It was a great experience. The drive was a little longer than expected cause we didn’t get back in time to do historic tour but that was ok because we had overbooked tours so we saw it anyway. The garden and home are beautiful but we needed bug spray for the mosquitoes. The tour guides were very good. Enjoyed it all.

When planning the first, second, third, or twentith trip to Charleston, be sure to begin with a carriage ride. The information is different and just as informative with each driver. It is well worth the money to get information on newly discovered history and other areas of the city outside of the french quarters.

I had a great experience. the guide was awesome and his knowledge and wit were amazing. so glad to learn of the care for the horses. everyone i came in contact with were so nice. will reccomend to friends if they go to charleston to be sure and take the tour.

A must do to see Charleston historic district. Open air, in a delightful carriage. Learning history while seeing iconic architecture. A perfect experience for all ages.

We had very interesting and entertaining guides. This is a wonderful tour....very relaxing and informative. And the bus was very comfortable.
