Fantastic tour

I bought these tickets for my husband's birthday and wasn't sure if he was going to like the surprise! He loved it and I had a blast. The harbour master was amazinly funny and providing lots of his knowledge along with great entertainment. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that is going to be in the Charleston area.

It's Okay

It's okay if you have never been to Charleston and want to get a quick view of the city by wanter. When I went it was a bit too crowded and hot. Did get to see a few dolphins (or porpoises). The time is a bit long and probably the tour could be done in 30 minutes less but I guess it's a slow boat. All in all I'd say go for it if this is your first time in Charleston. The city and houses from the water is certainly beautiful.

A very enjoyable evening. The music was great, the food was ok and the evening went well despite the temperature that evening. I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area as a great way to spend 2-3 hours in the evening.

Boat tour/carriage ride
Wed, Jul 21, 10   3:30 PM krankin Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We thoroughly enjoyed the harbor tour--it was the right amount of time, and we were able to get fairly close to Ft. Sumter and other sites. The ride was smooth, and the narration by the boat captain very helpful. We also enjoyed the carriage ride, but there are a couple of areas that we felt were lacking: 1) We would have liked more history of Charleston shared, including how it was founded and Civil War history in particular. 2) A more thorough discussion of the architecture would have been enjoyed because there were features on the houses and buildings that we were curious about. Our guide did discuss some of them, but it seemed like there was a lot more that could have been addressed. Otherwise, we enjoyed the slow pace around the city! It was much better than sitting in a bus!

I would recommend, this is guided tour by one of the knowledgeable captain in the harbor. You learn a lot in about hour about Charleston rich history. Riding was smooth and refreshments were available.

Delightful

Everything was well organized, done in a timely manner and a was most delightful trip. Though it was an extremely hot day, the breeze on the boat, with access to snacks and drinks, made it comfortable. The horse carriage ride was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this trip to others. The price was most reasonable for the service and pleasure received.

The tour was really nice. The ride was very smooth which was a suprise as it was a little stormy out. The history was informative and we had a great view of Fort Sumter. I even saw a dolpin! There is a lot of history and site seeing on this tour and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Value per dollar was not exceptional

If I have out of town guests the Charleston Harbor Tour is one of the first activities I usually take them to. It gives them a nice perspective of the city. It was raining on and off the day of our tour but I guess that was better than getting caught downtown without an umbrella. The boat was a little crowded but the crew was very nice and the captain / tour guide tried to keep things interesting. My only complaints were inadequate air conditioning on the lower deck, disorganized service at the bar and the somewhat high price of the tickets. As seniors, my wife and I each got a whole whopping dollar discount. What really ticked me off was the two dollar per ticket booking fee you folks at Zerve charge. Next time I think I'll go in person and save myself a few bucks.

Too much effort
Tue, Jul 13, 10   11:30 AM casimmons Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This Harbor & Plantation Combo Tour package was too much effort & cost to really make a good day trip. The Plantation was a 30 minute taxi cab ride ( 35.00 each way) from the Charleston Harbor. A combo package should include transportation even if it's an extra charge. When I add the 63.00 online price to the 80.00 in taxi & tip cost it would have been easier & less costly for me to book directly through my hotel. Not a good value & more of a hassle than expected!
