As a hostess I was embarrassed. I booked the "Historic City Tour and Live Narrated Harbor Cruise" (approximately $160) for my husband and myself and an out of town couple for their first visit to Charleston. It was not that there was a bad experience with a rude employee or anything that was difficult to navigate, just that it was not at all what I expected based on how the tour was advertised. I learned more from the website description of the sites of interest that would be included than I did on the tour! I intentionally booked a driving/sailing tour because my older guests have limited mobility/stamina. The description of the tours looked like a perfect way to show off our beautiful city in air conditioned comfort. It wasn't. The driver for the city tour drove entirely too fast to find, let alone appreciate anything he pointed out. The roof of the bus made it impossible to see the full height of the homes and buildings we were supposed to be seeing so when the guide was talking about architecture and roofs and tall trees we were so close to them there was no way to even see what he was talking about. It didn't help that he was bored to death with the presentation himself and he repeated himself frequently. The spiel was so canned that the driver was pointing out spring blooms in October. (So...what am I looking at, a green bush that looks like the last green bush he pointed out?) There wasn't any real knowledge imparted, just some canned dates and a little trivia but not much information. It was more of an advertisement for a walking tour if you wanted to really see anything or for an additional fee if you wanted any real information of the historic houses. Walking tours weren't an option for my guests and after the bust with the driving tour I wasn't willing to risk more money for additional disappointment with this company. The harbor tour narration was almost identical to the driving tour. I even heard a man at a table behind us on the boat (who was apparently on a different bus than we were for the driving tour) say that the narration was exactly what he'd just heard on the driving tour. We didn't get close enough to any of the points of interest the narrator was identifying so basically all we did was make a loop around the middle of the harbor with the items of interest at a huge distance, some on the horizon. Annoyingly, when we got close to the Yorktown, the impressive carrier was on the starboard but the narrator was talking about items on the port side! Then, when he did talk about the Yorktown he basically said "there's a destroyer behind the ship but you can't really see it now" because we were already past it. When I have guests in the future I will have to find another way to show them our lovely city with its rich, colorful history, Gray Line failed terribly. Wasted time and money.

We found Roy to be rude and unaccommodating. I would not suggest this tour

We had an excellent experience with this company. Rick the owner even picked us up in his personal vehicle when we went to the wrong location to get the bus. Great people from the owner to to bus driver (Susan). Well worth the time and expense.

Forget the horse carriages! They are hot and you never know where you are going with the route lottery! Gray Line was great! Got all kinds of information from a great guide. The bus was more comfortable and it was AIR CONDITIONED! Good people.
