We've been to Charleston and have done various tours in town so was looking for a different type of tour. I was so happy to have found this one. The tour was wonderful. It gave us a different view of the town and seeing the forts and the USS Yorktown. The guide was so knowledgeable and shared with us so so much of the history of what took place in the harbor.

We had so much fun! A lot of information and a great ship! The guide has a great amount of knowledge and I enjoyed his voice! His cadence and rate of talk was a little hard to follow (that’s why I only gave 4 points). I would recommend this excursion!

This was a fantastic way to see and "feel" the history of the harbor! We had a beautiful day under blue skies. The guide was very personable and interesting, talking for 90 minutes without missing a beat, including some of his own experiences in the area.
