Benji was a great tour director. When going to purchase tickets, the advertised combo, city tour and Fort Sumter was not available. we were told to get a ticket for the city tour and would be dropped off at Fort Sumter, pay for that tour, get picked back up and get dropped off at the Market. We waited a hour to get picked up and no one showed up. I called Adventure Sightseeing and was told the driver was stuck in traffic due to a accident and could not tell us when we would be picked up but we could take the 211 or 210 bus. The 210 bus showed up 3 times but never the 211. the bus driver told us we had to take the 210 bus to the visitor center then catch the 211 to the Market which we finally did. We wasted a lot of time waiting for nothing. Also, when booking the tour we were quoted $23 and could get a senior/AAA discount but the receipt did not reflect this discount.

Thank you for taking our City Tour and for taking time to write a review. We're glad you enjoyed the City Tour. We actually don't offer a senior or AAA rate on our tours so we apologize if you misunderstood. We also don't have a Fort Sumter Tour combo per se, but we do offer a discount if you take our tour and the Fort Sumter Tour. We certainly are able to drop off at the monument building for your Fort Tour, but typically do not offer transportation after as there is a free shuttle run by the City right there. The shuttle is called the DASH and goes the Visitors Center and The Market. On certain occasions, we can offer pick after the fort tour, but that must be prearranged with our office and shuttle driver. Unfortunately, Fort Sumter Tours does not give us tickets to sell and guests must purchase them directly. We apologize if there was any confusion or miscommunication on our part. We hope to see you another time.

I took my wife to the south to experience the sights for her Birthday week. During this time, we took advantage of Adventure Sightseeing to get an overview of the city and WOW! I was astounded at the demeanor and knowledge of the tourguide Bill. He shared with us all that he has been born and raised in Charleston and he knew so much about the city and it's historical background that we were filled with information by the end of the tour. He was very pleasant and answered any and all questions without hesitation. I would highly recommend this company and - if given the choice - as for Bill. His sense of humor and overall knowledge of the history and layout of the city is phenomenal.

So glad we chose this tour on the bus as opposed to the horse drawn buggies. It was extremely hot and humid in Charleston and the air conditioning was much needed. The tour was very informative and we covered a lot of Charleston. Only drawback was that it was difficult to understand our guide at times.
