Pros: The tour guide tried to make things interesting (and funny sometimes). She was jovial and better than some that we have had in Charleston before. The bus was air-conditioned and comfortable. Cons: The tour guide tried to over-compensate on her tour talk re: the slaves/Gullah piece of history. Horrible, yes, but also a very real part of Charleston's history, and she just tried too hard with her obvious feelings to smooth that over, if you will. Also, the tour activity's description did not state that we would be dropped off at the house at the very end of tour, which would be quite a distance from our tour starting point, i.e. more difficult to get back to the vehicle on our own. Yes, there are the 211 buses/other ways to get back w/o walking all that way, but we were not prepared for that, and we had two disabled people in our party. Should have been better description re: that piece of the tour before purchase.

There were 8 of us in our party. A girls weekend. The combo tour was our last activity before departing Charleston. The bus tour was nice, however our guide was very monitone and to be honest, I didnt catch much of the information. The sights were beautiful and well worth the time. The Mansion was beautiful. The grounds delightful. I would reccomend it to friends. The history is incredible.
