Kevin served as a fantastic tour guide. His extensive knowledge was evident, and it was clear that he has a genuine passion for his work and the horses.
This experience was likely the highlight of our trip to Charleston. Our driver skillfully maneuvered through the streets while sharing engaging insights about the city's history, architecture, and fascinating personalities.
After some travel fatigue, taking a carriage ride tour was the ideal way to familiarize ourselves with Historic Charleston. Our guide shared interesting facts and highlighted the excellent care provided to the horses.
This experience was fantastic, highly informative, and enjoyable. I gained a lot of insight into the history of Charleston. We even chose to do it twice while we were visiting.
This was an excellent way to gain an overview of Charleston. Our guide Ian was very knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humor. I appreciated the information he shared throughout the tour. Clint, our horse, offered a smooth ride. We would definitely do this again.
I found the tour to be disappointing. Our guide frequently turned around to check on Charlie, the horse, which caused us to miss parts of his commentary. We didn't cover much ground and mostly stayed near the city market. Additionally, we never visited the Rainbow Row houses, a highlight of Charleston, and it turned out that at least half of our large group missed this landmark. There’s a noticeable shortcoming in these tours, so I suggest looking for another company if you want to tour Charleston.
The tour provided a wealth of information in a short timeframe, and I appreciated the pace. The staff was also very accommodating.
What a fantastic way to explore the city! Our guide Evan was not only hilarious but also engaging and wonderful. Our horse, Isaiha, was full of character as well.
We enjoyed an excellent ride. The company was professional, and our driver, Luke, was not only knowledgeable and courteous but also quite funny. Isaiah, our horse, was intelligent, easygoing, and truly dedicated to his work.
The tour guides were excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring Charleston, a city rich in charm and history.
