Tri-Combo Tour: Harbor/ Carriage/ Plantation Tour

I'm a friendly sort. I grew up on the Canada's East Coast so saying hello and greeting most folks with a smile is common practise for my kind. While I was absolutely charmed by the city, awed by it's tremendous history and absolutely blown away with the knowledge and enthusiasm in which these tour guides introduce you to their city, I was less than impressed with the tour operator's front office staff. No words of welcome, no thanks for choosing us and absolutely positively no offer of "have a great day". What saves this team are the tour guides themselves both on the water and in the carriage. They have tremendous personality and a knowledge of the history and the area that is second to none. If you're looking to see and learn about the Charleston area then go with Charleston Harbour Tours - the guides will not disappoint you but stay out the main office if you can!

enjoyed the informative cruise, the shoreline was beautiful, the bridge is amazing.

I purchased the tri combo tour. We enjoyed the plantation with the beautiful banyan trees and the trolley ride. The boat tour was great with dolphins all around jumping out of the water. The horse & buggy ride, we didn't enjoy. We were packed like sardines into a carriage. There were 22 of us and 1 horse. We were too close together to enjoy the ride and I felt bad for the horse. I would recommend the boat & plantation tour but if you want a horse & buggy ride, wait till you get there to pick the carriage & horse. They had carriages that carried 4 people and this is what I thought I was purchasing. Charleston is a beautiful town to tour.

This was a good time and a good value. The Boone Plantation was a little disappointing. Not really a plantation house, but the grounds are beautiful. Harbor cruise was great. The carriage ride was entertaining and fun.

The tours were excellent and the tour guilds were friendly and very knowledgeable.

I definitely recommend the combo tour. All three were great and well worth the money. We went to the plantation first and our tickets for the harbour tour were required for admission. They gave us a pass for the tour but we had nothing related to the carriage ride except our email. When we arrived at the carriage ride they were extremely nice and it was not a problem. Would go with them again and take another carriage ride.

tour guides were very knowledgeable and courteous! be sure and see the Calhoun Mansion too.

While the harbor tour was a relaxing and somewhat informative, the real gem was the Boone Hall plantation. The grounds, Gullah presentation, and guides were superb.

My sister and I took my mom to Charleston for her 60th birthday. The tri-tour package was a great way to get an overview of Charleston. We felt that we got to see most of the city by doing all three tours and were able to spread it out over our 3 day stay. I recommend doing the boat first so you can pick up your tickets for the other tours. You will need a car to get to the plantation, but well worth the trip. It was nice knowing that everything was taken care of with one reservation.

Enjoyed all the tours especially the harbor tour. Each tour had knowledgeable guides about the history of Charleston. I would definately use them if I get a chance to visit again.
