| I thought the tour was very good and very informative. The tour guide/captain was very knowledgable of the harbor. The boat also appeared to be in good shape and safe. |

| I have lived in Charleston for a few years, but I had never been on a harbor cruise, so I treated my cousin to a cruise for her birthday. It was so relaxing to just sit and look at the sites and to watch dolphins, pelicans, and sea gulls. The information was quite informative and interesting. I would definitely recommend the harbor cruise. |

| The tour offered a comfortable way for older folks to see and hear about the historical features of the Charleston Harbor. The dry humor and style of the commentator was entertaining, but a bit monotonous in tone. Getting off the boat was a challange for the elderly since the tide had risen and they had to walk down a much steeper ramp to get off than they did to get on. The AC was welcome on a very hot day. |

| The Harbour tour was very informative and the guide very entertaining I just thought
it would have been better to have a stop such as a stop on Fort Sutmner instead of having to take another tour to see Fort Sutmner. It should be combined as a Harbour tour and a stop at Fort Sutmner with a tour there and then back.
Also more parking required in Charleston if you just want to walk around. |

| We were looking forward to seeing the Battery from the water, which was the reason we booked the tour. The only photo opportunity of the Charleston skyline was when the boat was leaving the dock. Views of Fort Sumter and the Ravenel Bridge were great, however, and the narrator did a good job. It was a very warm day and the inside seating provided no relief from the heat. Compared to other water tours we have taken in numerous cities, this one ranks low. |

| We took a tour on a small air conditioned bus, (A MUST), in the morning and it was excellent, Adventure Tours. Our guide Judy was excellent and fun. She provided a lot of history and facts. To round it out we took the Harbor Tour in the afternoon and it provided a different perspective from the water. The Captain and his crew were great. The Captain's description of various places and sites was excellent and different then the morning tour. We highly recommend the back to back. Great pictures but make sure you bring your telephoto lens! The best was the Jimmy Buffet music, a cold beer and cruising one of the US's most interesting harbors.

| I enthusiastically recommend the Historic Charleston Harbor Tour. Don't be fooled into thinking you have to be on the BIGGEST- PRETTIEST boat. In all honesty, this may not have been either of those things- but it was air conditioned below deck & it had a mini bar above deck- with tables, friendly staff & plenty of seating. The boat was great! The tour was beautiful- you will see everything you wish from historic homes to Ft. Sumter to the Ravenel Bridge to the USS Yorktown. It was the perfect amount of time & just at little more than 90 minutes. Even more appreciated these days- they took off on time, as scheduled. The narrator, if you will, was very informative. I have lived in Charlotte for 12 years & have visited my father in law in Charleston for just as many yrs. I've heard all the tours, seen all the sites. I took my mother who'd never been there on this & she ATE IT UP. Go- the price couldn't be better either. You'll love it. |

| The tour was quite enjoyable. I grew up in the area and was visiting my family and tagged along with the group and am glad for that. |

| I highly recommend this tour to any first time tourist to Charleston.. The narration was first rate and very informative.. The 1 1/2 hour tour was very interesting and breath taking. |
