I took this bus tour with my mom as apart of my 25th b-day trip to Charleston. BT was an awesome tour guide who was born and raised in the city himself! I learned so many fun facts about Charleston and was able to grasp it’s deep history & current culture. And If you don’t really know that much about Charleston, than this tour is a must! Because this experience made me realize how iconic this city truly is! :) My mother has problems with her knee so I love how we were able to hit up all of these tourist attractions without having to do strenuous walk throughout the city. Also, the large windows still allow you to take some fantastic pictures! So no need to worry! Keep in mind that there are 3 different tour bus companies at the same location, so look to see who who your’e booked with. I was late trying to figure that out. The tour guide did give a courtesy call, but I accidentally had my phone volume turned down. So I ended up missing my original booking at 11am, but they were kind enough to schedule me in for the next tour at 1:30pm. But had I checked the ticket that was sent to my email, I would’ve seen that I was scheduled with Adventure Sightseeing. So avoid doing what I did. lol Another thing to keep in mind is if that your’e in a bus. Therefore you’re in close proximity to others, so I’d keep that in mind if social distancing is a priority to you. While my mom and I are vaccinated, we still wore a mask just to be on the safe side (although it was not a requirement). Also, there are ceiling fans in the bus. But if you’re the type of person who gets overheated easily or if you’re just traveling in hot weather, I’d recommend bringing a personal fan as well (which is what I did). Overall, it was a 10/10 experience

This is a great way to get a good idea of what you’d like to see at the start of your time in Savannah. Tour guides…especially Net and Tom. Net added humor to tour and it was delightful!!
