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.

My family and my sister and her husband took a carriage tour with the "Professor" and she did an awesome job! She is a history teacher at the college and knew soooo much about the buildings and the history behind them. Highly recommend a tour with Charleston Carriage Works!!! Dale Jr. - you were adorable!!!

We took a carriage tour of Charleston with Charleston Carriage Works. The tour takes a little over an hour. You need to purchase your ticket as soon as you get into Charleston as the carriages fill up quickly. We boarded our carriage with "Chief" at the helm. They use a lottery system for every carriage to determine what area you will get to see. Our carriage drew a "1" so we got to tour the battery area. I really enjoyed hearing about the history of Charleston and the views along the waterfront were fantastic along the way. I really love the old homes and architecture so it was a real treat!

It was our 1st trip to Charleston and we wanted to get a good tour of the downtown area at the beginning of our trip and this carriage ride was excellent! Our guide, Erik, was awesome! He was funny and knowledgeable. After the carriage ride, my husband and I were anxious to start walking in order to check out several places Erik had suggested visiting during the carriage ride tour...and they were worth further investigating! Loved Charleston and loved this carriage ride!
