Joy was a joy! LOL I loved the 'adults only' theme of this tour and Joy is hilarious!! Also, we had a pretty cool group. We didn't travel too far and the pace was easy. If you find yourself in Charleston, you should take this tour.

The tour guides energy was very unenthusiastic. He didn’t even seem like he wanted to be doing his job . He mentioned “this is the 10th tour Ive done today” and at the end of the tour didn’t even bother to take us back to the original location . He basically just said “ok we are done good luck” . Super boring stories . Felt like I was in a history class . Nothing exciting in the slightest . Never ever again .
