The Best Charleston Bus Tours

city bus tour charleston sc

This post reviews and compares the various bus tour options available to you in Charleston, including prices, discounts, as well as a free option.

  • Guided Bus Tours
  • Free Trolley
  • Carriage Tours
  • Things to Do in Charleston

There are (7) companies offering bus tours of Charleston and the surrounding area: 

  • Gray Line of Charleston 
  • Adventure Sightseeing Tour

Pineapple Tour Group

Southern Accent Tours

  • Charms of Charleston  

Prices range from $20-$30 per person and each lasts approximately 90 minutes.

In addition, each company also offers trips to nearby plantations such as Magnolia Plantation and Boone Hall Plantation . 

Gullah Tours

  • Sites & Insights Tours of Charleston

Gullah Tours and Sites & Insights Tours of Charleston specialize in tours highlighting Charleston’s Gullah culture and African American history.

These tours are also slightly less expensive than those listed above, though not by a huge margin. 

All tours feature charismatic guides who share a personal connection with Charleston’s unique Gullah culture and do an excellent job of sharing their enthusiasm with visitors!

GUIDED BUS TOURS

This section covers all of the major bus tour services currently available in Charleston, including details about ticket prices, subjects covered, and the length of each outing.

Gray Line Tours ( seen in the video above ) offers 3 daily tours, in addition to several other combo tours.

Their Historic City Tour is a 1 ½ hour bus tour that covers important sites such as Charleston’s Historic Homes, the Battery Sea Wall, the Old Market Area, Rainbow Row, and many others. 

Additionally, they also offer tours of Magnolia Plantation and Boone Hall Plantation, each of which runs for approximately 4 - 4 ½ hours. 

Overall, Gray Line is very similar to companies like Adventure Sightseeing in terms of length, price, and itinerary.

Historic City Tour

  • $31/Adults | $21/Children
  • Departs daily at 10 am, 11 am, 12 pm, 12:30 pm, 1:30 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm

The Historic City Tour is included with the Charleston Tour Pass, allowing you to save a lot of money on tickets. For more details, please read our discounts section .

Gray Line receives mostly positive reviews of around 4 ½ out of 5 stars for their informative and convenient tours around Charleston and the surrounding area ( read the reviews ). 

Many note that this is a great alternative to a carriage tour in the winter, as the Gray Line buses are warm and enclosed.

Adventure Sightseeing

Adventure Sightseeing is a family-run tour company that has been operating since 1984. 

They offer a wide range of popular tours including the “See It All” City Tour, Magnolia Plantation Tour, Boone Hall Plantation Tour, and a range of combination tours. 

Charleston Rainbow Row

Most run multiple times a day, though spaces tend to fill up during the high season.

At $33.79 for the city tour and approximately $65-$85 for the half-day tours to nearby plantations, these provide excellent value for the price. 

Adventure Sightseeing can drop off guests at most hotels in the city after the tour.

“See It All” City Tour

  • $33.79/Adults | $21.80/Children
  • Duration: 1 ½ hour
  • Departs daily at 10 am, 11 am, 12:30 pm, 1:30 pm

TIP: The “See It All” City Tour is included with the Charleston Tour Pass which can be used to save money on a variety of fun activities and attractions. For more details, please read our discounts section .

Boone Hall Plantation Tour

  • $65/Adults | $34/Children
  • Duration: 4 ½ hours

Magnolia Plantation Tour 

  • $85/Adults | $50/Children

Adventure Sightseeing is the highest-rated bus tour company in Charleston. Though some guests found their buses to be too warm and stuffy, those complaints are few and far between. 

A majority of guests were very happy with their experience, writing that the guides were informative and personable. 

This company has an overall rating of 5 out of 5 stars ( read reviews here ).

Pineapple Tour Group is newer to the scene and prides itself on a “luxury” tour experience. 

Their city bus tours are offered usually 3 times a day, at 10:15 am, 1 pm, and 3:15 pm, and last 1 ½ hours. 

They also have exclusive rights to provide an all-inclusive Middleton Place experience. 

This means an all-day tour that includes lunch, round-trip transportation from downtown Charleston, and even an introductory video to get an overview of the place before you arrive.

Charleston City Bus Tour

  • $47.50/Adults | $45/Seniors | $38.25/Children

Middleton Place Tour w/ Lunch

  • $115 per person
  • Duration: 5 hours

Thus far, Pineapple Tour Group has received excellent ratings from its customers and they enjoy an overall 5 out of 5-star rating ( read reviews here ).

Guests indicate that their bus tours are fun and informative, and their guides are both knowledgeable and entertaining.

Like Gray Line and Adventure Sightseeing, Southern Accent Tours offers a similar 1 ½ hour Historic City Tour.

At $22 per adult, this is a slightly cheaper option, though only by a $1 difference. The real value of this company is its diverse selection of plantation tours. 

In addition to offering tours of Magnolia and Boone Hall Plantation, they also offer trips to McLeod Plantation, Drayton Hall Plantation, and Middleton Place, as well as a Winery, Distillery, and Tea Plantation Tour. 

However, these tours are not led by a Southern Accent Tours guide, and instead, just include transportation and the entrance fee. 

Free hotel pick-up is available 30 minutes prior to any of their tours.

Historical City Tour

  • $32/Adults | $18/Children

Purchase tickets or learn more .

Boone Hall Plantation Tour

Drayton Hall Plantation Tour 

  • $53/Adults | $29/Children
  • $53/Adults | $26/Children

Middleton Place Tour 

  • $69/Adults | $29/Children

Though reviews from a few years ago were critical of the company’s lack of organization, more recent reviews suggest that they’ve since improved tremendously as most praise Southern Accent Tours for being so punctual.

This company currently enjoys an overall average rating of 4 out of 5 stars on TripAdvisor.

Charms of Charleston

Charms of Charleston is a small tour company that offers a Historic City Tour of Charleston with the option of adding on a visit to the Aiken-Rhett House as well. 

The latter is a nice follow-up to the city tour as it brings to life some of the histories that were shared throughout the tour.

As a younger company, Charms of Charleston doesn’t attract quite as many visitors as some of the others.

However, this is perfect if you’re looking for a more intimate experience as they often cater to fewer than 10 guests!

Another bonus is that they provide free pick-up from any hotels located downtown. 

Historic City Tour 

  • $24/Adults | $15/Children
  • Departs Tuesday – Saturday at 11:15 am & 2 pm

Historic City Tour with Aiken-Rhett House  

  • $36/Adults | $18/Children

Historic City Tour + Aiken-Rhett House + Charleston Museum

  • $43/Adults | $23/Children

Despite being the smallest tour company on this list, Charms of Charleston maintains the highest rating on TripAdvisor with 5 stars.

Guests write that “this was the best tour I’ve ever been on” and “worth every dollar”.

As of Spring 2017, this company has only ever received 4 or 5-star reviews and they currently have a rating of 5 out of 5 stars on TripAdvisor.

Gullah Tours specializes in Charleston’s African American history and Gullah heritage.

As their website states, Gullah is “the language spoken by the Lowcountry’s first black inhabitants.” 

Gullah Tours aims to share that language and culture with visitors by bringing you to important historic sites such as Denmark Vesey’s home, Catfish Row, the Old Slave Mart, and the Market, the Aiken-Rhett House slave quarters, and many more. 

All tours are led by Alphonso Brown, a passionate historian and licensed tour guide who speaks Gullah fluently. 

Gullah Tours are very unique in their approach to Charleston’s history, and so we highly recommend them to those interested in learning more about Gullah’s role and influence in the city.

  • $20 per person
  • Monday – Friday 11 am and 1 pm
  • Saturday 11 am, 1 pm, and 3 pm

This is a very popular company that receives excellent reviews.

Alphonso Brown is especially highly regarded by many visitors who describe him as both charming and funny, but also hugely knowledgeable.

Currently, they have an overall rating of 4 ½ out of 5 stars on TripAdvisor.

Sites and Insights Tours

Sites and Insights Tours of Charleston is another smaller company that also specializes in African American history, like Gullah Tours. 

Their most popular tour is the Black History/Porgy & Bess Tour, which can be done in 1 or 2 hours, depending on if you would like to visit the Hanging Tree Site as well. 

This is the most affordable bus tour on the list at only $15 per adult for the 1-hour option or $20 per adult for 2 hours. 

Additionally, Sites and Insights Tours of Charleston also offer a Sea Island Tour, which is a 2-hour motorized tour that visits both James and Johns Islands. 

Stops include the Angel Oak Tree on Johns Island, Ft. Lamar Civil War Battleground, and Burn Churchyard Memorial, as well as a drive past McLeod Plantation.

Charleston Bus Tour to McLeod Plantation

Black History / Porgy & Bess Tours

  • 1-Hour Tour: $20/Adults | $15/Children
  • 2-Hour Tour: $25/Adults | $20/Children

Sea Island Tours 

  • $40/Adults | $25/Children

Reviews for this company are generally very positive. Their guides are especially well regarded and described as “personable, engaging, and funny,” as well as extremely knowledgeable.

There are a few less-than-stellar reviews, but these are uncommon and usually due to extenuating circumstances.

Overall, this company has a 4 ½ out of 5-star rating on TripAdvisor.

Tourist Passes

There are currently two bus tours included with the Charleston tour pass which you can use to save money on a variety of fun activities and attractions.

Combo Packages

If you’re only interested in a few different activities, you may want to consider a combo deal instead.

  • $71/Adults | $46/Children

Adventure Sightseeing offers a wide selection of package tours, which allow you to combine 2 different attractions at a discounted rate! 

By purchasing a package rather than 2 individual tours, you can save a lot of cash — especially if traveling as a family!

  • $80/Adults | $47.50/Children
  • $57/Adults | $34.50/Children
  • $95/Adults | $55/Children
  • $38/Adults | $22/Children

Purchase combo tickets or learn more .

Southern Accent Tours is the only company to offer a full-day tour package that incorporates their Historic City Tour, Fort Sumter Tour, and a trip to any plantation. 

At $89 per person, this is a very budget-friendly way to see as much as possible in just 1 day.

The trip can be a bit exhausting, but if you only have one day to spare, this tour will allow you to make the most of it! 

Additionally, they also offer $10 off the listed price of any of their plantation tours if combined with their Historic City Tour.

  • $89/Adults | $49/Children

Sites and Insights of Charleston Tours

Sites and Insights Tours of Charleston offers one package that incorporates an abbreviated tour of Charleston with a visit to John and James Islands to see the Burn Churchyard Cemetery and the Angel Oak Tree. 

This 2 ½ hour package tour is their best seller, and it is an extremely cheap way to do both trips.

Discount Sites

If you’re only interested in a bus tour, you might still be able to save some money by using a site such as Groupon or Living Social .

In addition to the discounts these services provide, they also frequently offer coupon codes you can use to save an extra 10% - 25% off or more.

Before you make any purchases, check the top and bottom of the page for any banners that may feature a coupon you can use to save even more money!

FREE TROLLEY

Though there are no traditional hop-on-hop-off bus tours in Charleston, they do have a free city trolley called the CARTA DASH Trolley. 

These trolleys travel through the historic part of Charleston, allowing you to see much of what you would on the other guided tours, though without any commentary. 

However, if you use our Self-Guided Tour of Historic Charleston  or one of our audio tours of Charleston during your ride, you may not even know the difference!

There are 3 different routes that the trolley takes:

  • From the College of Charleston to the Aquarium
  • Waterfront, Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon, and City Market
  • Connects Brittlebank Park and Riley Stadium to the city center

Each of these routes meets at the Visitors Center, Marion Park, and Charleston Museum. Maps are available at each of these locations.

Meet the Best of Charleston 2024

Reader’s picks.

This year, we’re kicking it old school. That’s right, it’s time yet again — Best of Charleston 2024 is here, and we’re going to party like it’s 1989.

city bus tour charleston sc

A heartfelt congratulations to all of our winners this year, from classic categories with new twists like Best Charleston (who isn’t Bill Murray or Darius Rucker) to plenty of new ones (38 new categories this year!) like Best Drag Queen, Best Locally Based Cannabis Product and Best Solar Panel Company. You’ll also notice some changes, namely the removal of our oh-so popular Politics, News and Media section, but don’t panic, its categories were moved to new homes elsewhere. 

Whether you’re skimming through to look for your next favorite restaurant or turning page-by-page, we hope you remember to thank the local businesses and community leaders that keep the Holy City special. And as always, see you next year! — Skyler Baldwin

Attractions and City Living

Charleston has no shortage of events, festivals and celebrations these days — sometimes it seems like there’s something to do every day of the week. From the Spoleto Festival and the Bridge Run to SEWE and Wine + Food, there’s something for everyone, but sometimes it can feel hard to pick which ones to mark on your calendar. That’s where we (with some help from our readers) come in, highlighting only the best of the best. Whether you’re looking to hit the farmers market (we recommend the Charleston Farmers Market) or the john (drop by The Charleston Place), we have them all in one place for your convenience. —Skyler Baldwin

Culture, Arts and Entertainment

2023 was a remarkable year for the arts in Charleston: from new pop up art galleries to theatrical debuts — organizations and individuals boldly created more opportunities for creatives to make and show work. The performing arts continue to flourish, with drag nights offered at at least a dozen venues around town, regularly-occurring improv and sketch comedy from Theatre 99 and Rip City; and music venues like Charleston Pour House and The Commodore keep bringing us live music seven nights a week. Performers at PURE Theatre, Charleston Stage, The Void and more offered us theatrical works that inspired and ignited. And in June, the International African American Museum (IAAM) officially opened to the public after over 20 years of planning. With all this in mind, artists in Charleston have lots to celebrate at this year’s Best of Charleston party. —Chloe Hogan

In the midst of Charleston’s vibrant neighborhoods, there’s a wide range of options available. Whether it’s an outdoor patio, rooftop setting or cozy corner seats at the bar — discovering the perfect spot for any drinking occasion is a walk in the park. Craving a cold glass of beer? Edmund’s Oast (Best Beer Selection on Tap) has just the fix. Prefer wine? Head to Avondale Cheese & Wine (Best Wine Bar/ Wine Selection). Searching for a night-cap? Look no further than The Royal American (Best Late Night Bar). With endless options, it can be overwhelming to decide where to go. However, a list of City Paper readers’ top-rated spots can help guide you in the right direction. – Blakelyn Faia

A foodie town through and through, Charleston is home to a wide variety of cuisine, from good old-fashioned Southern eats to inventive international fare — and experiences that range from fine-dining establishments to hole-in-the wall gems. Whether you’re on the hunt for the best sandwich in town (here’s looking at you, Five Loaves Cafe) or a really nice steak (we see you, Halls), this city has got you covered. Our favorite thing about dining in Charleston right now is how expansive and abundant good food is in area suburbs. You no longer need to stick downtown for a nice night out. Head to Jackrabbit Filly (Best North Charleston Restaurant), Laura (Best Summerville Restaurant) or The Glass Onion (Best West Ashley Restaurant) to see what we mean. Happy eating folks. — Connelly Hardaway

Charleston City Paper readers voted in more than 50 categories this year to determine Charleston’s best in health and beauty. We’ve compiled a list with winners in services of the self care variety — from day spas, facialists and nail artists — to the best in the city for essential healthcare — like OBGYN services and where to give birth. Whether you’re considering a new workout session at one of the best local gyms, yoga or pilates studios; or perhaps you’re looking to get a new piercing or tattoo, these local winners can cater to all your self-care needs. – Chloe Hogan
