We are a senior couple, experienced travelers, who needed some guidance in planning a two week…read moretrip to Charleston Beaufort and Savannah in June 2026. As this was our first trip to the part of the USA we wanted to experience the South as visitors not rushed as tourists. After finding Kevin we knew we had found the right person to plan this visit based upon travel style. KEVIN EXCEEDED OUT EXPECTATIONS IN THIS REGARD. What I particularly liked was that in the planning stage Kevin provided pre-selected recommendations for Hotels, tour guides and dining. This allowed us to take the time to review his recommendations on line and select those that best fit our travel style. Although budget was not a constraint for this trip Kevin's recommendations were balanced including both private and very small group tours and fine dining plus the hidden places only a local would know for a true taste of the South. Although Kevin laid out the plan we still felt it was "our" trip because of the ability to choose among great options. Kevin plans allow for you a to customize your trip while still having the benefit of an experienced planner. Our tour guides ranged from very very good to TRULY EXCEPTIONAL. We avoided touristy places and had unique experiences that self-internet planner would unlikely ever find.One of the Kevin's strengths was sequencing the order of our tours in both Charleston and Savannah so that one experience built on the other something I could never have done on my own. Every tour guide was on time and never once did we wait to be seated in the restaurants he reserved for us. Kevin provides you with a detailed itinerary down to recommended entrée selections at the restaurants that have been reserved. I'd like to comment on Kevin in trip follow up to questions but I can't. Because of the excellence of the itinerary provided down to how early to leave for activities due to driving times, we never had any need for follow up during the two weeks of out travel. So the question boils down to due you want to have nice trip that you or an out of town travel agent planned on the internet or do you want to experience an EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOM TRAVEL EXPERIENCE. If it's the latter I can't imagine a better choice that Kevin for Charleston Beaufort and Savannah.

Our group of 3 had a main focus on the history of Charleston and Savannah and Kevin delivered. But he knew that we would also need a break and worked in tours that highlighted the charm and feel for each city including a late night stroll with him. His restaurant bookings were so helpful when you travel, finding good places to eat that have a table can be very challenging. To not have to think about where I'm going each night was a blessing. I can't recommend enough having him plan your visit to what you love to do most when you travel.

Use your common sense. We were given the example of a "customer" being quoted $17,000 for a fancy cruise, but these guys were able to get it for $10,000 and change. I did the math, and the $10,000 they quoted, plus the $6995 for the membership (payaple the day you hear their spiel BTW), plus the $399 "doc fee," plus the $199 dues, and guess what that cruise costs? Yep, $17,000+. Maybe you'll use them for another trip, and that'd drop the overall expense, but you'd have to travel a LOT to offset that $6995. Don't even waste your time with these guys. Yes, they'll give you free tickets for the Charleston bus tour, but it really isn't that great. They also promised to pay for our parking in the garage behind their office, but oops-- they didn't. There's $20 down the drain. Save that precious time on your vacation and skip the whole experience with these guys. Like timeshares, this isn't as good a deal as they make it out to be.

Interesting business model. Here's the down and dirty: The 'pitch' to get prospective buyers in the…read moredoor was the company's 'anniversary' and them giving out special gifts. Promised? A voucher for ANY type of carriage or bus tour, a voucher for a second tour, and a voucher for $75 to be used at any - ANY restaurant. The guy pitching put all emphasis on what we might do, where we might go, very little about the last little bit - we needed to return next AM, hear a talk, to receive our gifts. This was so fast, so slick, that while my partner was in the bathroom (which was why we stopped in), I didn't realize this would be a sales pitch. Needed to leave $20 which we could pick up next day. Talk would take ~ 50 minutes. Okay, game for that. At minimum, we could just pick up the $20 and go our way. My partner used to do this type thing, so we knew it was about sitting through a sales pitch & getting some stuff. $75 voucher for a meal? Okay. Plus entertainment value, if the presentation was good. Ugh! Very stiff, tired, memorized presentation. Jokes? Really? If you need to say 'that was a joke', it isn't. Weird interjections, promises, and a great 'membership' for...wait for it - $6000. No need to to into details, we escaped after the 1hour 15 minute pitch. Gifts? A $75 check from Bank of America Acct, 2 vouchers, as promised. The 'tour' voucher was good for 1 company, and one only. Not a carriage tour, but a bus. Not from the Market, as promised, where all the horse drawn carriage tours depart, but a company several blocks away, bus only. Since the Better Biz Bureau gives them a 'F' rating (read the complaints), we figured better cash that check ASAP. $8 bank fee at BOA if you don't have Acct or credit card. We did, another couple did not. So, we got the 'gifts', but without calling the other carriage companies to see if they took the voucher, we would have been turned away, believing it was good for any - as promised. So, go for the gifts if you don't mind using 1.5 hours of vacation time, and don't sign anything. Check out BBB reviews, and check the other Yelp reviews- that are from folks who either work there or are related. Those reviewers? That don't review anything else! Interesting. YMMV.

However, after doing it so much for work, I now just want to go places and not have to plan everything! The thing I love about Charleston Travel Plans is that they do all of the research and have visited these places in the Charleston area themselves. So, I don't have to worry about looking up a restaurant and if all of their hyped up reviews are because they are all friends of the owners or a negative review just being competitors. I told them what kind of meal and experience we wanted, and they gave us the perfect suggestions. They also gave us an itinerary, so we saw the best of Charleston, but we also had time to explore a little. We didn't have to waste a bunch of time researching. It was such a huge time saver! So worth the money, I wish Julie was in every city I visit because I feel like she really cared about us having the best experiences with what we could afford and wasn't trying to promote things like an affiliate would. I think she just really loves Charleston and wants those who visit to love it too! I highly recommend her services!!!
