Genuinely Horrible. Not to discourage our tour guide, but…read morewe did the Hidden Gems walking tour. Our tour guide, Marc, obviously just liked to hear himself talk. It was boring, way too long, and not a single "joke" was funny. It lasted about a half an hour longer than it should have. Two hours was an hour and a half too long already. If you like sweating, getting bit by bugs (due to the alley ways) and dying of heat stroke all while it feels like you're back in high school with your least favorite teacher giving a lecture, being told "stand here" "take a picture now" "no move over there" then this is the place for you! Complete waste of money. We're all disappointed. I hate leaving bad reviews, truly I hate bashing someone's passion or career, but I just wanted to warn you all.

My family visited Charleston on Mother's Day and saw this beautiful horse hitched to a large wagon…read more I asked the driver questions about the tour and the horses and she was quite pleasant. However the "gentleman" sitting next to the wagon interrupted us and yelled at me "I don't care what they do where you're from! We don't let the horses have treats until the end of the day." I was upset by his rudeness and told him I was disappointed in his lack of hospitality. I took a picture of the horse Amigo before this conversation. When I went to delete the picture and erase my memory of this unpleasant event, I noticed the horse has an untreated sore on his nose. This has me further concerned about this business. Not a good look for Charleston. I recommend giving this business a wide berth.

However, it was so much fun! It was just us and Emmaline, our tour guide. Emmaline was such a kind, sweet and fun young lady. Glad we had her. She took us to several shops along King Street, and wow did we shop;) I cannot recommend this tour enough!!!

We visited Charleston this weekend for a bachelorette party and had stumbled across this suggestion…read moresomewhere online. The concept is great; get a guided tour of the best little shops on King Street while sipping champagne...perfect right? Well, it started out pretty great w kickoff at The Restoration...gorgeous building w cute little boutiques filled w all kinds of local goodies. We were offered two cups of champagne (yes, little plastic cups) and then we began the rest of our tour. Next on the route was Kendra Scott, which was disappointing because this is not a Charleston specific shop but it was still nice to browse. Unfortunately the drink on this spot was a 1/3 cup of Truly, berry flavored. Not great. Then we moved onto Savannah Bee which again isn't local to Charleston but it was AWESOME. Best stop on the tour, the girl working was fantastic and sampling the mead was so much fun. Next we went to a little boutique whose name I don't recall and while it was very specific to Charleston, it was not our style. There, we were offered bottles of water. Last on the stop was a place called V2V and we got bad vibes from the owner, even being told we couldn't hang out long because the owner gets overwhelmed w the people on the tours. There we were offered a 1/3 cup of wine. All in all, I felt like it was not a great deal for the money ($45). The advertisements made it seem like we would have a lot of drinks on the route and I definitely don't feel like we got $45 of drinks or historical information, especially when we collectively tipped about $75...not worth $500ish, for sure l. Would definitely recommend just buying your own drinks and wandering around downtown to all the shops that draw your eye!

This company runs ferry services with tours of Bull's Island and St. Phillips Island, which I've…read morereviewed separately. Those are great. The company also run various canoe and kayak tours, which have been a bit of a nightmare for me. The Lowcountry wetlands are fantastic and demand to be experienced close up, and many of the tour options sound great. They run quite infrequently, and even when offered, have been unreliable in my experience. To some extent, this can be attributed to weather and varying demand, which is a hassle but is part of the business. Wisely, they don't actually charge you money until you are actually at your tour doing stuff. However, I haven't forgiven them for the one time I made an online reservation at the last minute only to drive to a site at 6 AM and find the tour was canceled, with no one around to answer the phone and an active listing still on their website. They were apologetic, but didn't really do much for me. When tours are unavailable, I keep getting calls asking me to reschedule for another day, which strikes me as tone-deaf. There may be a market of people who hang around waiting for a midweek spot to open up, but I would think that many of us are tourists who aren't there for very long (I'm rarely in Charleston for more than 48 hours, and it takes a lot for me to get there at all), and even the locals I assume must have jobs. If I scheduled for X day, I probably want to do something on X day. What's also irritating is that their website, while flashy, doesn't have a calendar. You have to search through a dozen infrequently offered niche tours to see if you can find something that's available when you're available rather than just seeing what is launching on the day that you're around and free. They really don't seem to get my needs in that regard. When I finally, after frankly a year of trying, found a kayak tour that actually fit my schedule, it was beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, and some hard work. Wildlife abounds, and my trip through the Kiawah River area yielded sightings - albeit sometimes fleeting ones - of everything from a roseate spoonbill to a dolphin trapping fish against an oyster bar. The people running the tours and the equipment are good enough, and while these things aren't cheap I still leave a tip. The scenery delivers, but this tour company hasn't always met my expectations. I'm just not aware of anyone else that gives you the same chance to see this particular environment.
