We enjoyed a lovely, relaxing 90 minute tour of Charleston Harbor. The Captain was entertaining and besides all of the wonderful history, he offered a few trivia questions to keep us on our toes. We especially liked the way the chairs in the below deck were facing the huge window, so we didn't miss any photo opportunities.

This is about the 3rd or 4th time we have taken a tour in Charleston by different means. This tour was the best of any due to the excellent narrative by Shawn. We were so impressed by his unbelievable memory of dates and names and the running commentary for nearly and hour and a half. Shawn was very pleasant, friendly and funny too. The bus was comfortable and cool, much better than riding in a horse-driven carriage in the heat with flies. Also I believe we covered more miles than the horse and carriage did.

A great way to tour Charleston and see many things you would not have known about or thought about visiting. The tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend the tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed our bus tour with Shawn as our guide. He is knowledgeable & oh so amusing. We only have a day & a half in the Holy City & we felt we learned so much from this trip. We understand so much about the houses, neighborhoods, churches & history of this fantastic 8 mile square peninsula from hopping on this comfy air conditioned bus. We are older & could never have gotten to all these unbelievable & lovely places on our own in such a short amount of time. If you want more than seafood & bars, please, take this tour. Totally worth every penny.

Took advantage of the ability to tour the Magnolia Plantation without having a car to get us there. Alan was our tour guide. He's one of the better tour guides we had during our visit. Very knowledgeable and to-the-point. The tour itself was well-organized. I only wish we would have had more time to actually grab a bite to eat and walk the grounds.

LOVED the tour! Our guide, Alan, was very knowledgeable and you can tell he really loves history/his job. It was worth it, especially since the weather wasn’t great-it was an awesome way to see more of Charleston while staying out of the rain! His stories and explanations were great, I would definitely recommend this tour when visiting Charleston! Thanks so much Alan!

My family and I took this tour and had a wonderful time. We learned so much about the city of Charleston history important sites around town. We would highly recommend it to anyone that wants to learn more about the town.

Visiting Boone Hall Plantation allowed us to enjoy a beautiful day outside, see places some of our favorite movies were filmed, and take a trip back in time. The best part of our visit was the agricultural tour of the farm, a must do! Booking through Adventure Sightseeing was simple and they even transported us from our hotel to the plantation and back!
