike carriage tours, have virtually unrestricted access to Charleston's Historic District. Most bus tours (minibus tours, that is because large buses aren't allowed on the narrow streets of Charleston) include The Battery area and the City Market, cover several miles of the Historic District, and show visitors many of the homes and churches for which the city is famous.

Tour Highlights:

The Battery
College of Charleston
Civil War Sites
Original Walled City
Rainbow Row
Harbor of History
Hunley Replica
Old Citadel
Cobblestone Streets
Colonial Lake
Dozens of Churches
African-American History
Earthquake Bolts
Beautiful Gardens
Hundreds of Houses
