If you are going direct then this may not be for you. There are a lot of stops along that take an hour, etc to get to and from. There was only one place we stopped that was less than a mile down the road. However, there is a lot of fun information that highlighted our trip and next time we may take day to check out the amazing plantations and places mentioned in the audio tour
I knew that Charleston was a historic city, but the tour really made it come to life. I'm a big Civil War guy, so I enjoyed the information on that as well. Adding the photo op at Battery Park was cool too.
Handicap are treated like dirt. SHAME ON YOU. They don't have handicap flags and they won't bend the rules for people with disabilities. They have spots on the tee boxes and greens where I was not able to walk.
