Charleston has a beautiful Historic District and riding in a horse carriage was a fantastic way to experience this area. Blake was our guide and he was awesome. The city has ordinances in place to keep too many carriages from being in the same area at the same time, so you don’t know exactly what area you are going to tour until the carriage stops by a booth and is told what your route is going to be. At first I was disappointed that we would not be able to see Rainbow Row, but Blake was very informative and gave us the background of that area and any others that we were not able to go to, so we had the history, and we just walked to see any of the areas that we didn’t actually pass by in the carriage. It was an awesome experience. You can walk the area and see the same things, but then you don’t have the history. And it was enjoyable just riding in the carriage. There are several companies and sometimes it’s hard to tell one from the other, but this one looks like a big red barn and I would highly recommend them!

Brianna the tour guide was great and Buster the horse was awesome. Palmetto Carriage takes care of their horses and they even have a ranch for the horses to relax.
