This private daytime horse-drawn carriage tour of historic downtown Charleston lasts about one hour and covers 25 to 30 blocks. The tour begins and ends at Palmetto Carriage Works' Big Red Barn, located near Market Street in the heart of the city. A professional driver and guide narrates the ride, providing information about Charleston's colonial history, architecture, local plants, and notable residents. The carriage passes by well-known sites such as Rainbow Row and Charleston City Market, where the carriage slows to allow passengers to view the area. The route also includes views of St. Philip's Church, the oldest congregation in the southern United States, and the U.S. Custom House, a building whose construction began in 1852 but was delayed due to South Carolina's secession and completed in 1879. The tour accommodates one to four passengers per carriage. The exact route is determined by the city's lottery system, so specific landmarks cannot be guaranteed. The tour operates in all weather conditions, so appropriate clothing is recommended. Gratuities are not included.
