As you cruise through Charleston's beautiful harbor, view the elegant homes along the Battery and watch the sea gulls and the dolphins play in the harbor. Before you board the boat for Fort Sumter, your expert guide will give you an overview of the history of the fort.
Upon arrival at Fort Sumter, a ranger from the National Park Service will give a brief introduction to the fort. Your guide will be available for questions during your time at the fort.
After a leisurely boat ride back to the mainland, explore the old city. As you travel her streets filled with beautiful old homes, magnificent churches, and grand public buildings your guide will bring to life Charleston's role in the War Between the States. See the Battery which was fortified during the war; St. Michael's church where they painted the steeple black to escape the union bombardment; the site of the building where the Ordinance of Secession was signed; the Confederate Museum which houses artifacts from the war; and the Old Citadel.
