Great staff, nice boat with plenty of seating options. Will take all of my out of town guests on this tour. Totally worth the cost and the time. Great job!

Overcrowded

The staff on this tour was fine and friendly and this review should not reflect upon them. I would think this critique more on the booking people. My party of six arrived early to stand in a very long line that became somehow bisected and we ended up having to watch people that arrived after us board before we could. We climbed the steps to find plastic chairs packed onto the deck so tightly, we could barely get into the row. Our party had to split up which was no issue, but some of our party ended up sharing seats with others standing above us dripping their drinks on us. It was so uncomfortable we eventually elected to stand for the 90 minute tour. Yes, there was seating on the lower level, but the lower level is enclosed by scratched plexiglass so pictures taken through it looked terrible. As part of a tour is to make the kind of memories you'd Like to remember, pictures are a nice keepsake. I will not be suggesting this tour to anyone, which is sad because the people working the ship did the very best with what they had. Thank you.

Just ok

The tour was ok. The boat was clean and certainly safe and seaworthy, but it was very crowded and hard to find a seat with a decent view topside. The lower deck had more room but was windowed off so you felt disconnected from the surroundings (the a/c would definitely be a plus in summer months).

The crew gave us a warm welcome and the captain had relevant historical information that he shared with humorous asides. The 90 minute cruise went by very quickly. The chance to be on the water in the harbor for that length of time is a memorable experience. Do not miss the opportunity to take this historical cruise.

A relaxing quiet ride around all of the Charleston harbor that included lots of information about the area being viewed along with fun & humor to keep the folks enjoyed. The staff was qualified, knowledgable & relaxed folks with their sense of humor. We enjoyed the tour around the harbor very much.

Very good and informative

We had just arrived in Charleston the previous day and had arranged to start our first full day with this tour. The tour was informative and we learned a lot about Charleston and it's historical past. We had been to the Fort across the river and this tour allowed us to learn more about the Civil War and other battles which have taken place here. The commentary was well informed and the style was easy to understand. I would recommend this tour to any visitor to Charleston.

Great History

The tour was very interesting as I enjoy the history of the areas we visit. The tour guide broke up the narration from time to time with fun little trivia and a prize at the snack bar for whoever answered first. Al in all a enjoyable tour.
