Think about all of the things you Google before visiting a new city:

  • New breweries
  • Cool museums
  • Cute coffee shops
  • Essential restaurants
  • Free family things to do
  • Best local shopping

Now – think about how often you seek out these things in your own hometown. We get it: You get in a routine. You forget to get out and do new and exciting things after work. You travel on the weekends. We’ve all been there.

But we want to show you new, exciting ways to experience Columbia.

Experience Columbia SC (our city’s tourism organization) does choose-your-own-adventure-style “City Tours” on Instagram to show you how to explore your city like you might if you were a brand-new, bright-eyed tourist. Now, we’re partnering with them to ride along on their next City Tour.

That’s why we’re asking you: What kind of city tour we should take with Experience Columbia SC? (Bringing you along for the adventure, of course.)

Should we:

  • Taste all the new fall beers
  • Museum hop
  • Explore the local trails
  • Play on the river
  • Hit up all the new rooftops
  • Have an afternoon full of *free* fun

Let us know in our form below.
