Palmetto

Great efficiency in allocating to carriages, friendly staff makes you feel welcome, very knowledgeable tour guides, good animals treated kindly.

This is the third time we have taken this fantastic tour and it is different every time. There are 3 randomly chosen routes, but even the same route has a different flair with different guides. It is a relaxing and very educational tour of the city, giving you a glimpse of areas you might want to explore on foot. Palmetto does a very good job organizing their tours....not a long wait in the barn. We have purchased our tickets twice through Zerve, and that is definitely the way to go! It was easy to do online or on the phone and made scheduling our day much easier as there was very little waiting...in fact this past time (Thanksgiving weekend) we arrived early and Palmetto moved UP our tour time, even though they were very busy. The 4 hours of free parking near the barn is prime for shopping/dining after the tour. If you just do one CHS tour, make it Palmetto carriage ride and buy your tickets through Zerve !

Our tour guide (Ben) was a local, very engaging and knowledgeable. The carriage was comfortable to ride in, although I'd suggest bringing a sweater in late afternoon in the fall - it gets chilly in the shade! Our route took us past dozens of beautiful houses, the battery, the market, the old armory, and several of Charleston's most impressive churches. Lots of interesting history of the city, including small details on architecture and the armory that I wouldn't otherwise have noticed. Well done!

Thank you so much for a great tour! Kari was terrific -- all of us enjoyed the ride, from the 5-year-old to gray-haired Nana & Papa! Rhyme and Reason led us on a grand adventure through the beautiful streets of Charleston, and we appreciated the additional parking time provided for us to shop at the Market. Y'all are great!!

My daughter, my mother, my husband, and I had a great time! We have done carriage tours before but this was the first private tour. It was well worth the extra few dollars to have our own carriage and guide.

accommodated us even though we were late. convienent parking. safe ride for families with small children. Bring a sweater, it gets chilly later in the day

The carriage ride is always a hit with our out-of-town guests, and we love it as well. We learn something new about the city and its history with each tour. The guides have so much knowledge to share and have a wonderful rapport with their customers. We heartily recommend this "touristy" experience to all Charleston visitors!

my tour was informative and educational

Nice way to see and learn things about areas of Charleston. Can't pick what area you want to see but guide makes it very interesting.

Tour guide was both enthusiastic and very knowledgable. We were impressed with how organized everything was and the care given to the animals.

The carriage tour really gives you a feel for the city. We could have never seen what we saw on foot with small children. Worth the cost!

My mom, mother n law, and I traveled to Charleston this past weekend. The whole trip was great but we all agreed that the carriage ride was the best! We went in November and the weather was perfect! Our tour guide (Rebel) was beyond amazing. She knew her facts and told it in a story telling manner vs just straight information. We were on tour #1 and got to see a bunch of things. I didn't realize just how much history Charleston really has. Even if you are not a history buff, you will truly enjoy this tour. This is a must do when you come to Charleston!

I booked a private carriage for my boyfriend's 50th birthday. It was a great surprise for him, and a FABULOUS excursion! The route we had took us by Rainbow Row and the places we wanted to see. We had so much fun, we would've done another tour for another route if we hadn't have had dinner reservations. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Locating the facily was easy. The team was fast, efficient and friendly. The guide exoertly managed the horses and thoroughly enjoyed explaining the significance and history as we meandered through the streets of this very significant, historical area. Quite FUN!

Our carriage tour guide, "Rebel" was terrific, as was Butterfinger our transporter. We toured the French Quarter, the Battery and Rainbow Row. I learned so much about the culture and history of the city. The harbor cruise was great as well. We saw fish and fowl, and the beautiful sights of the harbor. This history and beauty of the area was shared by the captain. Would recommend the tour to anyone!
