Reviews of Fort Sumter Ferry Terminal
"great visit with friendly and smiling speakers crossing to go to fort sympathetic we were lucky enough to see dolphins the fort is impressive with its history"
"The tour guides are knowledgeable, friendly and willing to answer questions. There is a great deal of American history in the harbor and fort. You get to wander the fort for about an hour to look at the grounds, artifacts and read the placards. The store and the museum at the fort are closed due to COVid. The ferry is large and has a/c and concessions."
"Great historic tours. A must see destination."
"Very cool place to explore. The history of the place is quite amazing. The price to take the ferry over is a little steep and the amount of time they allow you to visit knocks down the value of the trip, but even still I think it is worth visiting. Some will say that it's just a "pile of bricks", but I think by not fully restoring the fort it lends profundity to what happened there."
