Carriage Tours



What's more southern than a horse drawn carriage?  How about a horse drawn carriage giving you a fantastic tour of Charleston, SC? 

I must admit that it took me 9 years of living in Charleston before I finally decided to go on a tour.  And it may or may not have been due to having family in town and needing a way to show them around without hours and hours of walking.  And sadly enough, I haven't really done my homework on Charleston history.  


 
There are a few different horse drawn carriage tours in Charleston, but by far the best is Palmetto Carriage.  They take great pride in their job, they care for their animals, and overall they are just a great group of people. 

You get such an interesting perspective of downtown Charleston on your tour.  See all that Chucktown has to offer such as churches, mansions, southern gardens, parks and beautiful and historic homes.  Hear about the blacksmith who make most of the wrought iron fences in Charleston or the great earthquake that forever changed the city.  This is fun for the entire family!
