Overview

There is so much more awaiting you off the Charleston peninsula! Here is your opportunity to take a small group, 1/2 day tour (8 or less) in my 2021 Mercedes Sprinter. This tour has something for everyone, while we visit the most picturesque spots outside the limits in the Lowcountry. Get your dose of lighthouses, beaches, piers, forts and endless history. You will quickly understand how important the Charleston area is in American history, while taking in the ocean breeze.

First, we travel to Folly Beach to visit the lighthouse, beach and pier. Next, a drive through historical Citadel Military college. Then, on to Sullivan's Island, and to stroll the grounds of Fort Moultrie, out to the beach, and the best view of Charleston from the water. Finally, the lighthouse.

I am a city certified tour guide that takes you outside the limits!
There are walks on this tour, and includes beach dunes.

There is a 4 person minimum for this tour to operate. Please discuss mobility issues before.
