Perfect trip to learn about the local history. National parks employee are very nice and helpful. The Fort is well kept with and the museum is well laid out. My 2 year a blast seeing and touching everything.
Our Captain brought the history of Charleston to life! He was informative and even threw in some humor at times. We went at sunset which I would highly recommend. We saw dolphins and lots of different birds. Overall a great time!
The most memorable moment during the tour was that there was more than 1 port in Charleston. Great time! .
Boat and crew were very professional. On time, friendly and the captain provided just enough information to keep it interesting without being annoying ;)
We had reservations when our son and fiancé were visiting. Everything went very smoothly, and we had a nice tour. It was chilly and windy so we sat downstairs which was enclosed, but everything was still very visible. Living in the area we had also previously taken another tour. I felt that there was a lot more info given on the bus tour. The Harbor tour was relaxing, and scenic….just not as informative, thus four rather than five stars. They had an open bar with snacks which seemed quite popular.
