Would've traded the last 10 years of my life for an extra hour on this boat. The vibes are immaculate. Captain Tom and Dan are top tier.
2. Behind the Scenes of Shem Creek Shrimp Walking Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 22 reviews
This walking tour led by Captain Bryan is not your average "sit there and shut up" tour where the guide won't even remember you. Rather, after brief introduction, Captain Bryan will lead you on a historic journey of how Shem Creek came to prominence with its famous shrimping fleet and much more. Unlike any other tour in the area, guest have the ability to see the industry at work. Perhaps the group will meet Mr. Rector at Geechie Seafood with his several shrimp boats, beautiful reminders of the bountiful harvest to be conducted offshore. Furthermore, sample some of the key lime pie made by the family of Mrs. Fitch who is the owner of Mt. Pleasant Seafood or try your hand cast netting or a crabbing. This is not a tour, it is an experience to immerse yourself in the Shem Culture. Take back history, culture, language, snacks, but most of all guests will take from this experience an underlying appreciation for our local shrimpers and the history behind these hard working men and women.
Inclusions: Snacks

Could not recommend Capt. Bryan’s tours enough! He was so friendly and got our group to feel like old friends in the first 15 minutes of meeting each other! The groups are small by design and that made the afternoon so much more enjoyable, as we were all able to interact more (verses being at the back of some huge group unable to ask any questions!). We walked through beautiful Charleston, learned a little bit of (not your average) history, and drank some beers along the way! What more could you want?! If your in town I highly recommend meeting up with Bryan. We can’t wait to come back and go on his boat tour!

The service and the bike were fantastic! The attendant went over bike operation and safety tips, made sure we were on the correct bike for our size and experience, and gave us a map and great tips.on where to ride. He answered a ton of questions before we started, and our rental time didn't start until we left the lot! We rode over the bridge and all over downtown Charleston and back and still had about 50% battery left. The bikes are safe and well maintained. A LOT of fun to ride! Highly recommend this company while in Charleston. Oh.. you can buy a new Rebellion Roads bike there too!

The hotel and staff were great. The lobby was beautiful and the room was very nice. We went to breakfast several times and had drinks in the evening in the courtyard. I understand they are understaffed, as is everywhere, but the service was great and staff was very nice. I will definitely stay there on my next visit! My only suggestion for future renovation would be to have a vanity in the bathroom, not room for toiletries.

After 25 minutes we were 300 feet from our starting point on a 90 minute tour. The guide 5 times forgot what he was saying and totally lost it. The topper was we were to end at 12:30p. At 12:45p we were 1 mile away from starting point and he informed us he was taking 3 people from group of 45 to a boat ride and he would not be back to the original place we took off from for 30 minutes. We had to walk 1 mile to get back and we missed our 1 o’clock appointment
