| The Harbor Tour and carriage ride tour were both very enjoyable. It was fun to see the historic homes in Charleston and learn some of the history of the town. The tours were reasonably priced and we would both recommend either one to anyone who would like to sit back and relax and learn a little about Charleston. |

| I had three friends visit me from Buffalo, NY - we had only one full day of touring - they were here for a quick weekend - what a wonderful time we had - we had the boat tour - then walked to the carriage ride - saw people, places, the market etc. on our way. Had a great ride - loved both the boat and the carriage - saw the harbor and the city all in one day. tMy guests were ecstatic - it was easy to get the tickets on-line. they had our names when we arrived - no problem at all - easy to find - easy to get to - and fun, fun, fun, |

| Our group of six adults very much enjoyed both the harbor cruise and carriage ride in Charleston. It was relaxing, educational and a real deal for the 29.50 charge per person. It was convenient to make reservations for the harbor cruise, but equally good to be flexible for the carriage ride at our own availability. |

| I purchased the tour for my parents(80+). Of course it rained and according to them Charleston has the worst street signs. So they had a hard time finding the harbour tour. They said they enjoyed it but wish the boat could have gotten closer to shore. They had to skip the buggy ride the next day(more rain). Pretty much the only two days of rain we've had since early spring. They did say good hotdog with their wine! |

| This was my second trip to Charleston and my second carriage ride (previous tour was done by another company)... For my guests, it was their first time... I really wanted to impress them but this combo of carriage and boat was just okay... I find myself comparing this carriage ride with the last and it just simply did not measure up. The previous tour was fun and the tour guide spoke to us. On this tour, I as well as my guests felt, the tour guide was talking at us. He spilled out his facts but it was hard hearing him and it was just monotone. We all had a hard time concentrating on what he was saying. I did get to see a different side of the city, the college area which really was kind of gross... We went past the Frat houses with beer bottles in the front yards. We even had a college kid tell the carriage that "this is the house where John come to get drunk and pass out on the couch"... Not the impression I was hoping to show my guests. The boat ride was the same.... just tons of facts, like reading from a card and not all that interesting... Sorry! |

| My five daughters and I really enjoyed the cruise and the carriage ride. We did not know that there was any food on board the vessel so perhaps a small note might be added for other groups that you have some foods available..
The Narrators on the cruise and carriage tour were excellent and we all benefited by their knowledge.
Thanks , I will recommend this combo to others. |

| Harbour Cruise was good apart from the fact the boat didn't really go close to anything .Also there was a lot of diesel fumes around the boat .
The carriage ride was very interesting |

| My husband and I recently joined friends on the harbor tour and carriage ride, and both are wonderful activities.
The boat from the harbour provides either on-deck or enclosed inside seating, and there was a wonderful "escort" of dolphins to watch during most of the trip. The captain has a great way of narrating the history of the harbor. The only thing that might be added is the option to order a box lunch at the time when individual tickets are ordered, as was obviously an option for groups.
The harbor booth attendant was friendly and knowledgeable about the city, and plenty of maps were available.
There was quite a wait for an afternoon carriage ride, but it was well worth it. Wagons are large and easily accommodate a small group. The driver was once again an excellent tour narrator. Here, the only thing that might be improved on is the addition of handicapped seating in the staging area for carriage rides;
the singular streetcorner bench in excessive afternoon heat was difficult for an elderly woman waiting to take the ride.
My husband and I learned of these activities through an article in the local paper,
and we will surely be repeat customers! |
