Fantastic trip as always! Mary and her crew never fails to produce a memorable outing. Great dinner choice. Shrimp and grits were as good as any I've ever had. Looking forward to the next trip :)

Good food. Lovely lights and candles. Mary did a great job as tour director and Charlie was a good driver. This is the only way we would do Night of a Thousand Candles. Drop off and pick up directly at the entrance to the event. No worries about traffic and parking. Second time I've done this trip.

Capitol Tours must do this adventure every year. We all need to bring our families and grandchildren to Brook Green Gardens, Pawley’s Island. The Christmas lights woven into the live oaks, music in the air, smell of hot chocolate and museum filled with villages of electrical trains is for the young and young at heart.!! Mary, our tour director, made sure we had lots to eat. Truly a 5 star tour. This is an enjoyable and easy way to travel on a one day trip.
