| I thought the harbor was well worth the money. Excellent speaker for the narration, easy to listen to and follow. The tour included all the highlights of the harbor and was very interesting. Some narrations can ramble on and you lose interest but this one was great!!
The carriage ride was great. The narration was spoken too fast and was hard to follow the narration because of it; otherwise the tour was great and I would reccommend it to anyone visiting Charleston. Thank you!! |

| We really enjoyed our Harbor Tour and especially the carriage ride. It was rather hot the day of our Harbor Tour, but it was still fun. The carriage ride was great, and we were able to learn alot about Charleston. |

Enjoyable

| The narration of the harbor tour was unclear at times, but the boat ride was nice and kind of romantic anyway. The carriage ride was very nice, the narration was great, great history in this beautiful city. Not enough time to do all the things we wanted. |

| The Charleston Harbor Tour and Carriage tour was well worth the price and time. I highly recommend it to anyone going to Charleston. Customer service at both tours were exemplary. By the way parking is free at the harbor tour-unheard of in Charleston. A MUST DO ACTIVITY!!! |

| We regretted buying tickets in advance. Besides the service charge, it also said we needed to go to the Harbor tour first to get the ticket for the carriage tour. It recommended you do the carriage tour early (they open at 9:00) but when we went to pick up our tickets at 9:30 for the carriage tour, the Harbor tour office was not open. We returned at 10:00 (the stated opening time) but the girl opening the office did not get there or have the office set up for business until after 10:20. Those buying the tickets onsite (besides saving the service charge) also got their tickets immediately. She told us she had to call another office to confirm they had our payment even though I had my email confirmation. She never could get anyone at the main office so she told us we had to walk the two additional blocks to the harbor tour main office to get the carriage tour tickets. By the time we got there it was after 10:30 and we had wasted an hour trying to get tickets we had preordered. Staff at this office offered no apologies for us losing an hour of a very short weekend trip and said sometimes it happened that the other office didn't open until 10:30.
The carriage tour was very good and we enjoyed our tour guide. The harbor tour narrator (male) had a very high pitched and VERY sing-songy voice which was very irritating. When he started talking, everyone on the front of the boat just looked at each other and kind of rolled their eyes. I did not enjoy this tour for that reason. I would not recommend this tour to others because of the possibility of having this narrator for an hour and a half. It would have been enjoyable had we had a different narrator. |
