If you’re planning on taking a vacation to Charleston, South Carolina, you’ll soon find out that there are countless ways to explore the city. With a city as vibrant, unique, and momentous as Charleston, there’s no shortage of things to do. But while many families opt to take a walking or boating tour to see the sights, horse carriage tours can provide a whole new level of appreciation in a city known for blending the old with the new.
Here are just a few reasons why you might find that horse drawn carriages are the best possible way to experience the old world charm of Charleston — or any new city, for that matter.
- They’re historic
There’s no better way to appreciate a historic city than through a historic means of transportation. The city of Charleston was founded in 1670 and has over 300 years of fascinating history. Horse drawn carriages are also a classic mode of transportation that can actually be traced back to the ancient Egyptians and Romans. While those chariots and early carriages aren’t quite the same kind we use today, you’ll truly feel transported back in time when you take a carriage ride through the heart of Charleston’s Historic District. - They’re romantic and fun

With so much to see, there’s sure to be something to capture the attention and imagination of every passenger. - They’re relaxing
You deserve to get some rest on your vacation. But many folks find that there’s a lot of pressure to rush around the city. This doesn’t give you much of an opportunity to actually enjoy yourself! But when you’re on one of these horse tours, you get to sit back, relax, and take in everything around you. All you have to worry about is keeping your eyes and ears open. Safety and satisfaction are part of our mission, and above all, we want you to be able to enjoy your time in Charleston on our carriage rides.
