We had some wonderful experiences in Charleston but this was by far our favorite! Eric was great; informative and very funny. We learned so much pirate history in addition to general history about Charleston - we were blown away with his knowledge! You won't have fully experienced Charleston without taking this tour! 

Business response:

Honored that our tour was your favorite experience! Thank you for posting.

My boys (5 & 6) had a blast on Sabrina's treasure hunt tour this past week! They loved searching around the park and running off to the next clue! As parents, we enjoyed the humor as well, which sometimes flew over the kids' heads! The kids were so excited for their treasure and haven't taken off their shark's tooth necklaces since then! Thanks for the fun time! 

Business response:

Glad your family had a good time! Thanks for posting a review.

Had a fun evening exploring Charleston's pirate ghosts haunts. Sabrina was delightfully funny as well as dramatic when sharing the ghost stories. Great evening!

We had a wonderful experience on our pirate treasure hunt tour. Our children had a great time following the clues and finding the treasure. Sabrina was a wonderful tour guide. She kept our interest as well as our children. She knows a lot about pirate history and answered any questions we had. 

Business response:

So glad you and the kids had fun! Thanks for posting.

Charleston Pirate Tours was the highlight of our trip! Our oldest daughter (age 13) showed up dressed as a pirate (corset and all) and asked a lot of questions. Eric answered them all and then some. I've been to Charleston many times and had no idea about the rich piracy history. Now I do! If you have older and younger kids, divide and conquer. Send kids under age 10 Sabrina's way for the 1 hour tour and kids over 10 Eric's way for the 2 hour walking tour. The timing works out perfectly . I'll post pictures as proof or fun t... read more
