Best Tour, Worth Every Penny - Jeff was very knowledgeable and impressive. I learned so much on the tour which exceeded my expectations greatly. It is worth the extra $$ to ride in air conditioned comfort for a truly private and personalized tour. I HIGHLY recommend this 2 hour tour the moment you arrive to Charleston.

Comfortable and interesting way to see Charleston - Jeff was extremely knowledgeable about all things Charleston and took us to all the must-see spots. It was great to hear about the history of different buildings. He had cold water waiting for us in the car and was very accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent service and experience - In June we embarked on the Charlestown in a Nutshell with Jeff. We both enjoyed the journey through Charleston and surrounding areas. Jeff imparted his knowledge of all the wonderful architecture, history and life in Charleston. We learnt a lot in a very short time. Jeff was also very accommodating when asked to have a brief stop for either a photo opportunity or a quick visit to a shop. We would have not hesitation in recommending his service - just a note to those arriving by cruise ship - Jeff will wait outside the port area in front of the Customs House building.

A great tour for a hot day - Jeff was timely and very professional. He has extensive knowledge of Charleston’s history. Our two hour tour brought us to many interesting areas, including a slow drive through the Citadel. Would recommend Jeff-and his comfortably air conditioned vehicle! So much better than a walking tour on a HOT day in Charleston!🥵 Thank you Jeff.

Great orientation to Charleston - Had a wonderful couple of hours with Jeff learning sooo much about the history of Charleston. We did this on the first day of our trip so that Jeff could help us choosing what to do for the remainder. He was very interesting and informative. He was raised there and his pride in his hometown shines through. Despite his warning to check for personal items before leaving, I left my cellphone in his vehicle. Jeff went out of his way to find us and return my cellphone within a couple hours. THANKS JEFF!!!
