We recently took a horse-drawn carriage tour with this company (drivers and staff wear red sashes and confederate field caps ala The Citadel caof 1862) and were disappointed for 3 reasons: - We were sold the tour at the visitor center and thought we were buying a tour for 2. When we arrived at Old South, we found carriages which... more

While visiting Charleston in July we randomly picked the Old South Carriage Co. for our tour around Charleston and was more than satisfied with our choice. While waiting for the tour to begin we were seated on the carriage inside the cool stables, a welcome respite from the heat and sun, and were treated to a video tour of Charleston... more

Excellent!

Every year when I visit Charleston, I take the Old South Carriage Company tour and I have never been disappointed. The tour guides have been excellent. I always learn something new. It is a great overview of the city and a relaxing ride when you get tired walking. more

Had a great carriage ride on Easter Weekend. We had Colby the oldest horse that works the carriage ride which caused the ride to be a little slow but it was okay. The weather was beautiful and the tour guide was very helpful. Would definitely use again if ever in Charleston. more

We took the Old South Carriage Company tour during our recent visit to Charleston. What a great way to get an introduction to this beautiful city. Our guide took us all around the area, giving us insight into the interesting history of Charleston. We trotted past a house where some of Gone With The Wind was filmed. We got to... more

This was a great way to kick-off our visit to Charleston. The tour guide was very informative and friendly. It would have been nice if it went down Rainbow Row though. more

A friend from Charleston recommended Old South Carriage Company and I'm so glad she did. The tour was easy to book online and easy to find. Our tour guide, Rebel, was very knowledgeable and very entertaining. I highly recommend using Old South Carriage Company. more

This was a great carriage tour and we enjoyed the relaxing ride around the city of Charleston. We were lucky enough to get the tour that included Rainbow Row, The Battery, as well as several beautiful homes! Our guide was great and she was very well versed & seemed very educated on the city's history. Would definately recommend this Carriage... more

We had purchased tickets in advance from the visitor's center and arrived at the barn at the time we had been told they opened and began tours. There were a number of staff people around, but no one greeted us or even spoke a word to us (though they obviously saw us there). So that certainly caused intial concern. We... more

Our guide, AJ, was hilarious!!! He was also very knowledgable and such a sweet guy. He answered all of my questions with a big ol' smile on his face! It really is the guides that make the experience, and I think Old South has the advantage with him on their team! Also, I love the way Old South treats their... more
