Carriage tour part of denied with utmost rudeness
Fri, Nov 28, 08   1:30 PM navatweb Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
I had bought the combo about 24 hours before we took the Harbor tour on Friday Nov 28, at 1:30 PM. The harbor tour was great and the whole family enjoyed it. After the tour was over at 3:00 PM, we drove to Anson street for our Carriage tour. We reached around 3:20 and showed the operator our ticket/receipt which we had received from the harbor tour operator. The Carriage tour operator told us that we had not booked a specific time and that she was booked for the day and that we should come back the day after! She moved away from us to talk in private with some "higher ups" and again told us the same thing. She also told us that she has checked with other Carriage tour operators and nobody had seats. After much arguing, she proceeded to refund us half of the money. We booked for about $123 and she gave us back $62 or so. This money was enough to take the tour with another company because there was no savings for a combo. We walked across the street to another tour operator. I believe it was Paw.. something. They readily allowed us to purchase the tickets for a 4:30 tour. We took that tour and enjoyed ourselves. You should better manage the combo. You should assign a specific time for the Carriage tour as well as the harbor tour. Or do something else, so combo buyers are no subjected to such rude behavior. And at the minimum refund the entire combo fee incase you are unable to honor your end of the bargain.

both tours positive
Fri, Nov 28, 08   11:30 AM TGNeff Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
Both tours are worth it, even on the same day. (The weather could make or break the boat ride. The winter wind could make it really uncomfotable on the water, and I'm certain Charlston summers can be unpleaseant too. We were fortunate for a sunny fall day.) The content of the tours is different enough not to be a concern. The carriage ride is prefered if you have to choose one, but with the combo ticket, the harbour ride is worth the additional expense. Guides gave useful interesting information. At each event, supporting staff was VERY pleasant to deal with.

Great Tour!

We loved it! The narration was informative and clear - both the current and historic aspects. The dolphin sightings were a big plus! Smooth ride, very pretty sights and just plain 'ol fun! We did miss hearing the trivia question, but we didn't know the answer anyway. Thanks for showing us all about Charleston!

We enjoyed our tour around Charleston Harbor
Thu, Nov 20, 08   11:30 AM chuckstert01 Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We rode the boat around Charleston harbor on a fairly chilly day but the crew on the boat made us feel like we were the most important tour group they had had all season. Although there were only 8 people on the tour we learned a great deal and saw everything we were supposed to see. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about the history of Charleston and what activities occur in the harbor dealing with shipping and other topics.

Subject to change.

As diesel prices have risen, the tour boat now has a minimum number to take on the harbour tour. This was not mentioned at the time of sale, nor was the number of ticket sold for the specific time and date. Unfortunately there were not enough people to take the tour, and there are no refunds.

We had a good time...on the Carolina Belle.
Tue, Nov 11, 08   11:30 AM JessKirb Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The harbor tour was great. It was much more informative than we thought it would be. We highly recommend this. However, please note something we did not know. If you plan on taking the carriage ride, tours stop at 4pm. We didn't get to take the carriage tour that we paid for because we were unaware of this.

Very relaxing and informative
Mon, Nov 10, 08   1:30 PM donnakrahn Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I believe my family took this same tour when my kids were young. I don't remember very much about the tour from years ago, so it was like doing the tour for the first time. My mom accompanied me on this tour. The staff was very courteous and informative, as they answered questions. The person narrating the tour seemed knowledgeable about the area, and presented the information in an interesting manner. We have done several city tours, so we enjoyed the opportunity to see some of the sites from a different perspective.

First I thnk that the harbor tour part needs to be explaned better in the fact that if there is less then 15 people that the tour will be called off for that time.
