Buying a package deal is the best way of getting your moneys worth. We would do it again if we get the chance. |

Nice boat ride (the captain was very knowledgeable about the area) and the carriage ride was also nice as well. Be aware that the carriage ride may already be booked full when you show up, so don't go late in the afternoon, or call ahead to put your name on the list. |

Charleston Harbor Tours provides what the name suggests-a tour of the Charleston harbor. Good views of Fort Sumter and the neighboring islands are available both on deck or in the heated lower level. Food and drink is also sold on the ship. The captain/tour guide gives a narrative on the history of the sights the ship passes near. It is worth your time and money to get this perspective on the city. |

We purchased tickets specifically to view the gorgeous mansions near Battery Park as was advertised. Unfortunately, we didn't even come close to seeing the mansions. The tour guide explained that he had to check in with the city before the tour and had to take us on whatever route they chose. Our tour was of the back streets of Charleston. It lasted about an hour and we saw a cathedral from different angles as well as many smaller old homes and a graveyard.But that was it. Nothing spectacular nor particularly interesting. The buggy ride was pleasant though. |

We were greeted as we entered. The actors were fun and actively engaged. Beer was not as cold as it should have been and rum was a very low grade. Price was right and we had a very good time. Once you purchase the tickets and parking, we should not have to have another ticket in order to leave... |

We started with the plantation tour. My only disappointment is that the house is "new." We enjoyed the ambience, the gardens, and especially the Gullah presentation. The house tour was lacking in that the house is not period and only a small part is open. The tourguide was very informative. We didn't have time for the coach tour but we will catch it on the next visit.
The harbor tour was well done, relaxing and very informative. The crew was very attentive to the needs and requests of the passengers. Overall, a very good way to 'meet' the city. We will do it again. I think the combination tour was a good value and I highly recommend it to anyone. |

The captain of the harbour tour was very entertaining and gave lots of history about the habour that was unknown to us, especially going to Africa from South Carolina.
My wife and I travelled from Central Florida and very much enjoyed the factual aspects and suggestions for popular hang outs.
The weather was great. The two mule driven carriage was great, the driver knowledgable. |

This cruise was one of the major highlights during our stay in Charleston. To my surprise, the band really played real blues music music. The length of the cruise was just perfect and the time of the evening was also great. I arrived a day early in order to make the cruise and was not disappointed at all. If you like blues music, you will love this cruise and the band was just super. Cleve Haynes from Ft. Washington, MD |

Seeing Charleston by water and carriage

I'm a friendly sort. I grew up on the Canada's East Coast so saying hello and greeting most folks with a smile is common practise for my kind. While I was absolutely charmed by the city, awed by it's tremendous history and absolutely blown away with the knowledge and enthusiasm in which these tour guides introduce you to their city, I was less than impressed with the tour operator's front office staff. No words of welcome, no thanks for choosing us and absolutely positively no offer of "have a great day". What saves this team are the tour guides themselves both on the water and in the carriage. They have tremendous personality and a knowledge of the history and the area that is second to none. If you're looking to see and learn about the Charleston area then go with Charleston Harbour Tours - the guides will not disappoint you but stay out the main office if you can! |

This is my 3rd time for a Blues Cruise with Shrimp City Slim and Home Team aboard the Carolina Belle. Great fun always and especially on the 4th - the fireworks were spectacular. |

We had an informative, comfortable harbor tour. The captain seemed to be very knowledgable and the boat was more than adequate. It could, however, use a few coats of paint and an interior upgrade. We also enjoyed the carriage ride. The mules were well behaved and provided a fun ride. The "driver" was very good and had a deep knowledge of Charleston and its history. |
