| Really wish the top deck had a canvas tarp for shade as the day was quite pleasant and I do love smelling the water but couldn't take 90 min. of sun.
The tour was on an metal ferry type boat with an enclosed air conditioned main floor and an open air deck with light snacks (dogs, crackers, etc.) & soda. The head was also on the top deck. Boat was clean and loose wooden folding chairs were provdied for cruisers. Good for all ages.
Detailed information was provided around the significant points of the harbor. Tour motored out to Fort Sumter turned back along eastern shore line for a nice water side view of the Air Craft Carrier Independence.
Crew was very polite and helpful.
Dock from land to boat is a little long if you have issues walking. Must be able to walk a metal approach ramp to decks and use stairs (has railings on both sides) in order to get from one deck to the other. They will fold and stow your wheelchair.
I recommend for a causual boat ride with history lesson. |

| We had family out from Seattle and we were disappointed that the ship didn't have a covered upper deck like the ship that takes you to Ft Sumter. So our relatives not used to the heat were really uncomfortable in the direct sun, although did go down below after awhile. But would recommend a covered sun deck! Other than that was a wonderful cruise and one I would do again. |

| I think it was a great tour and would do it again. IF small children were required to be seated at ALL times on the boat, and keep as quiet as they can while listening to the presentation. |

| The boat tour was super fun and educational, we weren't sure if maybe it would be a tad bit boring but it totally wasn't, i would highly recommend it, it is affordable, entertaining, educational and romantic. My boyfriend and I went on it as a date and we took lots of photos, saw some dolphins, learned about Charleston and had a blast. Go on this tour! :) |

| This tour was very interesting and provided interesting historical information of Charleston and some of the surrounding areas. It also provided some current information on different aspects of the city itself and it's features. This was very relaxing being on the boat in the water and I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants a laid-back informative tour of some beautiful sites! |

| Our whole group (5 people) thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Charleston Harbor aboard the Carolina Belle. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and the pace of the tour was perfect.
Seeing the area from the water lends a different perspective to the history of the of the Lowcountry. One can only imagine sailing into Charleston Harbor in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
Thank you from all of us. |

| Hallelujah!!! A wonderful LIVE tour of the Charleston Harbor. Almost all tours turn on a taped recording of that you are going to see. Been to Charleston 5 times and learned soooo much from this tour. Worth every dollar. Definitely recommend it!!! |
