| My husband and I were looking for a way to soak up Charleston as much as possible on our weekend vacation with our 11-month-old. The combination of the harbor and carriage tours was perfect. Both tours were relaxing yet very informative and interesting. I felt that both guides were knowledgeable, professional, and entertaining. It was perfect for our desire to learn a lot about the area in a short period of time. Even our daughter loved seeing the water and several dolphins, and was greatly captivated by the mules on the carriage tour. They were both very enjoyable! (The boat had a lower deck as well that was enclosed that allowed us to take our daughter there to get out from the sun periodically and have her walk around.) |

| The harbor tour was nice. I have two minor complaints. The guide on the harbor tour had a voice that was annoying in that it was "sing-song". Other than that, he was quite good. The second complaint is that the snack bar wasn't open very long. It was very hot, and we were thirsty.
The carriage tour was fabulous! The guide was a well-spoken man who was obviously well-versed in the history of Charleston. He was quite pleasant and amusing. I was happy to see so much of the city. |

| I am not a history buff and found it to be boring in school but these tours were anything but boring. Imagine sailing down the Carolina coast with a refreshing drink in hand, taking in the sights while the narrator teaches you about Charleston's rich history. It was truly an enjoyable, educational, and relaxing experience! Bring sun screen! And if you don't like the heat beating down on you, you can go downstairs in the air conditioned room, have a seat, and enjoy the tour in air conditioned comfort.
I really enjoyed the carriage ride. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and answered all of our questions. This tour was truly a learning experience in that we learned about Charleston's war hero's and passed inches away from where they lived. Some of the things we learned were astounding! You really must take this ride!
The seats were very comfortable too. |

| We enjoyed this first sightseeing trip to Charleston, SC. Taking the combination boat
tour/carriage ride tour gave us a harbor/land view of the city. We learned a lot of American History about the port.
We would gladly do it again! |

| The harbor tour on the Carolina Belle was great! Everyone that worked on the boat was very friendly and the boat got very close to the things you wanted to see. I have been on the Spirit Line harbor cruise and you never got close to anything, the staff was ok but the tour was done by a recorded tape which you couldnt even understand. The Carolina Belle tour was given LIVE by the captain and was easy to understand! If you want an informative tour, make sure you only go on the Carolina Belle, not the Spirit Line.
As far as the Carriage tour, this time we went with the Palmetto Carriage tour. What a mistake that was! Our tour guide name was Matt, and he was rude to not only the people on the carriage, making fun of where they were from but he was making rude comments bout the out of state drivers, naming the state that my friends were from. He was not nearly as knowlegeable as all the other tour guides I have been with. We normally take our guest on the OLD SOUTH CARRIAGE COMPANY and have never been dissapointed!
So if I could suggest a tour combo I would say do the Carolina Belle harbor tour and the Old South Carriage Company carraige tour. |

| Both tours were great! We had never been to Charleston and wanted to explore as much as possible. The carriage ride took us inside the city and the guide was awesome he knew so much facts! When I returned home I was so informed. The boat ride was great as well. During the whole ride the captain narrated the tour and there was so many dolphins!!! When we return we will do it again! |

| We took the Charleston Harbor cruise and Carraige tour combo. Both were informative, pleasant, comfortable and reasonably priced. I would do it again!! I'm sure there is so much more to learn about the fabulous city of Charleston! |

| These two tours provided a nice overview of Charleston and the harbor. We learned more about the city during these two tours than in the remaining stay.
The people at both locations were welcoming and well informed. |
