Charleston Harbor Tours

We did the harbor tour and carriage ride and was pleased with how easy the tickets were to redeem. Nothing complicated or too rigid.

We enjoyed the informative tour very much. It was good to see Charleston from the other side of Ft. Sumter.

A very enjoyable trip, with informative commentary. Highlights seeing the dolphins in the bowwave and the bridge - amazing close up. Well worth the time and money.

Enjoyed the harbor tour and the carriage ride. For older people, though, it was a bit long to stand to wait to get onto the boat. A few benches along the way for older people to sit while waiting to board would be helpful. The boat tour was fun and informative. The carriage ride was also fun and informative, but it was crowded in the back. We had four adults and it felt quite crowded. I would recommend only 3 adults to the seats, especially in the back row.

We had a group of twelve celebrating my mother's 90th birthday. Very friendly and accommodating. Had a great time and would recommend to anyone.

The tour was a good choice as we were short on time and could not spend the to visit the fort. I suspect if you took the Fort Sumpter tour as well, you'd seem many of the same sights (the bridge, patriots point, etc) but the abridged version was just fine for us. It was a pleasant trip, the captain was good, crew very friendly. It was certainly worth the price of admission and they offer a combo as well with a carriage ride if you like! I'd definitely recommend it.

Tour guides were interesting, full of information and fun.

The river boat cruise was excellent--duration, narration, location for check-in & free parking. The boat was clean, had ammenities, not crowded. The whole deal was especially good because of the flexibility--we were able to use our vouchers when we wanted. We drove to the pantation right after the riverboat cruise and did the horse drawn carriage the next day. The plantation is just a few miles from the river and carriage is downtown by the big shopping district.

My tour with the river cruise & carriage ride was greatly enjoyed. The staff on the boat were friendly, courteous, very knowledgeable And interesting. The tour guide on the carriage ride was humorous, also Very knowledgeable & courteous. I would highly recommend both tours to Anyone visiting the Charleston area. Also, the telephone operator for Zerve Was very helpful. He told us times, parking info and where both tours were Physically located!! Thank you!!

This was the simplest way to get tickets for all three. One stop shopping at it's best. The only tour we had to book a time for was the harbor one because they only do two tours a day and only a certain number of people can go each time. The carriage and plantation tour we could go when ever we wanted to on our own time schedule. We enjoyed all of the tours but the carriage was our favorite. We had a really charming guide that kept us very entertained.

The harbor tour was nice. It was hot and kind of breezy and we did learn a lot about the city. The men working the tour were very nice and did a great job. The plantation on the other hand was a complete waste of money! You only get to tour 3 rooms of the house, which it should state. When you purchase a "plantation tour" I expected an actual tour of the house, not just the dining room library and back room. We didn't get to see upstairs, the kitchen or anything really about how the people lived. The gardens were a mess, overgrown and not taken care of. The slave quarters were interesting, the highlight of the trip. The butterfly garden was not even open, which was not posted anywhere. We figured that out when we tried to go into it. The "cafe" was folding chairs and tables with 2 high school kids texting on their cell phones selling 2 month old freezer burnt ice cream in flavors no one would want to eat and $3 bottled water. Do not waste your time or money!!! Do the harbor tour but do not get the combo!!

Friends vistiing from Michigan and my wife and I who are local were very pleased with both tours. Both guides were very knowledgeable and all agreed the combo price provided good value. Will definitely use in the future to entertain guests.

got to learn some of the history of charleston harbor and saw som dolphins

Enjoyed both tours. Carriage tour guide was great!
