I'm very sorry to hear about your post-tour experience. The certainly doesn't reflect our experience at all, but it's been half a year since then. I hope it was just one bad day and not a representation of how that company has started doing business. We've always had a great time in the past. If you haven't already, I hope you will send these same comments to the management at the company. Their contact is: reservations (at) oldcharlestontours.com Hi Sara, thanks for writing in.

Carol was a wonderful tour guide and she had such great information. We all thought it was a real bonus that she grew up here and was able to add so much to the tour. We did have the impression though, that the tour would end at the Slightly North of Broad restaurant where we would conclude in air-conditioning waiting for our drink or dessert. However, what happened was that we were handed coupons and left on the street corner. We were told that a restaurant up and across the street would give us water. That restaurant thought we were crazy asking for water and seemed to have no knowledge or interest in the tour. Then we walked quite the distance to the SNOB and there was a line out the door and an hour and one half wait. We had to find another place to eat which was not easy since none of us are familiar with Charleston. It was very hot and humid today and I think that we were not treated in a hospitable way at the end-- when we were tired, over-heated, and hungry.
