The web site was easy to use. The carriage ride I would rate an A+. Anyone that uses your service should be happy with the companies you use. Mike

We love Charleston and the carriage ride was a great way to see the side streets and beautiful structures that we would not have seen by car. Our tour guide was funny and a drama major in college. She made the carriage trip not just historical, but entertaining. She even sang to us at the end of our tour! The boat tour was a great way to see Charleston and especially the Fort. We did not care about going on the Fort tour, but wanted to see it up close. We went right by the Fort and did not have to get out of the boat! I am usually not a carriage ride person, but highly suggest this tour.

The harbour tour was fun and informative. The crew was warm and friendly and the captain was funny and very knowledgable about Charleston. We took our two teenage kids on this and they really enjoyed it too. We took the carriage ride the next morning and it was very good too. We had a great guide who had lived in the area all of his life. I would recommend you go early in the day in the summer because of the heat. We were glad we did. This is an enjoyable, relaxing way to see the city.

The narrator sounded like Jimmy Cagney, which was cool. The PA system did not carry enough volume for my taste. We sat at the rear of the boat and both my wife and I struggled to hear what was being said. Having been to Charleston several times over the years, we're fairly familiar with the history of the city so it was no big deal but if either of us had been first timers, it would have made the experience less enjoyable. The only othe issue was the woman "seated" in front of us who stood for the entire tour. Once my wife and I changed seats, she was fine and I didn't really care because I'm fairly tall and I didn't need to take pictures. Next time, well sit on the starboard side of the boat.

you can either make it a big, fun party with friends or quality time with family. It's a little pricey; the July 4th fireworks tour was $32.50/head (tho it included our favorite Home Team BBQ) and drinks were high (which we expected) but worth it for a special occasion. As a local, it's one of those things you don't usually do but are glad you did.

For our 36th anniversary, my wife and I wanted something special. We decide to visit Charleston again especially with the tall ships being in the harbor for Harborfest. When we dicovered that Charleston Harbor tours was planning a special harbor tour for the departing tall ships we jumped at the chance. We were able to get last minute seats through Zerve. Our four day stay was special with exploring the tall ships and experiencing their glorious history. The stay was near dream perfect with our harbor cruise on the Carolina Belle. Having been on the tall ships was special but to have been on the water with them as they left was awe inspiring. The captain of the Belle went above and beyond the call with the tour that he gave us. There were numerous photo ops and the time that he gave us with the ships left us with memories that we will share for years to come. Thanks to Charleston Harbor Tours and Zerve.

A pleasant evening

Although there was a tremendous summer storm just before boarding,once it passed we were able to take the trip. Home Team BBQ is always EXCELLENT. The Shrimp City band also always fun. I would have liked to have their music piped to the upper, outside decks so it could be enjoyed there. The ship's route was good; I would have liked it to motor a bit closer to Ft. Sumter and the Yorktown. Zerve offers a quick and efficient system for booking and printing tickets.

My husband and I enjoyed the harbor tour as well as the carraige ride! Very nice and informative. Remember to dress appropriately as the humidity is terribly in South Carolina!
