What to expect
A horse-drawn carriage is the classic, low-effort way to see Charleston's historic district. You cover 30-plus blocks seated and shaded while a guide narrates, which makes it a favorite for families, hot afternoons, and anyone who'd rather not walk.
From the operator: Make your way through historic downtown Charleston on a traditional horse-drawn carriage with a guide. See the mansions, churches, and gardens of the city.
