The harbor tour was well received by my family. It was fun and informative. The plantation tour was disappointing. We were only able to tour five rooms, and that includes the foyer, and a hallway. The tram tour was nothing more than a view of the crops they currently grow. On the bright side, the slave quarters were a real experience. It was quite interesting, and their recordings that were in each quarters, was informative. The general consensus of my family is that they need to adjust their plantation tour more towards a historical perspective. The house guide was quite knowledgeable. The gift shop was more of a corner store. Again, they could make changes to best represent their product. My wife, daughter in law and son went to the butterfly cafe, where the running joke was there was one butterfly, and a turtle. |

We enjoyed the plantation house tour and slave quarters tour. The kids were bored on the boat tour. |

Buying my tickets online was easy and even discounted for the Harbour Tour and The Boone Hall Plantation.
If in Charleston and you don't take these tours you have missed a great part of History. |

What a dilemma! Four vistors from New Zealand, varied ages and interests, and only one day in Charleston. The Harbor and plantation combo package solved the problem. The tickets were easy to book, directions to and from each place were clear and the staff at each venue were professional and helpful. We actually missed our harbor cruise time due to traffic issues and we were booked, without a problem, on the next cruise. We learned so much about Charleston and its history from both the plantation and the harbor cruise. It was an affordable, enjoyable day and I will certainly repeat the experience with my next visitors. |

The harbor tour was nice. It was hot and kind of breezy and we did learn a lot about the city. The men working the tour were very nice and did a great job. The plantation on the other hand was a complete waste of money! You only get to tour 3 rooms of the house, which it should state. When you purchase a "plantation tour" I expected an actual tour of the house, not just the dining room library and back room. We didn't get to see upstairs, the kitchen or anything really about how the people lived. The gardens were a mess, overgrown and not taken care of. The slave quarters were interesting, the highlight of the trip. The butterfly garden was not even open, which was not posted anywhere. We figured that out when we tried to go into it. The "cafe" was folding chairs and tables with 2 high school kids texting on their cell phones selling 2 month old freezer burnt ice cream in flavors no one would want to eat and $3 bottled water. Do not waste your time or money!!! Do the harbor tour but do not get the combo!! |

The Harbor Tour was very enjoyable and informational. The guide was very friendly and well educated. When he wasn't talking, we enjoyed a very appropriate selection of beach music. The food on board was simple, but delicious and well priced. The plantantion was very pretty. The guide at the plantation was also very well educated and friendly. The property is well taken care of and there are many things to see and do. Both places are great for taking beautiful pictures. |

We went on the Charleston Harbor Tour and the Plantation Tour. Booking the tours with Zerve was easy. When we got to the harbor for the harbor tour check in was fast and easy. The plantation tour was great. We had an excellent time at both places. During the harbor tour we seen dolphins and my 4-year old grandson really liked that he said that it was "awesome"! All in all it was a great experience and I would definately recommend it. If I get back to Charleston I would use them again. Thanks for the great experience. |
