      Beautiful places and great places to eat and shop! Mary Young, the tour director was very polite and professional! Darwin, the driver of the motorcoach was an excellent driver and was very helpful helping me with my disabled stepdaughter working the wheelchair lifting get her on and off the motorcoach. Thank you for a great trip and tour!

      Great trip!! Our guide Mr. Al Miller was wonderful, learned so much about the Gullah/Geechee culture. The International African American Museum was very educational although for me a little heart-wrenching at times. Enjoyed lunch on the waterfront also. Thanks Capitol Tours for the trip!
