Charleston Harbor Tours

This is an excellent overview of the important places in and immediately around Charleston.

A fantastic activity and an excellent way to gain information about Charleston. The reservation process was simple and there was plenty of parking.

This was an outstanding experience. One couple in our group had never been to Charleston before and this was a great way to introduce them to the geography and the general layout of the city. Additionally, the food was OUTSTANDING and the band was top notch. All in all, this was a very enjoyable experience and will recommend it to anyone who asks in the future.

a great time was had by all. the trip was very enjoyable. the captain and his crew could'nt have been nicer. it's the best deal in charleston for the money. a fun trip for all ages, very educational and historical. relaxing, in the beauty of charleston harbor as life goes on all around you. we look forward to our next adventure. thanks for the memories.....

This was the first activity I did upon arriving in Charleston and what a great introduction! The people on the boat are very friendly and ready to answer any questions you might have. From the deck you'll have a great view of pelicans diving into the harbor and dolphins surfacing every so often. The boat provides an excellent point for taking pictures of Charleston, Fort Sumter, USS Yorktown, and especially the amazing Arthur Ravenel suspension bridge! I highly recommend this activity for all ages on your next visit to lovely Charleston!

The harbor ride was informative, relaxing and interesting. The narrative provided by the captain was entertaining and easy to hear all over the ship. The carriage ride was also informative. The driver asked where we were from and when he found out I was from Ohio, he used that as the brunt of quite a few anti-northern comments which I'm sure he meant as jokes. By the end of the ride, the humor had worn thin and I wanted to tell him ..."You lost the war, get over it." But I didn't. I must say thought that his comments spoiled much of my enjoyment of the ride.

Tour was excellent. Need to supply directions as to where you can park a car. Tour guide gave great explanations and was very entertaining. Also need better signage directing passengers to boat.

To be able to see an historic city from two perspectives painted a much more complete picture than either one could individually. Both tours followed a planned route, I am sure were traveled 100s of times before. In spite of this, both tour guides where still very interesting and informative. Of the two, the carriage ride was more fun. The reason (I believe) was because the group was much smaller and the guide spoke directly to us and could interact with us. On the harbor tour, the guide spoke through a PA system, although I understand why. We had perfect weather for both tours, which made them easier to enjoy. A day that is warm and sunny with low humidity and calm winds (what we had) is ideal. Check the weather forecast before you book. Booking both tours at the same time saves you a few dollars per ticket. We did the harbor tour first. The tour company provided a voucher for the carriage tour. This permitted us plenty of time to take a nice leisurely lunch break in between in a restaurant within walking distance of both tours. The carriage tour office is located in an historic part of town with narrow streets and little obvious available parking to a non-local. A bonus with the carriage tour included free parking (in a private lot) with enough time afterward to do some shopping. My family has vacationed in North Myrtle Beach for the past 20 years. Every year we talked about seeing Charleston. Now that we finally have, I am so sorry we waited so long. It is a beautiful city full of very nice people. We had a wonderful time.

We were unable to attend. After purchasing the tickets online we found out that a member of our party had cancer and needed immedicate surgery. I called the agent that handled the payment on-line and was told that all they did was process the payment and that I needed to talk with an agent at the tour company. I called several times and left messages each time for someone to call me but I never received a call back. As much as I am sure I would have enjoyed the tour I wlll never recommend your company to anyone and it showed me that you are better off to buy the ticket in person rather than on-line. Hopefully, in the future you will be responsible enough to listen to messages and return calls. I really hope everyone in your family remains healthy and you are not faced with the future we are sure to have.

We had several hours to kill and a tour of the harbor was a good alternative to shopping. It was a nice day, without a lot of rock to the boat so it was a comfortable ride in plastic porch chairs. There is a snack bar but we didn't bother using it. The captain's narration about Ft. Sumter and Ft. Moultrie were the interesting part of the tour. I would have welcomed more information during the 15 minute lull when we headed back to the high rise Cooper River bridge. Most people eat up history trivia. It's easier hearing it than reading a book. The price was fair for the time, about 90 minutes, and certainly a lot less than taking a half day boat or sailing tour. In the fall or spring, you will probably need a light jacket or fleece but you won't get wet, especially with an indoor cabin if the weather goes south. We sat on the forward deck to take full advantage of the breeze.

a good time had by all would go again but next time we will set in the frount or bow.

Took the combo tour - the boat part of the tour was boring and not all that informative. Would not recommend this to anyone. Waste of money, Now, the carriage tour was great. Very informative & enjoyable. The carriage part of this tour was so good we intend to go back next spring and do it again..

The boat captain/narrator was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It didn't hurt that the weather was perfect that day! We got great views of everything around the harbor along with a nice cool breeze, clear sunny sky, and lots of great stories about the local history and lore.

I wanted to go a again the next day but we had other activities to do. I think for the money, it is a real value and very informative.

This was a very interesting, informative and enjoyable tour. The guide provided pertinent, interesting facts about what we were seeing. Friendly staff.
