Narrated carriage tour
See Charleston’s Downtown Historic District by carriage on a fully narrated 1-hour group tour. Depart from the Historic City Market and follow one of several city-assigned routes through historic streets.
Ages 4+ only. Routes are assigned by the City of Charleston at the gate, and wait times may vary during peak season and on weekends.
Full refund with 24 hours notice of cancellation. Full refund if the operator cancels due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. No-shows will be charged the full price.
No. The City of Charleston assigns one of four routes at the gate before departure, using a random draw.
Check in at the ticket office on your selected day before your preferred departure time, and you’ll be assigned to the next available carriage.
Tours depart about every 30 minutes. Hours are 9:30am–5pm daily during daylight savings time (March–Nov) and 9:30am–4pm daily (Nov–Feb).
My wife and I really enjoyed the tour. Our guide Jennifer was exceptional and very knowledgeable. One thing we didn't know was that a city official randomize the routes (there are 4 different routes) so the various carriage companies don't create a traffic jam. We will take the tour again in the hopes to see something different.
