| We enjoyed the cruise. More for adults with a lot of information. My six year old was bored before it was over. |

| We really enjoyed our boat ride around the harbor and Ft. Sumter, etc. It lasted just the right amount of time, about 90 minutes. There was no problem getting to the restroom and the bar ( I had a nice Zifandel) was an added bonus!!! |
|
it was good for the money.

| The Charleston Harbor Tour was a great thing to do while vacationing in Charleston. It takes you on a tour of the harbour and shows you the sites from the water while giving you history and background. You also might have the opportunity to see the dolphins swimming next to the boat. It is priced at a rate that makes it affordable for all. I definitely would recommend this to all vacationing in Charleston. |

| The narrator sounded like Jimmy Cagney, which was cool. The PA system did not carry enough volume for my taste. We sat at the rear of the boat and both my wife and I struggled to hear what was being said. Having been to Charleston several times over the years, we're fairly familiar with the history of the city so it was no big deal but if either of us had been first timers, it would have made the experience less enjoyable.
The only othe issue was the woman "seated" in front of us who stood for the entire tour. Once my wife and I changed seats, she was fine and I didn't really care because I'm fairly tall and I didn't need to take pictures.
Next time, well sit on the starboard side of the boat. |

| We had fun on the 4th of July tour. Get there early to get a good seat on top! The kids really enjoyed the boat, the bbq was tasty, and the cash bar provided sustenance for the parents. ;) |

| We were really excited about our fireworks cruise. When we got to the boat, even arriving early, there was a huge line to get on. It seemed like they really over booked. You couldn't move around anywhere, and we had to stand up for 3 hours. We had to stand by a trash can to fit on the top deck. The cruise itself was okay, but we wish there had been some kind of commentary as we were seeing. We were tourists and had no idea what we were looking at half the time - it was still pretty. The actual fireworks were amazing - our position by the trash can really worked out well. Overall, not terrible, but it would have been nice if they hadn't tried to cram so many people on board. |

| you can either make it a big, fun party with friends or quality time with family. It's a little pricey; the July 4th fireworks tour was $32.50/head (tho it included our favorite Home Team BBQ) and drinks were high (which we expected) but worth it for a special occasion. As a local, it's one of those things you don't usually do but are glad you did. |

| My Mother and shared a wonderful memory in the very charming historical city of Charlestown, aka, Charleston.
So many informative points of interests brought to our attention by the narration of a knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide.
I would highly recommend the Harbor Tour for anyone visiting Charleston. It is 90 minutes of relaxation, entertainment and education combined.
