Harbor tour was great - very informative and relaxing. Plantation was a disappointment as the tour is 4 rooms in the house. The slave cabins were interesting as was the Gullah presentation |

We purchased the ticket through Charleston Harbour (for both activities). After I purchased my tickets, the receipt was saying to go to the arbour and that they would supply me with a voucher for the plantation. The problem is that we were planning to do the plantation first, so I was very confused about how the plantation would accept my receipt. Finally, I was scarred for nothing because the plantation accepted my receipt & provided me a voucher for the boat, it was so easy.... So please change the wording to say that we can present ourself to either one and that the first attraction will provide a voucher for the second one.
Also for the parking at the arbour, please indicate clearly that the packing is on the right (not left where they say it is not their but do not indicate where it is). Thanks |

I could not believe they asked for tips at the end of the cruise. If i remember right I paid for the cruise and if the crew abord the vessel did nothing for me to ear a tip in anyway shape or form. Actually the guy narrating the cruise talked to the people in the front of the boat and by the time the rear of the boat got there no one knew what to look for. Oh yea and the Plantation was not a Plantation. It was a replica home builtin 1935. |

We did the cruise on one day and the plantation tour on another. Both tours are well worthwhile, educational and entertaining. I would highly recommend these to anyone visiting Charleston. |

Once we were on the ship, we enjoyed the trip. However, parking is absolutely terrible and a very long walk for someone who has a walking disability. |

Easy to obtain tickets. Both very worthwhile. Visited the plantation, then went on the cruise and returned to the plantation for the rest of the day. Both activities were very informative and very enjoyable. |

The tour of Charleston Harbor was very informative and interesting. The captain provided us with alot of information. The only thing that would have made it better would have been docking at Fort Sumter and getting to look inside the fort. We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Boone Hall. There were many interesting programs there. |

The harbor tour was very fun and informative. We enjoyed it quite a bit on a hot afternoon in late September in Charleston. However, if you really want to see Fort Sumter it may be better to start with the Parks Service tour and then decide if a bit more detail in another tour is worth your while. As for the Boone Hall Plantation tour I felt it was lacking. Part of this is due to the fact we showed up on the weekend of the Scottish Games festival. The games and music were very interesting and enjoyable but the added crowd and lack of structured tours during the festival took away from our plantation experience. The plantation gardens we saw wandering about the property were not stellar. In fact they needed much work. Perhaps this is due to this being a working plantation but little effort was put into the plantation gardens. I suspect other locations have much better presentations. |

We had a great time! I just took my e-ticket to the maritime center and everything was taken care of. The harbor tour was excellent and informative and the Boone Hall trip was our favorite! I would definitely do this again and have told my friends about it already. Great value too for the money! |

My husband and I recently enjoyed a wonderful CharlestonHarbor & Boone Hall Plantation Tour!! We would highly recommend these experiences to anyone interested in learningabout and seeing the Charleston area. The tours were reasonably priced and fun to do. We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing tour of the harbor, the humor and kindness of the crew. The planatation was intereting to see - the tour guides were informative and knowledgeable. We would and will recommend this to anyone we know planning a trip to this beautiful historic city. |
