This one-hour horse and carriage tour in Charleston offers a ride through the Old South city streets with a certified guide. The tour begins at the stable, where guests check in, meet the Belgian or Percheron draft horses, watch an educational video, and board the carriage via an inclined ramp. From there, the carriage travels about 30 city blocks, following a city-assigned route near the City Gate by the Market to evenly distribute carriage traffic. Along the way, riders see historic homes, churches, well-kept gardens, wrought iron gates, and mansions with piazzas. The guide shares stories about Charleston’s role in the nation’s history while pointing out the many church steeples that have earned Charleston the nickname “Holy City.” The tour’s pace allows for a relaxed view of the architecture and gardens that reflect more than 300 years of history. This horse-drawn carriage tour includes commentary, the draft horses, and the certified driver-guide but excludes gratuities.
