Charleston Harbor Tours

boat tour good intro to charleston and its history. captain incorporates light humor and trivia in his narrative. Boone Hall was eye-opening and quite educational for those not raised in the South. Gullah presentation was excellent.

loved the all the tours.....tour guides were very informative, knowledgeable and we all enjoyed all three tours very much!

Liked the tour, very good in the hot weather, to get out on the water

Both tours were equally impressive. The guide on the carriage tour was very familiar with the city and had lots of interesting information to share. Our six year old became a little bored after about 40 minutes, but our 12 and 14 year old enjoyed it as much as we did. The harbor tour was great. We are able to move around the boat as we pleased, which was nice, considering it was about 90 plus degrees out. We saw several dolphins and were very entertained by the guide. Highly reccommended.

I recently had several friends in town, both from the States and Europe, and rather than spend a very hot afternoon tromping around historic plantations, we did this boat tour. Everybody was happy -- lots of historial information, got some sun sitting outside on the deck, and they got to see Charleston from the water. I would definitely recommend this for summer tourists looking for an alternative to hot walking tours around downtown or the plantation, as the price is comparable.

We had an excellent time and the harbor and carriage tours were great. They were very informative for my significant other that's not from this state and even myself that grew up here. I look forward to booking more tours.

Prior to my vacation in Charleston with my family which included 2 kids ages 6 & 7, I searched online for things to do and stumbled across this tour package. Not only was I very happy with the value I received for the tours we went on but the overall experience was as smooth as could be. I purchased and received my confirmation via e-mail. Upon arrival in Charleston I visited the Charleston Harbor Tours office which was conveniently located right downtown. The staff inside quickly acknowledged my confirmation and wrote up 3 seperate prepaid tickets for the Harbor Tour, Carriage Ride & Boone Hall Plantation. At each tour I simply presented the prepaid ticket and off we went, no hassle, no fuss. I'd definately use this service again.

My husband and I arrived in Charleston to celebrate our anniversary. The Sunset Blues and BBQ cruise was relaxing and refreshing. The peaceful waters were divine. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious with bbq, chicken, cole slaw and macroni. The sweet tea was the best imaginable. I would recommend adding a dessert. The band was engaging and a delight to witness. I would highly recommend and plan to return.

$40 a person was alot for some bbq an a blues band. Would have had a better time for half the price.

We had a lot of fun.. the cruise was calm, the food was good and the music was also very enjoyable. It was nice to hear some facts about the area as well as from the band singer. Everyone was very pleasant and most accomodating. I would reccomend a sunset cruise to anyone. The sunset over the water is amazing!

Our Harbor tour was really nice, especially with the air conditioned lower deck. The tour guide was great with lots of good historical data. The Carriage tour on the other hand was a pain....especially when the carriage company crowded 16 full size adults 4 to a seat with temperatures in the 100's. I sat on a metal rail for more than an hour as we bumped through the heat. They should make allowances for hot weather. We were packed like sardines. Very uncomfortable. If you take this tour, don't let them stack you 4 to a seat unless you have 2 small kids. The guide was very good, but his good work was negated by the conditions mentioned above. If you can afford it, take the private carriage and avoid the tourist trap and sweat, or just go in the fall or Spring if you can.

I never planned a trip that went as on schedule as our day trip to Charleston. There was no hassle at any of our stops. We did the Classic Horse and Carriage ride, then to the Harbor Tour and ate lunch at Bubba Gumps restaurant, shopped at the open market and ended our day at Boone Hall. Everything went great and the kids had a great time. Thanks again!

Was pleased with the tour, but unhappy that if I had waited to buy the 12 tickets I purchased and not used Zerve, it would have cost me less. The ticket price at the landing was cheaper and did not incl;ude the $2 per ticket fee. Thought you guys sort of ripped me off. Would recommend to other that they not use Zerve and just buy tickest there. Maybe you ought to offer a lower price on Zerve so that you don't stick it to customers who use that service!

Harbor tour had great information about Charleston and its history. The carriage ride was just a tour of one of the rich neighborhoods.

The trip was great and the staff fantastic.
