Sumter side trip
Great trip! I have wanted to see Fort Sumter for some time. Boat was clean and on time. I disagree with some of the other reviews which were critical saying trip was too short. I thought the length was fine. It is a very small fort and didn’t take long to see everything.

Our family of 3 enjoyed visiting Fort Sumter. Learning more about our nations history is always wonderful, even wars.
The ferry ride was fun, being the surrounding scenery with a cool breeze. The ranger at the fort giving the history of events, was knowledgeable and easy to understand. The museum was interesting and a nice refuge from the hot, humid weather.

Very nice simple tour....
Very nice simple tour. You will ferry to and from Fort Sumter. Knowledgable park rangers give great history notes and told the story of all the surroundings and how it shaped US history. Highly recommend for anyone interested in learning more and gaining an appreciation for the importance of these places.

Victor sent us to the wrong pick up location. Was told this had been a problem with others also.
Other than that experience was good.

I really enjoyed this experience. The ferry ride was quite nice and saw lots of dolphins. The history and preservation of Fort Sumter was great to see. We spent time in the museum which was great. I would recommend going in the morning on the 930 am to help with the flag going up. I imagine the last one takes it down as well. That was great!
