Quick Details
Experience Historic Charleston on a Top-Rated Day Trip!
Enjoy a scenic journey to one of America’s greatest historic treasures, Charleston, SC, for a day of sightseeing, shopping and dining!
From our convenient meeting location in Myrtle Beach, you begin the picturesque two-hour trip to Charleston on our comfortable, air-conditioned motor coach.
Once in the Charleston area, your all-day adventure continues at the Charleston City Market. Hop on an optional mule-driven carriage tour with Palmetto Carriage Works to explore the historic city.
Guests who don’t choose to take the carriage tour, will have time to shop and browse in the historic city market and explore the Powder Magazine – SC’s oldest government building.
Next, enjoy a Charleston Harbor tour (with a delicious boxed lunch included) and a tour at Boone Hall Plantation, all with a professional tour guide who is certain to entertain and inform you.
After you’ve enjoyed the plantation experience, you will board the bus for the return trip to Myrtle Beach. You will be dropped back off at the starting point around 5:30.
Prepare for a Charleston cultural experience like no other!

1. Palmetto Carriage Works Tour – Optional
Enjoy a one-hour tour on a horse or mule-driven carriage. An experienced driver and guide delights you with the history and sights of the historic district. You cover 25-30 city blocks and get dropped back off at the Big Red Barn near the market, so you have time to browse the market as you head back to the bus for your next tour.
2. Charleston Harbor Tours
Board the Carolina Belle for a 90-minute, non-stop Harbor of History tour live-narrated by the captain. Experience 75 points of interest, including Fort Sumter, the USS Yorktown, and the Battery while delighting in a delicious deli-style boxed lunch.
2. Boone Hall Plantation Tour
Explore the 738-acre plantation to see the historic brick slave cabins, a smoke house, and a cotton gin. Costumed hostesses provide guided tours and reveal to you a true sense of Southern elegance, strife, charm, and beauty.
You also have some limited time to visit the market and see where the original settlers purchased their daily needs. Take home a souvenir, ranging from hand-woven baskets to one-of-a-kind artworks, before heading back to Myrtle Beach.
