This was a good price for the two activities. The harbor tour was informative, interesting, and a relaxing way to see the city. The plantation tour was an indepth look into history. Though it was vey hot and not much shade! My only complaint is that the two activities are no where near one another and that was not made clear when I bought these tickets. There was no transportation provided between the two. Had I known this, I probably would only have done the harbor tour. |

This was a nice way to spend a day in Charleston. We started the day with the Harbor Cruise and ended with the tour of the Plantation. Both were very informative; however, the Plantation tour was the best. After attempting to figure out what the tour guide on the boat was pointing out, we gave up and enjoyed being out on the water. Seeing the dolphins was very enjoyable! Overall, I would recommend both tours. You will definitely enjoy and the price is very reasonable. |

What a great combination tour this was !! Affordable, historic, entertaining and very good plantation and harbour tour operators / narrators.
Boone Hall Plantation: We got there at 2pm and left at 5:30pm. In that time frame we took the tram ride (which had Michael as the guide and he was awesome. He was very knowledgeable about the historical aspects of Boone Hall, insightful with his own interpretations as well as comical, injecting some humor now and again), toured the mansion with another female guide, who's name slips my mind, walked the grounds including the slaves quarters as well as listed to Mr. Murray's 1 man show. My wife and kids, 16 and 14, enjoyed the experience and learned a lot.
Harbor Tour: Our 11:30am tour began on time and lasted 1.5 hours. It was a nice presentation and very scenic. We were taken to the mouth of the harbor a few hundred feet from Fort Sumter, (check out the FREE Fort Sumter Museum, about 1 football field away from the Harbor Tour ticket office) the Destroyers and USS Yorktown air craft carrier, up to and under the Charleston Harbor Bridge and saw 4 dolphins along the way. |

Interested in American History? You won't be disappointed with visiting the Boone Plantatation and taking the harbour tour. We would like to come back in October when Fall festivities promise to be exciting. |

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, |

Boone Hall Plantation was amazing! If you're a history fan ( and a "North and South" miniseries fan ) it's a must!
The harbor tour was very relaxing. Again, if you like history you'll enjoy it. Very informative. |

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.
