RecommendedI did the Children’s Treasure Hunt with my 7 and 4 year old daughters. They had the best time! They loved the concept, had a blast dressing up like pirates and joining Captain Sabrina’s crew, and my 7 year old even learned a bit about Charleston history along the way. The hunt lasts about an hour, is a great activity for 4-7 year old kids, and was entertaining for me and the other mom in my group.
Business response:
So glad to hear that you and the girls had a good time! Thank you for the recommendation!
It was a great tour Eric was awesome
Business response:
Thank you! Glad you had a good time!
I thoroughly enjoyed the Pirate Tour as did my two nephews (ages 4 and 7). Captain Sabrina was excellent and not only kept the kids engaged and in line, but also had some tidbits for the adults. As a local who grew up in Charleston, I was pleasantly surprised to walk away with historical tidbits I never knew. The boys are still telling tales of the "pirates of charleston" and showing off their treasure. Thanks Charleston Pirate Tours! We will be back.

Glad you enjoyed the tour! Thank you for posting a review.
We took my three little grandsons on the pirates treasure hunt. The six and four year olds loved it so much that they talked about it for days. The two year old enjoyed running around the park, so we felt that it was a great experience. My only qualm was that each adult was charged $12, which we felt was a little steep, considering that we were there just to supervise our little guys. Other than that, it was a great educational activity as well as a fun and well organized activity.
Business response:
Glad to hear your grandchildren had a good time. Sorry you felt that the adult ticket was too expensive. Most adults feel like they get their money's worth, as they enjoy the history that we share during the tour. We do have to charge for a couple of reasons. One is that we have to pay a per person fee to the city for every warm body on a tour. Two is that the city limits the number of people on tours, so we can't have a lot of no-charge or low-charge tickets.... although I believe that $12 is pretty low.
I booked the Children’s Treasure Hunt tour for my 3 year old twins birthday party after original plans fell through. Sabrina was very accommodating with less than 10 days notice. She even arranged for my girl twin to get a mermaid rather than a parrott balloon animal like everyone else- this was a huge hit as everyone wanted the beautiful mermaid then! Sabrina was very understanding and helpful with my group! The birthday party kept growing in size and with parents lingering and babies running in and out of the tour she was ... read more
