Explore historic downtown Charleston with a friendly and attractive guide, a beautiful horse, and a comfortable carriage for a memorable 1-hour carriage ride through history. One of the fun things to do when visiting Charleston is to take a guided carriage tour. Several companies offer guided tours of the historic downtown district. Most tours last around an hour and, during the tour, you'll learn about the history, architecture, and people of Charleston. The guides encourage passengers to ask questions, so this is a great way to get an insider's view of the best places to eat and attractions to visit.
During this night carriage tour, you'll learn about the old walled city, historic churches, the Cooper River shoreline, as well as the history of the city and the people who make up the “Holy City”. After a fun-filled day in the bustling Holy City, return to one of Charleston's most beloved sea islands for a relaxing evening. Please note that, once the carriage is loaded, the tour guide will head to a designated location where a random lottery system will be used to choose the route your tour will take carriage. To fully appreciate the Holy City, you must know its history, and a carriage tour of Charleston, South Carolina, is one of the best ways to learn.
Travel 30 blocks (more than 2.5 miles) of Charleston's historic downtown district and enjoy beautiful gardens, famous sites, antebellum mansions and distinctive architectural style, accompanied by stories and traditions from Charleston's 350-year history. Their custom carriages are some of the most comfortable on the peninsula, and their horses are some of the friendliest you'll ever meet. Charleston Carriage Works is located in the heart of Charleston's historic district, just a short walk from the best restaurants on East Bay Street. During horse-drawn carriage tours, you'll see several renowned historic sites and learn little known facts about the region's past.
This ensures that there aren't too many carriages in the same part of the city at the same time, which can hamper traffic. Enjoy Charleston at night in a private car with direct access to the wagons, perfect for small groups to see the “Holy City” at their own pace way.
