Company does not follow through with what is promised or "gifted". I would steer clear of them it's a waste of time.

Ask the Community - Great Vacations Charleston

Did anyone have buyers remorse and were able to get their money back?

Yes, definitely. Unable to deliver what they promised. Tried unsuccessfully to get a refund with the help of the South Carolina Dept of Consumer Affairs. Let me know if you are more successful. Total scam operation.

I have been using Vacation Inspirations for virtually all of my vacations since 2018. The service…read moreI have received has been nothing short of fabulous by the staff at Vacations Inspirations. I have dealt with several staff specialists and everyone of them has always exceeded my expectations. Earlier this summer through Vacations Inspirations we booked a wonderful Viking cruise from Bergen, Norway to Stockholm, Sweden. It was a phenomenal 2 week cruise through Scandinavia. We have had the extreme pleasure of having Judy Simonson as our personal travel agent for the past several years and what great job she has done for us. We have booked cruises and land vacations with Judy and she always delivers all the pieces to fulfill our dream vacations. I cannot recommend Vacation Inspirations and Judy Simonson high enough for all they have done for us over the years. I think back to 2018 in Charleston, SC when I had my first contact with Vacation Inspirations and now realize how lucky a day it was for me. Through the years we have traveled to Europe several times, taken several River Cruises, several Ocean Cruises and even Rail Tours with the assistance of Vacation Inspirations and really enjoyed everyone of them without having any problems. Thank you to the whole staff at Vacation Inspirations

Not worth the investment. First booking Puerto Vallarta, 2 properties were more than what I could…read moreof done and the third property was a saving of $145, but they booked through Expedia which the property offered free transfer from airport if they booked directly with the resort. Because it went through Expedia we had to an extra $80, so saving was only $65. Next booking South Padre Island Texas was more money than what I could of done. The car rental was $5 saving from what I could booked. Spending 3-7k not worth the saving. Filled out online form twice and never got a response. When I finally called had to leave a message. Cheryl called back later that day and was helpful and friendly.

Our reservation was originally at 4pm but we were in the area early and asked if there was room on…read morean earlier ride. Yep, and no problem switching. Our guide was great. (He had red hair but I can't remember his name). He was entertaining with a few jokes here and there and very knowledgeable about the area. He answered questions along the way. It's interesting how the city manages the tours. We rode to a city station and they gave us a card which indicated which area we had to take. Each guide has some freedom in which route they take through the designated area. All of this means is that you could take the tour multiple times and see different things each time. You don't get a choice in where you sit but our group of two got the front seats. Great for unobstructed views but not so good when your nose fills with a whiff of what's in the horse diaper. Traffic and the carriage rides seem to get along well. The horses are well tended to and are rotated from the stables to pasture on a regular basis. We thank Cliff our horse for a fun smooth ride.

I'm happy to say I'm bumping my review up from three stars to four after giving Old South Carriage…read moreCompany another chance. During my first visit to Charleston a few years ago, I took one of their daytime carriage tours and left feeling... underwhelmed. I didn't learn all that much, the tour wasn't especially memorable, and I wrote that I'd rather have explored the city on foot. Fast forward to my most recent visit when one of my friends wanted to do the Haunted Carriage Tour. Since it was something different, I happily went along and I'm glad I did. Our horse, Ron, was a 2,000 pound French Percheron and wow.... talk about a workhorse! From what I observed, the horses seemed well cared for despite the small stable. It was fun learning a little about Ron before we set off. Our guide, Matt, was informative, engaging, and did a great job mixing Charleston history with the haunted stories. While I'm not really into ghost tours, I still learned quite a bit. In fact, my favorite takeaway wasn't haunted at all - it was learning the difference between a graveyard and a cemetery. This tour also had a digital component as we were prompted to scan the QR code to see photos of the individuals/"ghosts" he was talking about. The tour also gave us another opportunity to see Charleston from a different perspective and this time around I enjoyed riding through the historic streets by carriage. Overall, this experience was much more enjoyable than my first. The company clearly has these tours down to a science and if you're deciding between a daytime tour and the haunted evening tour, I'd surprisingly recommend the latter. I'm glad I gave Old South another chance.

As part of our stay, I selected a private carriage ride, which was provided through Palmetto Carriage Works. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and efficient. They quickly handled a large group ahead of us and made sure we were on our way without much of a wait. When it was our turn, we met our driver, Brian, and he absolutely made the experience. He quickly picked up on how much we already knew about Charleston and tailored the tour accordingly. He seemed to have an endless supply of stories, history, and interesting details, and he kept us entertained throughout the entire ride. We laughed, talked, and genuinely enjoyed every minute of it. Brian was knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly engaging. I cannot recommend him or Palmetto Carriage Works highly enough. It was a wonderful part of our anniversary trip and an experience we will remember for a long time.
