I pulled up and asked if they had room for the next tour and the gal said absolutely. I was traveling with my elderly parents and they were excited about the carriage ride. When I went in to pay for the tour, I pulled out my Groupon I purchased for their company and they said "Oh, you have a Groupon."... More

Tried Palmetto tours but would have had to wait several hours for 2 seats! Went next door to Olde Town and were seated in a carriage in 10 minutes. Tour was narrated, of course and was very good. Our driver wasn''t named Cramer and the horse wasn't fed any Beefarino, so it was a pleasant ride! More

We had a wonderful tour from Olde Towne Carriage Company! I booked a private tour for 4 since we were traveling with my parents and they had never been to Charleston before. The carriage had 3 comfortable bench seats. Getting into the carriage is a bit of a step, but my parents in their mid 80's managed just fine. The... More

We had a wonderful tour with Ann and Henry. We got non stop info on the 1 hour tour but Ann was happy to answer questions along the route as well. Great mix of historic facts and folklore as well as how that relates to how we see Charleston now and in the future. As a history teacher myself, she... More

We've been on many city tours in places like Savannah, Chicago, etc., but this one was just more fun. It was conducted on a horse drawn carriage (dual mules actually) which was pretty packed but still quite comfortable. Not sure I'd be saying the same thing in the heat of summer, but in March it was fine. Our driver/guide was... More

Tyler knew his history (without all the jokes). No hustling at this place. You get the tour the City gives you, but ours was pleasant. Bill knows the way. More

Ann(e) and Bill were our guides for the day )Ann did the talking and Bill the pulling.). Ann was extremely knowledgeable about Charleston's history. She told us just enough w/o being too overwhelming and allowed us to ask any questions we may have. I highly recommend this company. More
