Ride through Charleston Tea Garden’s acres of tea bushes, hear stories from a guide and founder Bill Hall, and visit the greenhouse.

About this tour

See the tea fields of Wadmalaw Island from a trolley at Charleston Tea Garden, where rows of tea bushes stretch across the landscape. This 45-minute ride offers a close look at one of North America’s distinctive tea-growing settings.

As the trolley travels through the garden’s acres of tea bushes, a live guide shares stories about tea. Founder Bill Hall also narrates part of the ride over the bus sound system, adding insight into the garden and its plants. The trolley stops at the greenhouse, where you can step off and see how new tea bushes are brought to life.

This Wadmalaw Island Tea Garden Trolley Tour pairs an easy ride through the fields with a hands-on greenhouse stop. Book your visit to experience the tea garden from the ground level and learn how its plants begin.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.78 from 145 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Charleston
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.9.
