| HI - we enjoyed the harbor tour but it was quite hot. We did not take the carriage ride as it was entirely too hot and we thought we were going to pass out from heat exhaustion as it was. Other than that, it is highly recommended - just go at a cooler time of year. |

| The carriage driver was amazing, mixing all the information with a bit of drama and a bit of humor. My husband, though a diehard "will NOT do the tour thing" really enjoyed the historical insight he had not gotten from his preparatory research. We all talked about it for days. Loved loved loved it and would certainly recommend it to anyone traveling to the Charleston area. |

| In short, the harbor and carriage tour provided us the best value in the least amount of time. Both tour guides were extremely knowledge and professional.
I was really impressed with the knowledge our carriage driver displayed throughout the tour.
I would recommend this to others and I would plan on taking the carriage tour again. |

| The cruise narration was excellent. However, we were not able to take the carriage ride because of the timing and we could not stay another day. Suggest you explain to future clients. |

| My boyfriend and I wanted to have a romantic weekend in Charleston. Given the fact that we only had two days, we decided to go online and search for the best tour to take while in town. Well, there is not a better tour for the money than the Charleston Harbor Tour & Carriage Ride. It was a fantastic way to enjoy Charleston’s history and beautiful sightseeing in a snapshot without having to read the boring tourist’s guide and spend the entire two days walking.
During the harbor tour the weather was spectacular, we saw Charleston’s harbor, some boaters, dolphins, the battleship, the islands, the forts and everything else in just over an hour while seating and drinking at the ferry. The carriage ride was great idea because Charleston is really hot and humid in the summer. The driver was a sweet and smart local girl, the Belgian horses are very well kept and the path was full of pretty houses, museums, churches and restaurants.
We truly recommend it.

| Between the Harbor Tour and the Carriage Ride I believe you get the basics of historic Charleston. This was certainly provided most adequately. Unless you're a Civil War buff I'm not sure you need a separate Fort Sumpter tour. I was a bit dissappointed that the fee for this was $4 cheaper in a brochure (2008) in my bed and breakfast yet this was not the price either on line or at the Harbor Tour center. |

| I thoroughly enjoyed both tours, and I am glad you combined the tours for the low price I paid to take both tours. I enjoyed both tours equally well. I did not like one tour more than the other, although the carriage tour was much shorter than the harbor tour. We had beautiful weather for both tours; and it was very relaxing on the boat while viewing the beautiful and historic sights around the harbor. I was impressed with the beautiful homes we saw on the carriage tour; I might add I was also impressed with the knowledge of the tour guides and the behavior of the horses who pulled the wagon full of people. I recommend the combo tour to every visitor to Charleston. |

| The guides on both tours were well-studied and full of factual and anecdotal information. We had fun while we learned a lot. We will definitely do thiese tours again! |
