| I thought the boat and carriage rides were well organized. The tour guides for the boat ride and the carriage ride were very knowledgeable about Charleston. I especially enjoyed the carriage ride because the guide of that tour spoke a lot about Old Charleston (Charlestown). I felt, by listening to him, that I was going back in time to three hundred years ago. Learning about the charms and intrigues of the Charleston of the past was fascinating. I highly recommend the carriage tour.
The boat ride is also a wonderful experience. One gets to cruise along Cooper River and to see the islands surrounding Charleston in the distance. One will learn the history of how the Civil War got launched on this particular tour. |

| We did both the boat ride and carriage ride and loved them both. Everyone was helpful, knowledgeable, and very professional. We especially liked the care that was given to the carriage mules. We were impressed. The combo is the best way to get a great overview of Charleston! We can't recommend Charleston Harbor Tour and Carriage Ride enough! |

| The carriage driver was informative and knowledgeable. This was a good way to see this interesting city. However, we felt too much like sardines crammed into the wagon with so many people. Next time, we will take a smaller/private carriage ride.
The harbor tour was also very interesting, and a good value for the money. We went on a Tuesday, so there was not much of a crowd. |

| First I thnk that the harbor tour part needs to be explaned better in the fact that if there is less then 15 people that the tour will be called off for that time. |

| The weather was gorgeous so that made the whole experience especially enjoyable. For the last 45 mins of the tour; we were completely entertained by 8 or so Dolphins; who decided to follow the boat all the way back to the dock. We would defintely do it again. |

| my wife and i were in charleston on vacation. i recommend this combo pack. the harbor tour was fun but i recommend getting there a little early for a seat in front of boat. the carriage tour was awesome. it was very romantic wrapped in a blanket with my wife on horse drawn carriage. the carriage tour guide was funny and very knowledgable about charleston. we had a great time. |

| The harbor tour was scheduled for 15:30, Sat 11Oct2009. This was to be followed by the carriage ride. When we arrived at the harbor, we were advised that the carriage ride ceased operation at 15:00 and that we would have to return another day. Our visit to Charleston was for a meeting, making a return visit unlikely. The package was purchased via the internet from the hotel. It was either not listed or I failed to accurately see the conflict of the harbor tour and carriage ride times. As a result, we had to purchase a carriage ride from Carolina Polo Carriage Co for an additional 39.00$ (party of 3). I called the emergency number and was advised to contact the owner by e-mail. |
