We loved the Trip from Myrtle Beach to Charleston. The only thing I wish is that I would have had more time at the Boone Plantation. I could not get everything done there and that was one of my favorite parts of the trip. Maybe come back a little later in the day would enable the travelers to have more time there. I also enjoyed the carriage ride. I would like that to be a little longer too, but I realize it can't all be extended. It was well worth the money.

We originally planned to go to Charleston for 4 nights as several reviews said it's the best vacation spot in the country but family wanted more beach so decided to do trip to Myrtle Beach. On doing research on Myrtle, found this day trip to Charleston and jumped on it . The 3 things offered on this trip where the same things we were going to do if we had planned to go to Charleston. The bus ride down and back was very good, nice driver and informative. The Carriage ride driver was excellent but the area we toured did not give us a very good feel of Charleston at all, not the sightseeing we thought we were going to have. We also had to cram 4 people on each seat, very uncomfortable. We then had maybe 40 minutes in the market place and didn't have nearly enough time to shop or see anything and also there was not very specific instruction of where the bus was going to be so almost didn't make it back. Good thing I called the phone to get the exact address. We then went on the boat ride and was promised a lunch that had chips but none of the boxes had chips so had to ask the deck person and did make accommodations, lunch was ok but certainly nothing to write home about. The narrator was quite dry and seemed like he was reading it. We then went to the plantation and if it wasn't so hot it would have been a great time because we had a bit more free time to look around. Ride back was just fine. Overall, I would cut out one of the destinations. I would also do the carriage ride more south of the area to see more tourist type destinations, like the shopping areas, museums, waterfront etc. Plantation definitely I would keep. It was nice to see Charleston but way too hurried to really get any flavor of the down town area.

Thank you for taking the Charleston Adventures Day Trip to Charleston and for taking the time to leave your feedback. The carriage tours cannot decide where they are going to tour. They are on a lottery system mandated by the City of Charleston and are given a route at the time of each tour so as not to congest one area. All routes are in the historic district. The bus picks up in the exact same location as it drops you off. In fact, the driver never moves after dropping guests off for the carriage ride and the carriages make special trips to come pick up guests from the bus directly and drops off closer the market so guests have more time to shop/browse. This tour is meant to give you an overview of Charleston and ideas on what you may want to come back and visit for longer. Our lunches do not include chips, but a healthier fruit cup option. We do have chips and other snacks available for sale on the harbor tour boat. Unfortunately, we can't control the heat, but it can be quite hot in Charleston in the summer.

I have been to Charleston over 10 times but decided to take this tour with friends to avoid the long drive and parking issues. I thought the tour was well planned and covered a variety of sights that made the trip very interesting. The lunch and harbor tour provided a nice break from the hot and humid day. I personally thought the highlight of the tour was the carriage ride and the tour guide Monica was OUTSTANDING. The only negative thing about the tour was the return ride from Boone Plantation. We waited an extra 35 minutes because the driver didn't correctly count the passengers. We waited for 5 missing passengers that were not missing. I realize that the bus driver is not a tour guide but he should be able to count heads. Other than this little miscue the trip was outstanding and I highly recommend it.
