| 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. |

| 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. |

| Harbor tour was great, person doing the speaking had a great voice. We sat downstairs, we found it a bit stuffy before the tour ended. The datail you provide is great.
My wife and I loved the carriage ride. The guide was very funny. He told us interesting bits of information all along the trip. |

| We love Charleston and the carriage ride was a great way to see the side streets and beautiful structures that we would not have seen by car. Our tour guide was funny and a drama major in college. She made the carriage trip not just historical, but entertaining.
She even sang to us at the end of our tour!
The boat tour was a great way to see Charleston and especially the Fort. We did not care about going on the Fort tour, but wanted to see it up close. We went right by the Fort and did not have to get out of the boat!
I am usually not a carriage ride person, but highly suggest this tour. |

| The harbour tour was fun and informative. The crew was warm and friendly and the captain was funny and very knowledgable about Charleston. We took our two teenage kids on this and they really enjoyed it too. We took the carriage ride the next morning and it was very good too. We had a great guide who had lived in the area all of his life. I would recommend you go early in the day in the summer because of the heat. We were glad we did. This is an enjoyable, relaxing way to see the city. |

| I would suggest to wait and get tickets there, it is cheaper. Rather than buy on line. We had a great time and hope to revisit some time soon. |

| My mom, sister, and I went. We loved the carriage tour. It was excellent. The tour guide was informative and took us on a scenic house route. We loved it. The harbour tour was not to our satisfaction. The tour guide had a recorded-like voice that was not entertaining nor easy to follow. It seemed not real or enthusiastic. The boat was way too far out to view any of the houses or other sites the man was describing. The facts were not the most intersting. The tour also was a bit too long. We were really dissapointed. I would not recommend the harbour tour-however I would STRONGLY recommend the carriage tour. The combo pack was a great idea though, we just wish the harbour part was more worth the price we paid. |
