| I had bought the combo about 24 hours before we took the Harbor tour on Friday Nov 28, at 1:30 PM.
The harbor tour was great and the whole family enjoyed it.
After the tour was over at 3:00 PM, we drove to Anson street for our Carriage tour.
We reached around 3:20 and showed the operator our ticket/receipt which we had received from the harbor tour operator.
The Carriage tour operator told us that we had not booked a specific time and that she was booked for the day and that we should come back the day after! She moved away from us to talk in private with some "higher ups" and again told us the same thing.
She also told us that she has checked with other Carriage tour operators and nobody had seats.
After much arguing, she proceeded to refund us half of the money. We booked for about $123 and she gave us back $62 or so. This money was enough to take the tour with another company because there was no savings for a combo.
We walked across the street to another tour operator. I believe it was Paw.. something. They readily allowed us to purchase the tickets for a 4:30 tour. We took that tour and enjoyed ourselves.
You should better manage the combo. You should assign a specific time for the Carriage tour as well as the harbor tour. Or do something else, so combo buyers are no subjected to such rude behavior. And at the minimum refund the entire combo fee incase you are unable to honor your end of the bargain. |

| Both tours are worth it, even on the same day. (The weather could make or break the boat ride. The winter wind could make it really uncomfotable on the water, and I'm certain Charlston summers can be unpleaseant too. We were fortunate for a sunny fall day.) The content of the tours is different enough not to be a concern. The carriage ride is prefered if you have to choose one, but with the combo ticket, the harbour ride is worth the additional expense. Guides gave useful interesting information. At each event, supporting staff was VERY pleasant to deal with. |

| The harbor tour was great. It was much more informative than we thought it would be. We highly recommend this. However, please note something we did not know. If you plan on taking the carriage ride, tours stop at 4pm. We didn't get to take the carriage tour that we paid for because we were unaware of this. |

| First I thnk that the harbor tour part needs to be explaned better in the fact that if there is less then 15 people that the tour will be called off for that time. |

| I loved the carriage ride. It was a great way to see the historic homes of Charleston and plan the rest of our trip based on the museums we wanted to go back and see. The Harbor Cruise was ok, but just ok. The announcer was difficult to understand and somewhat lifeless with his descriptions. I was surprised that their really seemed to be few sites of interest on the tour. We did see numerous dolphins! This was the highlight of the cruise! |
