I would recommend this harbour tour to anyone who has a few days to spend in Charleston. The tour hosts were very friendly, informative and accommodating. We were able to learn quite a bit about the area and see history first hand from the comfort of our seats on the boat.
Additionally, the tour was punctual and the 90 minutes was just about the right amout of time to leave a portion of the day open for other activities.
The same is true for the plantation tour. THere is much to learn about the centuries of history that make up this area and viewing this first-hand is much more appealing than reading from a book. If possible, I do believe that the plantation tour should be done on a "good weather" day as much of the time is being spent outside.
My wife and I both felt that these tours were well worth the time and expense. |

If you've ever taken the boat tour in Savannah, you will be thrilled with this one. You actually see things. We even saw a dolphin up close. Got a great picture of it. Music, captain, and tour was fantastic.
Plan to spend several hours at the Boone Plantation. It's so much to see and so much history. You don't want to miss any part of it. Everyone was so nice, especially trolley driver. He was a hoot. Don't forget to visit the butterly pavillion. My daugther took beautiful pictures which we were able to frame. We spoke Gullah for several days after returning. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes and go when it's not so hot so you can enjoy the gardens and all the outdoor activities. |

very enjoyable outing..we liked the harbor tour as much as the plantation tour..but being a horticultural therapist I probably enjoyed the latter the most. |

My husband and myself were on our 32nd wedding anniversary trip and the tour of the Boone Hall Plantation and the Harbor Tour was very memorable. We learned many facts about our state and the guide kept our interest. We would highly recommend these tours to others. |

Staff was very friendly and informative. The harbor tour hit all the historical areas. The staff had a lot of historical and local information that made the tour much more pleasurable.
The plantation tour was very good. There is some walking, but there is also a motorized tram tour. The plantation is a private residence and is still a working farm. The staff was very helpful and informative. The directions to the plantation were very accurate.
I heartily recommend both activities, |

The web site was easy to use. The carriage ride I would rate an A+. Anyone that uses your service should be happy with the companies you use.

The combo gives good value for a low price (compared with similar trips)
We had nice weather and really enjoyed the harbor tour. Boone Hall plantation wasn't the first plantation tour we did. It would have been nice if the house had been 200 years old, but we knew that it wasn't before we did the tour, so we weren't disappointed. Lots of info during the tour through the house. No extra payments for the bustour on the plantation.
No hesitations to recommend the Charleston Harbor Tour & Plantation Tour |
