This was a great one hour tour around Charleston. Our guide was super knowledgable about the area and its history......pointing out things about history, architecture, art, law, religion, etc.. The horse, Ashapoo (?), was great. I would recommend this tour to anyone. More

It might seem a bit expensive, but it would be difficult to walk to all the areas that you see. You get a bit of history, some stories and some humor thrown in for good measure. I found it very enjoyable. More

We got lucky by getting a voucher for "1 free ride" when we booked our hotel. One rider is $22.00! I feel for about an hour thats a little high... Over all our driver Shane and his partner Gibbs (the draft horse) were pretty good and knowledgeable about the history of Charleston and vinicity. They are limited to where they... More

The tour was interesting and a great way to see parts of the city. I was a bit annoyed that we did not get to pick the tour n which we went, but that was not the company's fault. Our guide John Polk was full of Southern charm as well as historical knowledge. More

Our tour was excellent and very informative as we rolled through the streets of history narrated by a great tour guide. His knowledge, cander, and with the luck of the draw from the lottery, allowed us to go to the Battery. Traveling past historic parks, homes, along the harbor and through the cobblestoned areas established in late 1700's through the... More

The tour costs $22 per person which was entirely reasonable. This has to be the best way to see the city. Our guide John Polk had a remarkably charming Southern accent with a wonderful personality to match. More

The tour was probably one of the highlights of our trip. Edisto, the horse who pulled the carriage, made the tour more exciting, and Patrick was a wonderful guide. More

My family loves going on historical tours, so I've done the carriage tours in Charleston many a time but this time was fabulous! Will was our guide and his excitement and sense of humor really kept my attention. He was interactive and told us what we wanted to know instead of just rambling on through a memorized speech. This tour... More
