On our first trip to Charleston we had only a very limited time to explore so we did a very generic city tour which gave us an overview of the area. This time we obviously wanted something more specific. We found Mr. Miller's company on Yelp and decided to book the 2.5 hour Charleston Black History, Gullah Geechee and Porgy & Bess, Sea Island Tour. We found it to be very thorough and informative. Mr. Miller also made it quite interactive. He is very personable and so very knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend!

I need to go on the tour again so my brain can retain some of my new-found historical facts. Thank you, Charms of Charleston, for a memorable day.

Because we were back in Charleston again for Christmas this year, we decided to do it again with the same group, expecting a similar experience. Unfortunately, this year was a major disappointment. Our two guides seemed uninterested and disengaged, which really affected the overall experience. There was very little singing or holiday spirit, and it felt like they were just going through the motions. Given the cost, it felt like a waste of money. We will definitely return to Charleston in the future, but we would not do this sleigh ride again.

Our…read moredriver, Jared, was absolutely wonderful--he has such a great personality and was incredibly engaging throughout the ride. We chose to do the full loop first so we could hear Jared's complete narration before hopping off to explore. It was the perfect decision! He shared fascinating details about Savannah's rich history, along with some lesser-known fun facts that really brought the city to life. The tour sparked our excitement to visit spots we might have overlooked otherwise. The hop-on hop-off format worked brilliantly for us. Buses arrived quickly at each stop--we rarely waited long--and the stops are conveniently located near all the main tourist attractions. It got a bit crowded toward the end of the day (around 5 p.m.), and we occasionally had to wait for the next bus, but overall, it was seamless and stress-free. One small suggestion: I wish the tours ran a little later than 5 p.m. It would be ideal for avoiding parking hassles and enjoying dinner downtown--there are so many delicious restaurants to try! We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting an easy, informative, and enjoyable way to see Savannah. Thanks to Jared for making it memorable!

But guide Alphonso Brown had other plans. And that's okay. The two hour tour is totally on the bus. There is no getting off and you're driving around town. It's not all Gullah based. You learn more about Black/African American history overall. But Alphonso is the real gem/lesson here. Alphonso speaks Gullah and he will teach you some too. And even when he is speaking "normally," or in "English," he still has a dialect that is musical and enthralling. For all those complaining about having to work so hard to follow him--get over it! It's LITERALLY the BEST part of this tour! You toddle around town in an air conditioned bus, listening to history, fun stories, and seeing a ton of Charleston architecture (including numbers Philip Simmons gates). Alphonso will tell you where to go, where not to go, what to do, what not to do. He does not mince words. I asked about renowned hero Robert Smalls and he told me Robert Smalls was no hero! He also said George Washington had children (and I've been taught the opposite of that my whole life, so I'm off go down rabbit holes). I loved listening to Mr. Brown's lyrical dialect. Learning about his culture. Learning about Charleston. It was like having a chauffeur take you around to parts of town you wouldn't have thought about visiting. He was fun, energetic. And yes, I bought his book at the gift shop (all bus tours leave from the visitors center), and I had him sign it! This is a unique experience you won't get anywhere else. Thank you to the amazing Alphonso Brown.

What set this apart from just Uber-ing and paying for our own admission was convenience. The tour shuttle picked us up from the Charleston Visitor Center (worth a trip on its own) and returned us to downtown Charleston at the top of the market. The shuttle driver gave charming fun facts about Charleston on the drive there and back and provided priceless tips for how to make the most of our time on the Plantation. The other thing that I will always be grateful for is that we missed our first tour time waiting for an Uber downtown to take us to the Visitor Center. The booking office charged us nothing to rebook for another day and time and didn't give me grief at all. To me, this is going above and beyond on hospitality and service you cannot buy. A wonderful company to tour with!

Will not choose Adventure Sightseeing again.
