ECO -TOURS
The Lowcountry is home to beaches, marshes, river ways and islands just waiting to be explored. If you’re eager to catch a dolphin sighting or see all of the creatures that call the rich estuaries home, these eco-tours are for you.
MILITARY TOURS
From the Continental Army’s admirable efforts during the Revolutionary War to the first shot fired in the Civil War, the Charleston area has a legacy of military milestones, including the first combat submarine to sink a warship, and the Citadel, the military college founded in 1843. Patriots Point is home to the USS Yorktown, a WWII-era aircraft carrier, allowing further interpretation locallly of our country’s military history.

Ordinance guide to regulate sightseeing vehicles in the Old City District
There are a few things that are helpful to know before visiting Charleston by motorcoach. Due to the unique and sensitive nature of the Old and Historic Districts which include numerous narrow streets and residential areas, the city created a route for large buses. This route is shown on the map provided.
We ask that you fill out an application to request permits prior to visiting the Historic District. Our Tourism staff will review the information you provide and will issue permits with the best route, loading/unloading zones and parking for your specific needs. This program is in place so that you as an operator and your guests have an enjoyable experience while visiting Charleston.
We all rely on GPS, but its use in the area can lead you to streets that are far too narrow to safely navigate. The city has released an interactive map for motorcoaches that will help you get to your destinations without the use of GPS.

WHERE THE REVOLUTION ECHOES STILL
In arleston, South Carolina, the story of America’s fight for independence comes alive, not just in textbooks or museums, but underfoot, in the very streets, gardens, and fortifications that bore witness to revolution.
As one of the most significant cities of the Revolutionary War, Charleston stood at the crossroads of strategy and struggle. British occupation. Colonial resistance. Local heroism. The siege of 1780. These aren’t distant memories, but chapters you can still explore.
Start your journey at The Charleston Museum, the nation’s first, to set the stage for centuries of Lowcountry history. Stroll The Battery, where cannons once defended Charleston Harbor. Step inside The Powder Magazine, South Carolina’s oldest public building, where colonial militias stored arms. Tour the Heyward-Washington House, home to a signer of the Declaration of Independence and once host to President George Washington himself.
Walk through the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon, where patriots were imprisoned beneath the grand Palladian-style halls and where the Constitution was ratified. Visit the Miles Brewton House, seized by British forces and turned into headquarters for General Clinton during the occupation.
Stand at Fort Moultrie, where patriots famously used palmetto logs to repel the British fleet. Explore Marion Square, once the site of colonial fortifications. Wander the Historic District, where Georgian architecture and cobbled alleys still speak of rebellion, resilience, and revolutionary ideals. Head just beyond the peninsula to the Charles Pinckney National Historic Site, honoring a principal framer of the U.S. Constitution and a voice of South Carolina’s revolutionary leadership.
Venture along the Ashley River to Drayton Hall, Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, and Middleton Place, three of America’s oldest plantations. Explore Drayton Hall’s preserved 18th-century estate, then stroll Middleton Place, once home to a Revolutionary officer and generations who shaped the land and its legacy.
Plan your visit to the Charleston area, where America’s founding story unfolds at every turn. REVWARCHS.COM
