Charleston Guided Trolley Tour

The Charleston Guided Trolley Tour takes visitors through the historic streets of Charleston, South Carolina, by open-air trolley with a live guide narrating the city's architecture, landmarks, and history. Charleston's downtown district contains one of the largest collections of pre-Civil War buildings in the United States, and the tour routes typically cover the French Quarter, the Battery, and the antebellum mansions along the waterfront.

Guides point out named sites including Rainbow Row, White Point Garden, and the Old Exchange Building, providing context on the city's colonial and Civil War history. Tickets cover a seated place on the trolley for the full guided loop, with most departures running from the historic city centre. For more options around the city, see things to do in Charleston.
