No other tours captures the Complete Charleston experience like this one. You can't find a day tour that offers so much!

Spend the day with me on this small tour (limited to 8 people) and learn what makes the Charleston Lowcountry so historical, controversial and beautiful, all in the comfort of my 2021 Mercedes Sprinter. I am a city certified tour guide that takes you outside the limits.

Stroll down Charlotte Street. Gaze upon the prolific Morris Island Lighthouse. Shag down Folly Beach Pier. Behold the Angel Oak Tree. Contemplate Drayton Hall. Magnolia Plantation and Old St Andrew's Church. Salute Citadel College. Learn of Sullivan's Island notorious past. March around Fort Moultrie. Visit Charleston Lighthouse. See the USS Yorktown. Cruise across Charleston harbor on the Water Taxi.

This is an active tour (8000 total steps!) with several walks during the day. We will stop for a quick lunch to-go or bring your own.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Charlotte Street Park
Stroll this quiet antebellum street of Wragg district, where so much happened, and so little realize it.
2. The Citadel
This military college dates back to the civil war. Some say, they even started it!
3. Morris Island Lighthouse
Travel to the end of Folly Beach to get an upclose and personal with the 6th oldest lighthouse in the US. This includes a 1/4 mile walk to the lighthouse, with a little bit of sand on the beach!
4. Folly Beach Fishing Pier
This pier had it's heyday in the 1940's as one of the first amusement parks in the nation. Newly renovated, you are free to roam to it's end, or shop inside the terrific beach store (including ice cream and hot dogs) or even have a margarita at Pier 101 Beach Bar (if open).
5. Angel Oak Tree
We will visit this 400-500 year old, John's Island live oak.
6. Drayton Hall
The only and oldest remaining plantation house, in it's original form. While we do not tour inside the house, we will stop for pictures and history lesson.
7. Magnolia Plantation & Gardens
We will take a stroll down the alley of oaks to the reflection pond -- countless Snap! Shot opportunities.
8. Old St. Andrew's Parish Church
The oldest remaining parish hall south of Virginia, sits among the Spanish moss and graveyard of the Drayton family.
9. Fort Moultrie
Walk along the station street just beyond the fort, to the beach, and get a great big surprise!
10. Stella Maris Roman Catholic Church
This beautiful church was built during the 1830's for the Irish Army Core of Engineers constructing the forts on the island. Travel back in time into this testament of survival.
11. Sullivan's Island Lighthouse
The ugliest lighthouse in America!
12.
Another secret and immense view of the Yorktown and the Cooper River.
13.
Bon Voyage back to your starting point at the Wharfside Aquarium. You have to see Charleston from the water!!!

Lee Ann is an excellent guide. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw sites that I suspect with most other tours, we would not get a chance to experience. Every stop was memorable. Cost of the tour was well worth it . If you’re looking for a tour for stops that might be considered “out of the ordinary”, then this is the tour to take.

I highly recommend this trip. Leann was amazing and she made the whole event very special for us. You see some amazing views and hear some great history about the low country we did not know. The van is comfortable and AC and she had goody bags for everyone with a full agenda and some awesome books. Well worth the money.

This is a nice overview of places in the Charleston area. There are short stops at each location along with the bit of history.

This was a really neat tour and everyone in my group enjoyed it. My kids are older (19-22) and they loved learning about the history of Charleston and seeing all the different spots. We ended up with a private tour since no one else booked and that was really cool. LeeAnn was a wonderful guide and I would definitely recommend going on this tour!

Took the "Complete Charleston" tour on Memorial Day with Leanne; definitely recommend! Her tours offer a great way to see the area without your own car. She had goodie bags for us with maps, city info, and delicious benne wafers.

This particular tour was nice for me as a first-time visitor to Charleston to get an overview of sites outside the main downtown area. We returned to the city via watertaxi with flexibility to stop at waterfront or aquarium, with dolphins & pelicans seeing us off at the pier.

Book directly for the best rates (snapchs.com)! If you're a solo traveler, email Leanne a few weeks before your trip to arrange joining a tour.

Leanne was a great guide and got to see so many places that I wouldn't have been able to visit. She was super organized and we knew exactly what was happening each visit
