With its storied buildings and charming side alleys that beckon to be explored, the Holy City easily ranks as one of the most walkable cities among top travel guides. Of course, covering 350 years of history along cobblestoned streets can feel daunting, especially when the weather isn’t so welcoming.Â
Cue the mini bus tour! Aboard a compact, climate-controlled vehicle, passengers journey into the Peninsula’s colorful past with engaging tales from licensed guides. The popular 90-minute historic city tours depart from the Charleston Visitor Center and cruise along Rainbow Row and the Battery, through the Old Market and The Citadel, and past centuries-old churches and homes. And if you’re looking to venture further, these operators also provide transportation to plantations, historical landmarks, and other notable sites beyond Charleston proper.Â
There are two main tour companies available to choose from, each offering a comprehensive view of the city’s highlights. Both companies feature a city overview tour, and go to the plantations and major points of interest. Additionally, guests can combine various tours, including carriage rides, harbor excursions, and guided walking tours. For added convenience, Adventure Sightseeing Tours extends hotel pick-up services.
