Overview

There is so much more awaiting you off the Charleston peninsula! Here is your opportunity to take a small group, 1/2 day tour (8 or less) in my 2021 Mercedes Sprinter. This tour has something for everyone, while we visit the most picturesque spots outside the limits in the Lowcountry. Get your dose of lighthouses, beaches, piers, forts and endless history. You will quickly understand how important the Charleston area is in American history, while taking in the ocean breeze. First, we travel to Folly Beach to visit the lighthouse, beach and pier. Next, a drive through historical Citadel Military college. Then, on to Sullivan's Island, and to stroll the grounds of Fort Moultrie, out to the beach, and the best view of Charleston from the water. Finally, the lighthouse. I am a city certified tour guide that takes you outside the limits! There are walks on this tour, and includes beach dunes. There is a 4 person minimum for this tour to operate. Please discuss mobility issues before.

Meeting points

Meet the black sprinter van at the Charleston Visitors Center, inside the bus shed. There is parking out in front of the Center, or a parking garage that adjoins the bus shed across Ann Street. 375 Meeting Street. CHS. 29403

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Morris Island Lighthouse

    We will walk a short, interesting road to the end of this island to get a beautiful vista of Charleston Harbor and the 6th oldest lighthouse in the US. The walks is 1/4 mile, and does include some beach and sand.

    30 minutes

  • Folly Beach Fishing Pier

    Once the amusement park Mecca of the 50's, Folly Pier is the focal point of this beach surf town, with many tourist activities. A souvenir and rest room stop also.

    10 minutes

  • The Citadel

    We will take a drive around this photogenic, famed military campus and stop for a few Snap! Shots.

    10 minutes

  • Fort Moultrie

    The history of the colonial United States lies at this tour stop. Thousands and thousands of imported African slaves stopped here in quarantine houses during the forced trek to North America. The first naval battle of the Revolution, the first shots of the Civil and the most tranquil beach spot in Charleston -- is all here. If time permits, we will visit the National Park visitor center.

    30 minutes

  • Sullivan's Island Lighthouse

    We will stop and see the ugliest lighthouse in the US.

Highly recommend Get Out of Town tour!

Published on Jul, 2024

Leanne was our tour guide and she was simply terrific! We did the Get Out of Town tour for a different view of the Charleston area. Leanne knew so many facts about the areas we visited and easily answered our questions. She had water available for our group and even brought us a local snack. She took several picture of our group and didn’t even have to ask. Highly recommend this tour for a different view of the Charleston area.

Great time in Charleston

Published on Jun, 2024

Our host Leanne was very gracious and arranged to pick us up at the cruise ship port. There were 6 of us and we were very comfortable in the spacious Mercedes bus. Leanne took us to several great locations as well as a small tour of the downtown area. All in all it was a great experience and would highly recommend her tour.

Fun Tour

Published on May, 2024

Leeann was a great tour guide. She was fun and knew a ton of history. One of the best tours to take.

Best tour we had!

Published on May, 2024

This was a wonderful tour! Leann was an amazing tour guide and we got to see things the normal city tours don't show you. If you're in Charleston, make sure you book this tour, you won't regret!

Wonderful day!

Published on Apr, 2024

Just the right outing for a beautiful day! Leann was fun, flexible and entertaining! The van was comfortable!
