We really enjoyed our tour of Charleston via carriage. Great guide, lots of stops, and he gave us a lot of advice on places to eat, etc. which we liked and took advantage of:) More

Well worth the money. Ride on a carriage for an hour and listen to the history being told by a wonderful Narrator. We mainly went through the French Quater area. More

There are a number of carriage companies to choose from and quite frankly they all look about the same @ the same price. Due to the large number of companies, the routes are assigned randomly by the city as you leave (literally using a lottery style of ping pong balls). The quality of the ride comes down largely to the... More

Our tour was great. We learned a lot about the residential side of Charleston. I would have rather of taken a more downtown route but the companies have no control over where they can go since it is done by a lottery system. Our tour guide did a great job and this activity is something you should do if you... More

I decided to do this our first day as a way of getting oriented and it turned out to be a wonderful idea. We had just six in our group and the guide kept us entertained the whole time. He was charming without being over the top and explained certain things in a way that was very interesting, like why... More

This was really a surprise. We did this carriage ride based on the recommendations even though I normally don't like horse-drawn carriage rides. I thought it would be too touristy but the guide we had was really into his talk. He pointed out alot of things we'd missed walking around the day before and the hour just flew by---we could... More

The $20 seemed steep at first but was well worth the price overall. The only draw back was sitting in the back, our daughter couldn't see the horse. Our guide Tre (probably spelled differently, sorry) was amazing. Very well informed on the history and traditions of the area. He was very laid back, funny, and really made the trip as... More

We took an hour tour with our 7 year old daughter and our tour guide held her attention the entire time! It was lots of fun hearing about the history and he made sure to show us things and give us information that is not plastered all over the vacation brochures. It was a little chilly but there are blankets... More

We took the Civil War tour with Matt who was just wonderful. He was a wealth of knowledge and spoke pretty much for one hour straight about the civil war. We stopped at some key spots along the way where he pointed things out to enhance his narrative. Our horse, Elwood was a gorgeous 5 year old Percheron. Matt also... More

I took a carriage ride from Classic Carriages with my parents and niece and nephew (third grade and sixth grade). The tour was wonderful. Our tour guide had a history degree from the College of Charleston, and knew a lot about both the city (including recommendations for all of the best restaurants) and its history. What I liked best about... More
