No other tour captures the Complete Charleston experience like this one. Snap! takes you where no others go on this 6 hour adventure!

Spend the day with me on this small group (limited to 8 people), full day adventure and learn what makes the Charleston Lowcountry so historical, controversial and beautiful, all in the comfort of my 2021 Mercedes Sprinter. I am a city certified tour guide that takes you outside the limits.

Stroll down Charlotte Street. Hike to Snap! a picture of the Morris Island Lighthouse. Shag down Folly Beach Pier. Behold the Angel Oak Tree. Contemplate Drayton Hall. Magnolia Plantation and Old St Andrew's Church. Salute Citadel College. Learn of Sullivan's Island notorious past. March around Fort Moultrie. Visit Charleston Lighthouse. See the USS Yorktown. Cruise across Charleston harbor on the Water Taxi.

This is an active tour (8000 total steps!) with several walks during the day. We will stop for a quick lunch to-go or bring your own.
