Quite pleased with having booked us a Charleston See–It–All Sightseeing Bus Tour!
That proved to be excellent and conveniently close within walking distance to our Hyatt House Charleston Historic District in South Carolina.
Thanks to TripAdvisor, where I found some excellent reviews that highly recommended this.
Also instead of a carriage tour, which covers only a limited area and would be rather noisy as you are out in the open... Considering my Pieter wearing hearing aids.
Having booked on line I had our tickets on my iPhone and we walked in about 5 minutes from the Hyatt House Charleston Historic District, to 375 Meeting Street to VISITOR CENTER of Charleston.
That's where all the tour buses come to pick up their passengers.
Charleston with its Southern Charm was founded in 1670 as Charles Town in honor of King Charles II.
Charleston is also called the Holy City because of its religious tolerance and abundant places of worship.
Charleston has lots of handmade wrought iron work. Notice the elaborate front door that goes to nowhere?
It just gets opened for letting the natural breeze go through all the way by opening the next door and/or windows.
Also the single house (one room wide) has its narrow side with a gable end, along the street.
Always facing north/south or east/west for taking advantage of prevailing breezes.

Great architecture and perfect gardens, parks and green sections throughout.
Lovely historic home and especially the lower outdoor shutters are exactly in the pattern as we have for our indoor shutters and doors!

Statue to the The Defenders of Fort Sumter Monument in Battery Park
Text reads: To The Confederate Defenders of Charleston
Fort Sumter
1861–1865
The statue is located in the southern tip of the Battery
The Battery in Charleston is a fortified seawall and promenade.
The Battery is lined with historic antebellum homes... the cream of the Holy City's architecture.
Our Sightseeing Bus Tour lasted 90 minutes and the driver was very knowledgeable.
My Pieter enjoyed listening to him and getting to know more about Charleston's history and architecture; so did I!

Just snapped this picture hastily as we had disembarked at the Visitor Center before driver Benji pulled up...
That was a wonderful Adventure!
Now we leisurely stroll back to our hotel...
Pieter comfortably dressed in his Zegna jeans and comfy shoes, just as I was wearing, with my Escada jeans and Wolford top seen in top picture.
Lovely handmade wrought iron work everywhere and these lanterns got adorned with flower baskets.
And arriving "HOME" again at our Hyatt House...
Perfect for tea time at our One Bedroom King Suite!
The weather was perfect as well with still 23℃ or 73.4℉ at 16:40 o'clock!
Enjoy our short Relive video and stay tuned for more...
