This company runs ferry services with tours of Bull's Island and St. Phillips Island, which I've…read morereviewed separately. Those are great. The company also run various canoe and kayak tours, which have been a bit of a nightmare for me. The Lowcountry wetlands are fantastic and demand to be experienced close up, and many of the tour options sound great. They run quite infrequently, and even when offered, have been unreliable in my experience. To some extent, this can be attributed to weather and varying demand, which is a hassle but is part of the business. Wisely, they don't actually charge you money until you are actually at your tour doing stuff. However, I haven't forgiven them for the one time I made an online reservation at the last minute only to drive to a site at 6 AM and find the tour was canceled, with no one around to answer the phone and an active listing still on their website. They were apologetic, but didn't really do much for me. When tours are unavailable, I keep getting calls asking me to reschedule for another day, which strikes me as tone-deaf. There may be a market of people who hang around waiting for a midweek spot to open up, but I would think that many of us are tourists who aren't there for very long (I'm rarely in Charleston for more than 48 hours, and it takes a lot for me to get there at all), and even the locals I assume must have jobs. If I scheduled for X day, I probably want to do something on X day. What's also irritating is that their website, while flashy, doesn't have a calendar. You have to search through a dozen infrequently offered niche tours to see if you can find something that's available when you're available rather than just seeing what is launching on the day that you're around and free. They really don't seem to get my needs in that regard. When I finally, after frankly a year of trying, found a kayak tour that actually fit my schedule, it was beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, and some hard work. Wildlife abounds, and my trip through the Kiawah River area yielded sightings - albeit sometimes fleeting ones - of everything from a roseate spoonbill to a dolphin trapping fish against an oyster bar. The people running the tours and the equipment are good enough, and while these things aren't cheap I still leave a tip. The scenery delivers, but this tour company hasn't always met my expectations. I'm just not aware of anyone else that gives you the same chance to see this particular environment.

I'm happy to say I'm bumping my review up from three stars to four after giving Old South Carriage…read moreCompany another chance. During my first visit to Charleston a few years ago, I took one of their daytime carriage tours and left feeling... underwhelmed. I didn't learn all that much, the tour wasn't especially memorable, and I wrote that I'd rather have explored the city on foot. Fast forward to my most recent visit when one of my friends wanted to do the Haunted Carriage Tour. Since it was something different, I happily went along and I'm glad I did. Our horse, Ron, was a 2,000 pound French Percheron and wow.... talk about a workhorse! From what I observed, the horses seemed well cared for despite the small stable. It was fun learning a little about Ron before we set off. Our guide, Matt, was informative, engaging, and did a great job mixing Charleston history with the haunted stories. While I'm not really into ghost tours, I still learned quite a bit. In fact, my favorite takeaway wasn't haunted at all - it was learning the difference between a graveyard and a cemetery. This tour also had a digital component as we were prompted to scan the QR code to see photos of the individuals/"ghosts" he was talking about. The tour also gave us another opportunity to see Charleston from a different perspective and this time around I enjoyed riding through the historic streets by carriage. Overall, this experience was much more enjoyable than my first. The company clearly has these tours down to a science and if you're deciding between a daytime tour and the haunted evening tour, I'd surprisingly recommend the latter. I'm glad I gave Old South another chance.

We purchased our tickets. They do offer discounts, so be sure to find out what applies to you and your group. We boarded the ferry. There were accommodations for people with disabilities. The ferry ride was fun. The tour guides who were 3 Rangers were very knowledgeable. We observed several dolphins frolicking in the water. Once we arrived at Fort Sumter, it was amazing. The Fort is in great shape and so much to see. They give you one hour before you will need to get back to the ferry. There is a souvenir shop for you to visit. Oh yes, there are accommodations for people with disabilities at the Fort. There is limited seating available at the Fort. Our ferry ride was just as fun heading back. Once off the ferry, there was the shuttle to take is to our vehicle. While in the area. Fort Sumter Ferry is a must visit! You definitely earned your 5-star review!

Found honeycomb cereal bits under chairs (we didn't have cereal); found a pacifier under the sofa (we don't have babies); the broken couches were propped up with stacks of wooden boards; and both ice makers were broken. These defects were open and obvious. Anyone cleaning or even entering the home would have seen/smelled (mold) the issues. They knew about the issues and still charged top dollar without regard for remediation. Upon arrival, management refused to give us a code to get in on the premise we didn't pay $1k in fees. Please note, this rental was $8500 and was paid in full ahead of time. Management changed after booking and fees were tacked on. Said they contacted our travel agent, but they had not. I stopped communication after they threatened to suspend our codes for access, having not even provided a mode for us to make the payment. Let them know all the issues that were when we checked out. They blamed me for not contacting them to remedy the issues during our stay. Frankly didn't want to deal with them anymore after our initial interaction. That notwithstanding, I asked how they planned to remedy mold, broken couches, and broken ice makers with us in the house. They didn't have an answer to that and ignored it. There were more issues, but these are the ones that will keep us from returning. Please note that I've never left a negative review. The homeowner needs to know what a mess their new management company is running.

The captain and staff are incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and go out of their way to help you in any way they can. When I first heard of the DI Ferry, I imagined a barge-like boat going 2mph carrying 50 cars on it. Wrong. Mega wrong. It's a private chartered boat that takes you to/from/around Charleston. Every single time we take the DI Ferry, we see dolphins. Every. Single. Time. It's so beautiful and relaxing to be on the water and really makes me miss my boating days. Also, for those who enjoy spirits, there is a nice bar on board as you're serenaded with beachy country and reggae music. 10/10 would recommend! You can't find a better (or less expensive) way to see Charleston as only a local could.
