Excellent Charleston private tour
Published on Oct, 2024
An excellent 7 hour private tour. Jon was very knowledgeable and great company. We packed a lot into the 7 hours. Jon was really knowledgeable on the historic houses with plenty of background knowledge. The visit to a plantation was the highlight. We went to Boone Hall but you can choose. Being a private tour you can do as little or as much as you want. Thoroughly recommend.
