Relax for a panoramic motorcoach tour of Charleston – one of the most beautiful and historic cities in the American South.
Her stately homes, lovely gardens, magnificent public buildings and majestic churches will enchant you. As you tour you will see the College of Charleston, Harleston Village (one of the early suburbs of the city), the Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, and of course the famous Battery with its elegant townhouses. The latter were built in the 18th and 19th centuries by planters and merchants. Your expert guide will enchant you with interesting history and lively stories about some of these prominent sites.
Landmarks that you will pass include St Michael's Episcopal Church, whose bells have crossed the Atlantic seven times, the Old Exchange, and the Provost Dungeon where Revolutionary Prisoners were held captive by the British.
Don't miss catching a glimpse of the Fireproof Building, designed by the same architect who designed the Washington Monument, and the Old City Market – a public market in business for more than 200 years.
