We had Dillon as our tour guide and he was great. He has an extensive knowledge of the city and nothing threw him - we had to take two detours due to a bomb scare and he smoothly transitioned his talk to handle it all. He threw just the right amount of humor in and made a morning carriage tour... more

The guide was pretty good, service was pretty good but they put us way in the back on a carriage that was so crowded, my husband was literally having to hang on to his seat. There was so much chatter, we found it hard to follow the guide's comments. All the while, we were watching much smaller carriages go by... more

I saw another review regarding "Daniel" - we ended up with Daniel, and we were quite pleased. He had a vast amount of knowledge regarding Charleston's history and aspects of the different time periods that added color to the Charleston history. We were informed and entertained! We did the combo with the Charleston Harbour Tours for $32.50/adult and our 3-year-old... more

My wife and I took their carriage tour based on a recommendation from Ed Grimball, whose walking tour of Charleston was unfortunately booked full on the only day we could have gone with him, and Ed's referral was a good one. Simple sign up, relatively short wait time (abt 45 min.) for start of tour and during the wait, spent... more

This is the second time in a couple of years my family has gone on a Palmetto Carriage tour and we have not been disappointed. Our guides have been exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly, and you get a very full tour. Well organized system of signing up and boarding the carriage. As I had a 7 year old and a 16... more

My family & I chose Palmetto because we've heard such great things about their guides and about how well they treat their animals. We were definitely not disappointed! We had the best guide ever (Scott), and our tour was informative and extremely entertaining. I totally recommend using Palmetto if you want to take a carriage tour in Charleston! more

Make sure you DON'T get Daniel as a tour guide. We learned more about him, his friends, and his family than Charleston. The tours leave about every 20 minutes so if you are going to be in his carriage, request to wait for the next one. He even seemed bored with his tour. When my husband complained after the tour... more
