| When booking the trip we were told that the Harbor Cruise would not be cancelled under any circumstances pending extremely severe and inclement weather. This fact was stressed over and over to me on the phone when booking the trip. The only reason we chose a group carriage ride and not a private tour was that it was billed as a package with the Harbor Tour.
During the carriage ride we were squeezed onto a carriage, which was extremely uncomfortable and it made it difficult to hear or enjoy the tour guide.
When we showed up for our booked Harbor Tour, we found that it had been cancelled due to weather, however it was a sunny, somewhat breezy afternoon. The person refunding the tour was no where to be found and therefore we were unable to book a tour with another company as it left just as she returned from an errand 20 minutes after our arrival to the center (note that the other company was running their tours). She was extremely unhelpful and only refunded a minimum amount with no acknowledgment of our long trek to the maritime center, the disruption of our plans nor the fact that we would have chosen a different carriage tour if not for the Harbor Cruise.
Other tour companies that we used throughout our trip, called frequently with updates and pick up times. This was the only tour that we booked that cancelled and I received no notice from the company regarding the possible cancellation. Needless to say I was very unimpressed! |

| Unfortunately due to weather conditions we unable to take the cruise portion of the tour but we enjoyed the carriage ride portion. Our hostess was very knowledgable and presented information enthusiastically. One critique, we sat in the back row and at times it was difficult to hear.We really had a nice time and would reccomend the tour. When the cruise was cancelled for the day we were quickly refunded that portion of our fee.

| We did the combo harbor and carriage tour and both were great. The guides gave you lots of information and answered questions. We really enjoyed both tours and will definitely go again. |

| I would suggest to wait and get tickets there, it is cheaper. Rather than buy on line. We had a great time and hope to revisit some time soon. |

| Both tours were a nice way to see Charleston from different angles (water and land). The combo is a good deal and while we did the carriage tour right after the boat tour, it is nice to have the option to do one later if you are all toured out or just want to explore for a while on your own. I only wish we had done the carriage tour earlier in our visit since it helps you get orientated in the city and also you see sites on the way that you might want to go back to, like churches and houses that are museums etc. Zerve was easy to deal with and even though we booked 1 hour before the boat left, our information was quickly transmitted to the desk were we checked in for the tour. In the future when shopping for a tour, I will check Zerve first. |

| Both tours were great. The harbor tour was 90 minutes and the carriage tour
was 60 minutes. Not too long, not too short. Both tour guides were very
knowledgeable and provided an abundance of history and information. |

| Both the harbor tour and carriage ride were great, but the kids especially liked the horse-drawn carriage. |

| My family highly recommend this tour to all who will take the time to view a beautiful and historical area and learn from your Captain on the tour boat and your driver of the carriage ride through Charleston. I purchased our tickets through Zerve and when we arrived all was waiting at the harbor. THis was my first ttime using Zerve and I would definately use them again. Again, my family and I had a wonderful experience. When you take the tour bu sure and take both your camera and your video camera to document your experience. |
