We needed a tour by bus that did not require getting on and off. We wanted something that would give us a lot of Charleston History. This tour with Shawn Matticks as our guide exceeded our expectations! Shawn has been a tour guide in Charleston for over 30 years and his knowledge of the area is wonderful. He does not waste any time at all during the tour....he is educating you as to the history of the area for the entire 90 minuets. If you are looking for a tour that truly gives you more than you paid for, book this city tour and make sure Shawn is your guide.

We had a great experience with Shawn. He was knowledgeable and witty. The ride was comfortable and just long enough. The price was right and as first-timers to Charleston the tour provided historical significance and an overall basic knowledge for us. Definitely recommend it as an initial overview of the downtown area.

Had an excellent tour of the city, learning about the history and points of interest. Shawn has an in-depth knowledge of the city and provided a running commentary that was both informative and entertaining.
