This was a great family tour. The historic information provided was very educational and the Captain and crew were entertaining and accomodating.

the tour was very beautiful and probably very informative, but we unfortunately could hear very little from the rear of the boat where we sat.

I would recommend this tour to anyone for a spectacular view of Charleston Harbor and all the panoramic views! You get to see amazing sights steeped in the city's history! The boat is very nice as well with a snack bar if you're hungry and offers air conditioning on the lower deck which was nice on such a HOT day!! The only thing we did not care for was the narrator's voice on the tour; it was very droll and the narrator made a whistling sound at the end of each sentence like that cartoon character does on tv...LOL! Other than that, it is a great activity and well worth the money!!

My parents and nephew were here visiting from West Virginia. We decided to make the harbor cruise one of our outings. The cruise was one of the highlights of the week. I would recommend this cruise to anyone, especially for out-of-towners visiting Charleston. It is a relaxing and informative journey around the harbor.

We were able to see things in a short time which we did not have time to see from the shore.

Nice break from the walk

We have been to Charleston many times and thought this would be a nice break from all the walking. It was a chance for us to view the sights from the water. The only problem was there were too many people on board and we never really had a good view and could enjoy it as much as we would have liked too. They did offer snacks which was nice. It wasn't too expensive, however, I will probably not do it again.

Overall Positive but service charge too high

The tour of the harbor was well received by my group. I was surprised to find out that I would have made a better deal on the price of the tour had I simply purchased the tickets vs. buying through Zerve. Since I had a group, rate would have been $13.50 per ticket, however since I purchased through Zerve, my rate was $17.50 per ticket..$4 per ticket more! I think this is an unacceptably high premium of over 20%. So while I recommend the tour, you will be better off purchsing directly from the tour company.
