This post compares and reviews all of the different Charleston carriage tour companies operating throughout this beautiful city.
There are several different tour companies offering daytime carriage tours of Charleston.
In order to avoid overcrowding of certain areas, the City of Charleston randomly awards one of four routes to each carriage operating in the historic district of Charleston.
This means that the route that each tour takes is predetermined and selected by City officials, rather than the individual companies.
What distinguishes one company from another is the quality of their guides and the types of tours they offer.
For example, in addition to their daytime tours, Palmetto Carriage Works and Old South Carriage Company also offer night tours of the historic district.
Classic Carriage Works is the only company to also offer a Civil War Tour and Slavery to Freedom Tour.
