What To Expect

Charleston Carriage Works

For centuries Charleston has been a hub of culture, class, charm, and national history. The British settled here in 1670 and quickly established her as one of the most important cities in America. As years passed, Charleston thrived and evolved all while keeping her unique personality. A beautiful harbor as rich in history as it is rich in breathtaking vistas. Centuries old homes kept in pristine condition by their proud residents. Cobblestone streets. One-of-a-kind shops and vendors. Charleston has it all. And we'd love to introduce her to you with a Carriage Tour experience that is classic and unique as she. Each of our tours is an hour long and covers 2-3 miles of Charleston’s residential Historic District. They are narrated by some of Charleston’s best city-licensed tour guides who are happy to share their local insight with you. Tours load and depart about every 30 minutes from our stable at 20 Anson Street.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

We stayed close to this stable, so we saw the horses everytime we walked by. That's when I met Gary, a beautiful Belgian Draft horse. We took a tour and Gary was our horse. Since one of the streets was closed, we were taken on an alternate route. I learned so much about the history of Charleston and the architecture too! Our tour guide was great! What I also appreciated was being explained that the horses were purchased from the Amish and were well take care of - which I had seen with my own eyes over the days we had been there. Defnitely a great way to see Charleston and learn at the same time!
