Palmetto Carriage Works Day Tour & Optional Combo

The tour was great--I'm glad we purchased tickets with Palmetto. The carriage driver was excellent and very knowledgeable. Taking the tour is a good way to get an overview of all the important/interesting historical aspects of Charleston.

Really happy took ride especially that my husband enjoyed too

We decided to drive down to Charleston for the day. Looked up best rated carriage tours and Palmetto came up as #1 rated by CNN. We were not disappointed. Buying tickets was fast and easy. E-ticket appeared in my Iphone. Got to the tour location (very easy to find) Al was our tour guide. He was awesome. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. We would highly recommend this tour.

I have taken many friends on carriage tours. Be advised, your route will be determined by a lottery, so you may not see the "big & famous" homes or the waterfront. It is a disappointment to get the 2nd or 3rd choice tour route. The route we had went by the old jail and actually went through a low income housing complex??? This route is 1/4 the experience of the favorite waterfront route. But, there is nothing you can do, just know you are taking a chance on what you will see.

We signed up for the tour online. Not really sure what we were getting into. We selected the combination harbor tour but when we showed up at 3pm we were notified it would be tough to fit both in for the day. Something that was not obvious through the online signup process. We were only in Charleston for the day and when they found out we were with my 80 year old mother and wife with a broken ankle.. they really went out of their way to accommodate us. They were polite, professional and made our trip to Charleston veryy memorable.. Thanks very much! I highly recommend this experience.

We suggest getting your combo ticket online and taking the cruise first in the morning at 11:30. The crowd was manageable, and the ship had plenty of room. Everyone at both locations was friendly and helpful.

Our guide, Sam, was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting. We had a limited amount of time in Charleston, and this was a great way to see as much as possible.

Overall, it was worth the money. I have had more enthusiastic tour guides in other cities, so it is not the greatest I've experienced. However, it was above average.

We bought the combo tickets ( carriage tour and harbor tour) Both tours were excellent! We aren't young chickens and still learned so much. Warning...even though the harbor tour is only an hour and one half, you still need your sunscreen...YIKES....red nose here I come. Sound system is excellent so you won't miss a single word. Watch for dolphins for sure as you learn. Even though we loved the harbor tour, I have to say the carriage tour is awesome in large part to Tom. What a knowledgeable man. The love for the area is all over him. We highly recommend both tours and hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

A must tour for any trip to Charleston. Excellent tour with free parking...book online.. My fourth trip with Palmetto Carriage. Great Value!
