Charming and informative

The carriage ride guide was very informative and very charming. He not only told the history, but the human side of that era as well. The boat tour in the harbor was another way to view Charleston from the shorelines. It was very relaxing and the boat captains very entertaining, too.

carriage ride & harbour tour - Well worth $/time

We took the boat during a windy rainy day. We did not get to see much but the announcer was fun to listen too and the deck hand was very friendly and helpful. We had a blast! The carriage ride was the next day while the sun was out. It was fun and very informative. "Bob", the horse was very good so was our guide! We learned a lot about Charleston and it's history. Fun fun, I highly recommend both! Oh and parking for both was easy too!

A great way to see the city

I booked this tour for my friends who were travelling with us and had never seen Charleston. What a great idea- We took the harbour tour first- Our tour guide was very informative -easily heard and understood We took the carriage tour a couple days later-this was a nice feature-the ability of taking the tours on different days-again, our guide was very well versed in the history of Charleston. My friends commented that these tours were the highlight of our visit . We would highly recommend this activity. A final comment- the ease of purchasing the tickets, finding the locations and friendliness of our guides all added to the enjoyment. Thank you.

Combo Ticket Worthwhile

We definitely enjoyed our combo of carriage ride and harbor tour and thought that it was well worth the combo ticket cost. Our guide on the carriage tour was very personable and had lots of interesting info to share. He had an amazing rapport with his horse also. We enjoyed the 90 min. harbor tour, liked the historical info that our guide offered but also appreciated the quiet time when we could just sit back and enjoy the weather and the views.

Enjoyed the tours very much

We took the boat cruise and the horse drawn carriage ride. We had people in our group from 19-88 and everyone enjoyed both tours. We especialy liked the carriage ride. Both tours were informative and comfortable. We felt the length of the tours were just right and the package deal was reasonable. I have visited many of the sights in Charleston and thought that this tour was the best by far. I will definitely recommend this tour to anyone that I know is planning a trip to Charleston.

Easy andReassuring

The process was simple and quick. I really appreciated the follow-up phone call to confirm. I have signed up for reservations online, only to discover later that it was not processed, so it was reassuring to have an actual person call and touch base. When I picked up my group tickets, the representative at the venue acted as though she had all the information that she needed and was expecting our arrival.

Good Tour
Sat, Aug 30, 08   11:30 AM gjohnson0315 Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The harbor tour was good. The tour guide provided interesting facts and passed by interesting places to include Ft Sumter. The carriage tour was great. Interesting facts and there are several routes that can be taken so I can't speak to all of them.

Our experience was Fantastic!
Tue, Aug 5, 08   11:30 AM eagle13wings Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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.

Loved the carriage ride, harbour ride was fun
Sun, Aug 3, 08   11:30 AM dianelavazza Female 50-59 Local Individual
My Son and I took this trip together and we both agreed that the carriage ride was the better of the two. Our guide Rebel (girl) was so informative and delightful. The horse named Chief was gentle and gave us a good ride. I will go again with my husband and hope to get the same girl. There are about 5 different routes that can be taken and they are done on a lottery style system. We toured the oldest part of the city and it was full of history. Next I would love to tour the battery. We liked the harbour tour also but felt that for us the carriage was the best. I would definately recommend both tours!
