My 20-something daughter and I went on an early-morning tour with Greenville Glides, and we had a blast! Walter was an excellent guide. He tailored the tour to what we wanted (there were just the two of us), and he gave us a terrific overview of the downtown and West End areas. I recommend going on the early-morning tour, if possible. I can't imagine navigating the crowds on Main Street later in the day. Excellent guide, excellent tour...I highly recommend it!
