OK But not exciting!

Kind of crowded. No interaction with the crew just someone that I could not see telling about the sites. Not sure if he was real or it was a recording. Sorry, just not what I exspected.

Relaxing and most enjoyable

We were 12 women from Florida traveling to Charleston for a Women of Joy conference. We had a free day and since I had done this combo before, I suggested that they might like to do it also. Everyone agreed to do it and everyone agreed that it was wonderful. Our tour guide, JB was funny and informative; we loved seeing the old houses of Charleston and the great gardens. The proximity of the carriage tour barn to the market place was very convenient. The boat ride of the harbor was very relaxing and also informative. Both events were perfect for putting us in the mood for the start of the conference that evening. I will continue to recommend this activity. Using Zerve to obtain the tickets made the registering process so simple and speedy--I would also use Zerve again.

The Carriage Tour is the best!

My husband and I had never been to Charleston. He surprised me with the trip for our 37th anniversary. We signed up to do both the Harbour Tour and the Carriage Tour. The price for the combo pack was well worth it! The Harbour Tour was nice to get out on the sun & water and see some sites. The Captain - narrarator was wonderful with a great sense of humor. We saw porpoise and the pelicans which were fun to watch. But the Carriage Tour was worth it and more. Years ago, I would not have thought much about looking at old structures, carriage might be fun but other than that, it would not appeal to me. But let me tell you that our guide Matthew, was the best. He had a degree in design and art, so all the elegance of Charlston was brought to life in his description of the different homes. I would assume that all the guides will tell the interesting facts of the old city, and when you really listen, you learn so much. Like the trademark of the black smith, Philip Simmons on the gates and fencing or why a fence was designed that way. It was just all so interesting! He recommended where to eat after the tour also and other places to see. It was a wonderful visit to Charleston!

Harbor Tour and Carriage Ride

Good value for the money. Only comment is that the Harbor Tour is a little long. Twenty to thirty minutes shorter would have been better.

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 Tour was great!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed both the boat and carriage tour. I would highly recommend it (and already have) to any families visiting Charleston. Even my teenagers (15 & 17) enjoyed the tour.
