1. Optional – Carriage Tour or City Bus Tour
Choose to add a narrated tour of the historic district to your day! Enjoy a one-hour carriage tour or one-hour bus tour with an experienced driver and guide who will delight you with the history and sights of the historic district. You cover 25-30 city blocks and get dropped back off 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.
3. 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.
