Charleston SC Group Tours: Planning What to Do for Your Group

There are so many amazing tours and attractions in Charleston that it can be a bit overwhelming to figure out what to do. The main thing is ensuring that the tour operators have the capacity to get your entire group on a tour. The second is ensuring that the tour operator is reputable and provides an amazing experience.

Top Tours to Consider in Charleston

There are a number of tours that are must-do experiences when visiting Charleston. Below we’ll outline what we think would be the optimal Charleston experience for your group.

  • Fort Sumter Tour – Get on a large ferry boat and take a ride out to this island fort where the first shot of the Civil War took place. This is a fun and laid back tour that takes you out to this National Park where Park Rangers answer questions and explain the role of Fort Sumter throughout the history of America.
  • Harbor Tour – If you don’t want to visit the fort, a great way to experience Charleston from the water is on a harbor tour. Not only are these boats large, they can accomdate a large group. The tour will highlight different points of interest in the harbor. There’s also a snack bar where you can get alcoholic drinks if you choose.
  • Plantation Tours – We have a few different plantations that are included on Tour Pass Charleston such as Boone Hall, Drayton Hall and McLeod Plantation. These properties are not only beautiful, they will give your group a grasp on the role of plantations in our past, the people who lived there and worked the fields as well.
  • Carriage Tour – most carriages in Charleston can take 15 or so people on one tour. Experience 25-30 blocks of the historic district with licensed and experienced guides.
  • History or Ghost Walking Tours – with Tour Pass we have 6 or 7 of the best walking tours in the city. Everything from haunted graveyards to historic stories…learn it all on a walking tour.
  • House Museum Tours – There are a number of great house museums in Charleston that are worth visiting. Just show your pass for entry. Groups are permitted to enter 10 at a time in most homes. Before arriving, please call or contact the property so they’re ready to accept a large group.

Why You Need a Charleston Tour Pass

Stress-Free Touring is What We Do

We work with groups large and small all the time. Tour Pass provides your group with simplistic group reservation via our Mobile Pass.

  • Show one pass and admit everyone at once: You can put all people in your group on one pass…it’s easy! 
  • No need to fumble with paperwork…visit a bunch of website making reservations.
  • The Mobile Pass provides detailed info on all tours, maps and more.
  • Non-consecutive day use: If your group purchases a multi-day pass (2 or more days), your days of use can be non-consecutive if you want. There’s a 10-day window to use your days purchased. A day will not activate until you check-in or make a reservation.
    • For instance you can use your 2-day pass on Monday…skip a few days and use the second day on Wednesday.
  • Save money: You can save a significant amount of money touring with Tour Pass versus paying full retail gate prices.
  • Stress-free touring: We make it easy since only the top tours and attractions are allowed to participate. No bad tours or ruined experiences.
