Very knowledgable, informative, and entertaining

Wonderfully entertaining. Our guide seemed to believe he was a talented impersonator! He had a wonderful personality and was quite knowledgable of Charleston. My wife and I had truly memorable experience. The carriage tour allowed us to see sights we mosted most wanted to pursue by way of walking. We highly recommend Olde Towne Carriage.

Nice way to get an overview of Charleston

It was fun to hear about the history of the houses, churches and the city. Tour guide was informative and funny. The hour went by really fast, we had a 10yr old, 6yr old and 2 yr old and they all enjoyed it.

Didn't honor our paid reservation

After calling to confirm our reservation (and having them tell us to come an hour earlier), we arrived on time and they said our tour was cancelled. I would not reccomend this company at all.

Very disappointed in tour and guide

We paid full price plus convenience fees and expected to have a good tour. Ended up with Chris who showed us some residences in Charleston. He was very dull and quite frankly we thought we would see more of Charleston but I think carriages are limited to where they can go. We were disappointed and quickly left the city after the tour. I suggest driving or another method of touring Charleston. Perhaps I would've liked Charleston more if I saw other parts of it.

Seeing the town with Harry (the horse)

Our tour leader Chris and his trusty steed Harry provided us with a very informative tour of lovely Charleston. It was obvious that Chris knew the city and its history well, and Harry knew the route. Our carriage fit 6 people comfortably (2 per row) so that there were no 'bad' seats for those wishing to take photographs. The entire Olde Towne staff was very professional, we'd made reservations online prior to arriving in Charleston, and the entire experience went very smoothly. We would recommend them very highly.

Informative, enthusiastic guide

Mary Margaret and "Chief" did a great job. It was surprising that the carriage tours are municipally managed and even the guide doesn't know which route will be assigned until the tour starts. That said, she did a great job and shared lots of interesting info with us. She was really enthusiastic. As a history major she seemed to have found her niche and was loving it. Old Towne seemed to be o e of the smaller companies but I cannot imagine a better one. Our group of five from two families including a 16 year old all thought it was great. Well done!

Guide was knowledgable and his demeanor appropriate i.e. pleasant, not a stand up comedian.

Great tour. Great and knowledgeable guide

This was our second tour. We first took a tour in March 2012. We wanted to repeat the experience and we were not disappointed. Both my wife and I strongly recommend this company to everyone we meet. You were very accommodating as we arrived a little late for our reserved tour and you placed us on the next available carriage with just a short wait. Thanks for a great experience .

We had out of town guests in for a visit and we needed additional carriage ride tickets. Using Zerve made purchasing the tickets very easy for the guests.
