Traveling to Charleston should be a memorable experience, whether it’s your first time visiting or your 10th. Experiencing the charm of downtown Charleston can be done in many ways: on foot, on a bus, by boat, or on a classic horse-drawn carriage. The latter tends to be where most people find the most joy. Charleston has so much to see, from its cobblestoned streets to its lush parks and hidden gardens, and if you’re not familiar with the area it can be hard to spot some of its hidden gems. Taking a private horse and carriage tour is a foolproof way to experience all the beauty and history that you’re hoping for on your next trip to Charleston.
Private horse and carriage tours can be customized to your needs and preferences. On one of these tours, your guide becomes your own private Charleston tour guide & concierge, fully present and willing to answer any of your questions along the way. You are able to tailor the experience based on your interests and the particular pieces of Charleston’s history that you want to hear about.
A private vis-à-vis carriage can hold up to four people, and wagonettes hold up to eight. On each of these vehicles, the carriage benches face one another, offering an intimate experience for small groups and couples. Groups utilize private carriage tours for many different celebratory events from marriage proposals, to bachelorette parties, wedding transportation, anniversary celebrations and everything in between. Make of them what you want to, which is the main benefit of booking a private tour in Charleston.
For those who are into learning about the darker side of historic cities like Charleston, we also offer a private haunted history tour. These tours begin in the early evening and offer guests a way to hear about the many haunted legends that have been circulating throughout the city for generations. Passing by several sites that have reports of various “hauntings,” the tour guide will be sure to share all of his or her knowledge with you along the way.
