I went on this tour with my husband and our son, who is a College of Charleston student. It rained most of the time (this tour goes on even in the rain) but since it was not too cold, we were able to put on the hoodies and stand up front on the rail. The wind was exhilarating and the slow speed of the boat was very relaxing. The captain narrated tales of the battles fought on the shores and described the shipping functions in a clear and informative way. We all learned something and had a good time as well. I would not recommend this tour for very small children; it's too long to hold their attention and the one on our tour was vocal about her boredom. Hope to take my parents on this trip when they come down in May for graduation. |

It was a wonderful trip - thoroughly enjoyed the captain's presentation of the harbor and all of its wonderful historic features..Rained like crazy while we were out on the harbor but it was still a wonderful trip,, thanks to the crew and captain. |

I'm new to the area so this trip was well worth the money. It was very relaxing and I would go on another for the ride! |

We had 4 grandparents (youngest 70) and two 3 year-olds with my husband and I. It was very much enjoyed by the grandparents! Thank goodness I had brought toys for the 3 year-olds as they were not at all interested in the ride once the boat got going. If you have people with difficulty walking, this is a great way to learn about Charleston. The carriage rides are good as well but aren't climate controlled! |

Enjoyed the trip and the narration, learned a great deal about the history of the area. Only complaint is the seats below decks. I wouldn't want to sit on them much longer than 90 minutes. |

OK, so the captain and assistant captain were great. Weather was very good which provided for a enjoyable trip on the water. I would do it again. |
