| My Son and I took this trip together and we both agreed that the carriage ride was the better of the two. Our guide Rebel (girl) was so informative and delightful. The horse named Chief was gentle and gave us a good ride. I will go again with my husband and hope to get the same girl. There are about 5 different routes that can be taken and they are done on a lottery style system. We toured the oldest part of the city and it was full of history. Next I would love to tour the battery.
We liked the harbour tour also but felt that for us the carriage was the best.
I would definately recommend both tours! |

| It was a little bit vague on where to go exactly to sign in and pay, but a few questions asked and it was easy to figure out! The ride itself was very relaxing and enjoyable and the guide was excellent! The guides are very well-trained. The only bad part of the experience was the hot sunshine :) Other than that, it was very good and we would do it again! |

| I highly recommend the carriage tour. It takes you through different parts of Charleston and the guide we had was great. She seemed to know the entire history of Charleston and she was able to answer every question our group had. As for the harbor tour, it was OK. It was the only way to see Fort Sumpter up close though. Otherwise you just cruise through the harbor and see parts of various areas at a distance. The guide was great as well, very informative with a vast knowledge of history. If you're going on the harbor tour don't go on the 3:30 pm tour in August-too hot!!! |

Nice end to our Charleston stay

| We scheduled the combo tour for our last day and it was a beautiful way to go. The boat ride was interesting and a well-needed relaxing hour and a half. The only drawback was that it was hot hot hot, which isn't the tour's fault but did make it less enjoyable. We went directly from the boat ride to the carriage tour. That was truly the highlight. Our tour guide was phenomenal. I wish I could remember her name, but she's been doing the tours for 20 years and was interesting and extraordinarily knowledgeable. Her control of her carriage/horse was also amazing. I would recommend the combo tour either to get an overview early in a trip or to finish up a trip to get a different view and pull together the knowledge and scenes already experienced. |

| Enjoyed the Harbor Tour, was a good length at a decent price. Carriage ride was excellent, had a driver that was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Wish it was longer though. |

| The harbor tour was excellent. For once I could clearly hear what the speaker
was saying. There was a choice of indoor or outdoor seating which was nice
because it was a very warm day.
The carriage tour was wonderful. We had an excellent guide. Wish I could recall
her name. She was very knowledgeable and it was obvious that she enjoyed what
she was doing.
The combo tour was excellent. It was worth the price which was a real value.
I highly recommend the tour to everyone! |
