We were in Charleston for a wedding at the Cedar room. We knew we would be close but it is literally across the street! Everyone was amazed by the location of our B & B. The home is beautiful and comfortable. They even had a first aid kit, which came in handy as one of us took a little spill on the streets of Charleston. The location is absolutely perfect!

This is the third historical carriage ride I’ve been on and by far the best! Kept the interest of five young children and the adults too. Highlight of our Charleston trip and less expensive than other carriage companies.

Very friendly staff. It was great to hear about the architecture of the city. There was so much information and the tour guide was awesome. And the horse was so cute. It would be good to hear some info on who was on the land before it was settled and more about civil war and emancipation. Easy to use this site to get tickets. thank you

Best Ever!!!

What a great tour!! We loved our guide and the horse!!! Go Greyson!!! I was with my (elderly) mother in law and my (disabled/blind) husband. Both thoroughly enjoyed this trip and your staff was helping with getting my husband on/off the carriage safely! I would recommend this trip to all. The guide was a young man that attends a nearby Christian College -- he was SO knowledgeable and fun!!! He brought the tour "to life" through his words and my husband saw it, verbally! Amazing!
