My wife and I were very excited to go on a carriage ride in Charleston. I had heard great things about these tours. We did not look into carriers but instead bought our tickets from a man in a carriage, not realizing we should have chosen the company before just buying a ticket from the first carriage we saw. Anyway,... More

Fun ride with the sun shining on a Charleston afternoon. Very good carriage driver with 3 years of experience working the company's tours. She was very knowledgeable about city lore and did a great job explaining the sites while maneuvering the cart through the city. Although it was only April, all of the carriages were full, and for some people... More

Evans told us about the history of Charleston using his delighful humor. He made the homes and buildings come alive telling us about the people that lived and... More

My husband and I were in Charleston, SC for three days and knew a carriage ride was a must. We talked with a few people and they recommended Carolina Polo and Carriage Co. We found them and were so glad we did! We had the pleasure of meeting Evans, the tour guide, driver and entertainer! He was the best; informative,... More

Loved our carriage ride through Charleston. Although you might think that carriage rides are hokey or trite, this one isn't. We took a private, four-person carriage and it was really fun, interesting and worth the expense. Our tour took us through gorgeous neighborhoods and the main drag. Loved our driver and the experience!!

My 4 year old was so excited to be pulled by the Horsey, but fell asleep shortly into the tour.,. but was able to sleep without an issue... More

Evan was our driver and also a knowledgeable historian. Even though our weather the day we took our tour, April 5 was not the best, our tour was educational and entertaining. When we return we'll definitely take about tour of beautiful Charleston, SC!

Evan is the best. He is locally raised and knows his history. He also has a personality. As he says he has the "gift of gab". This was one of the best tours we have done because of Evan!!

We took a tour and had Greg as our tour guide. He is a history teacher so he brought a wealth of knowledge! Greg is wonderful and I would suggest you request him as your guide. We loved the tour so much we took a second one and had Steve who was very good as well but a little shy... More
