So my mother and I had a chance to take this tour on this past Thursday. We left promptly at 7:00am to head out on the bus. Our driver Harold was definitely time-conscious on every stop, but he was a great driver and very professional. We went on the perfect day, beautiful weather which added to the trip. When we arrived in Charleston and were picked up by the horse carriages, it was amazing to take a tour of the city landmarks and our tour guide Glen was so knowledgeable. We felt a little rushed however during the city market shopping time allowance (45 mins), because you really need more time to browse definitely. You have to be careful to get back on the bus quickly because the driver will pull off, somewhat nerve-wrecking. We then were taken to the boat cruise for lunch, which was a disappointment. I mean cold sandwiches with no chips, which I had to purchase? It would have been nice to either allow the tourists to go to a restaurant in the city market where lunch could have been set up for us as a group, or at least provide a hot meal after the long ride and multiple stops. I was really surprised at how crowded the boat was, there was literally no room for any of us at the top, had to go to the bottom sitting area. It was a very nice trip overall, lots of history and a full day. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting this area with just a few changes/tweaks along the way.
