Olde Towne Carriage Company

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.

We had the pleasure of touring with our guide Kathryn and Clydesdale, Charlie, for a beautiful and informative 1 hour carriage tour on 3-18-2010. Our guide was very knowledgable not only about the history and architechture of the city and its people, but also of Charlie. Having grown up around horses, she proved very capable of handling an animal of that strength, size and determination, and made her guests feel very comfortable. The lottery system that the city uses to determine the carriage routes keeps the guides well rounded about the various attractions and historical sites that may be inquired about depending upon the route the carriage is given. It is highly recommended and a wonderful way to relax and be educated at the same time. We will definately use this company on our next visit to Charleston. BJ Ferrebee Dave G.

We only had a short time to visit Charleston and the carriage tour added much information and advise to our visit. Guide was very informed and personal.

Very informative guide took us on a lovely carriage ride through Charleston. History of the area & its inhabitants presented in pleasant informative style. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in Charleston.

We enjoyed the tour very much. The guide was very interesting and knowledgeable about the city. This is a must do for first time visitors to Charleston.

Interesting, informative and enjoyable

I wish I could remember the name of our driver. He was excellent--nice blend of information and humor. I have been on Charleston tours in the past, but I still learned new things. Our tour of the downtown area was very enjoyable. We were a little early and were able to see the care and attention the employees give the horses. My husband and I highly recommend this carriage tour company.

Only wish it could have been longer or we had more time to take another tour!

The carriage tour was part of our trip celebrating our 43rd wedding anniversary and made it very special. Our tour guide, Christof, and his horse, Bart, did a fine job of showing us the sights of the city. We truly enjoyed the experienced. Thank you.

I highly recommend Olde Towne Carriage Company. Our tour guide was entertaining and very informative. Customer service was great. I purchased six tickets in advance - unfortunately several members of our group missed their flight into Charleston. I called Olde Towne to find out if I could change the time of our tour. They were very accommodating and allowed me to choose another tour time that would suit our schedule. Thanks Olde Towne for great service!

Highly enterttaining with a good insight to Charleston history

We went on a group of 4 couples and it was a perfect carriage ride through the City. Helped us determine where we wanted to spend the rest of our day. Guide was very knowledgeable and I was happy with all the views!

My family had an enjoyable time on this carriage ride through Charleston. Our guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable. This was a very memorable experience for all of us.

We took the early morning tour which has a small all day parking (6.00) right beside the Carriage Ride which was great as we could stay parked after ride and able to do sight seeing. The carriage ride is located to lots of things in easy walking distance. The ride was very nice and was an hour long. What made the tour was great was Larry (the horse) and Robert the driver. The Charleston history of the building and places was great and gave us a good insight of the time period that was a great help as we toured on our own. Driver and horse had a good routine worked out that was funny as well as helped to keep your attention on what was going on. Loads of information and while it was impossible to obsorb it all at the time but it was readily recalled when like situations came up. All said, We recommend this ride and would take it again.

Both our guide and Larry the horse provided a very enjoyable city tour. The guide told us a lot of historical information about the sights we were passing, and every so often Larry let us know that he was really the one in charge of this tour. We liked the pace of the tour and the fact that we saw beautiful scenery and learned incidental information--about the fire companies, the earthquake bolts, the award plaques on houses--as well as historical background about Charleston. Many thanks to Olde Towne, the guide, and Larry. :o)
