Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to take this tour? I want to gift it for my friend's birthday.

A: The best time for the tour is definitely in the spring (April to June) or fall (September to November) when the weather is mild. Summer can be super hot and humid in Charleston, which can make the walking part uncomfortable. I took it in late October, and it was perfect—crisp air and beautiful fall colors!

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for the tour? Thinking about bringing my kids.

A: There’s no strict age limit, and families are welcome! Just keep in mind that it's a walking tour, and younger kids might get tired. I saw families with kids around 8-12 years old, and they seemed to enjoy it. Just make sure they can walk a good distance without needing a break!

Q: Can the tour be rescheduled if something comes up last minute?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Opatrip.com is pretty flexible with changes, as long as you give them a heads-up (usually 24 hours). Just make sure to check their policy when you book, but I didn’t have any issues when I had to change mine.

Just did the private tour in Charleston and it was amazing!

I gifted this tour to my parents for their anniversary and they absolutely loved it! The guide was super knowledgeable and took them to all the iconic spots like the Battery and Rainbow Row. They said the stories about the old buildings really brought history to life. They even enjoyed some shopping at the Charleston City Market afterward! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a thoughtful gift!

Considering the Charleston tour for my friend, any advice?

I'm thinking about getting this private tour for my best friend who's a huge history buff. I want it to be special, but not sure what to expect. How long does it usually last, and is there a lot of walking? She has some mobility issues. Any tips?
