Horse Carriage Rides In Charleston, SC
Join us for a relaxing, informative carriage tour as we explore the heart of Charleston, SC! We’ll saunter through Downtown’s historic neighborhoods, where you’ll see the quaint cobbled streets and picturesque architecture that give the Holy City its unique charm. Your driver is a City of Charleston Certified Tour Guide with extensive knowledge of over 300 years of Holy City history, and your horse is eager to provide an exceptional carriage ride experience.
Please Note: Although we normally are able to provide blankets for touring in cold weather, we are not able to offer this service during the pandemic. Please feel free to bring a blanket if you plan on touring when the weather is colder.
