Customer Reviews

I was able to make the most of my time
I found everything I was looking for and more in this small, easy-to carry guide. Not only did I find exact prices for hotels and restaurants, I also learned about low country cooking, the architecture in Charleston, and a brief history. All of this was in this little guide that I could fit in my purse!

You need this for a first trip to Charleston.
I just returned from Charleston and used this book. It was a joy to use. Best little travel guide I've seen. It covers the major information for planning a trip and then it becomes a highly portable reference book while there. Highly recommend this book and "The Best Little Map Of Charleston". You need little else

Good to carry around with you
This small book fits easily into your purse so you can carry it around with you. Better information can be obtained for free from SC tourism web sites.
