highlights: What sets Chicora Tours apart is the truly intimate nature of the experience. While most city tours in Charleston pack 20 to 30 guests into standard buses, we limit our tours to just 10 guests. This ensures a quiet, comfortable environment where guests can interact directly with their guide, ask questions, and enjoy a more personal connection to the city.
Unlike trolleys or large buses, our tours are conducted in a luxurious Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, offering plush seating, climate control, and smooth, quiet transport. This vehicle allows access to areas many larger tours can’t reach, giving guests a unique perspective of Charleston’s historic streets and neighborhoods.
Our guides are more than just narrators — they’re local storytellers who infuse each tour with depth, warmth, and character. The experience is never rigid or robotic; instead, it flows naturally, often incorporating extra photo stops or spontaneous storytelling based on guest interest.
The midday departure time at 12:30 PM makes this the perfect bridge between morning activities and evening plans. Whether you’re visiting for the day or looking for a relaxing break in the afternoon, this tour offers the ideal mix of comfort, culture, and curated local insight.
