This was our favorite activity of our time in Charleston. Our tour guide, Kevin, was informative and funny, and we learned all sorts of history tidbits as we traveled the streets of Charleston. Deuce, his horse, was a trooper, full of spunk and did a great job of helping us travel. We loved hearing about the palmetto trees. I would definitely do it again.

Our driver Evan and his horse Dutch did an awesome job. Evan was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. My husband and I really enjoyed the tour.

We booked for the 9am ride and there were only 4 of us on board - great time to go as we saw later departures which were rammed! Our guide was very good as was our trainee ‘driver’. Howard the horse pulled us around! Don’t worry about the welfare of the horses, they are very well looked after.

What a wonderful tour. I would highly suggest this, the history and the knowledge of the driver Mike at his horse Troyer absolutely top notch. Out of all of the attractions in Charleston I would highly recommend this tour and this guide. I’m sure that all of the guides are top-notch. Which was evident from our guide Mike and his horse.

We did a tour with our 11-year-old grandchild and all had fun! Our tour guide was Michael C with Teddy as our horse. Michael was very knowledgeable, funny and personable. We learned a lot about Charleston - the city, history and people. We highly recommend!

Kevin the tour guide and Bezos the horse were both enjoyable. Kevin was very informative as well as funny. If you are quick witted you will get all of his jokes. This was my second time touring with this company. I would highly recommend the tour. They take extremely great care of their horses and the tour guides are always full of rich history and information.

Kevin was such an amazing tour guide! He was funny, extremely knowledgeable, and made all the multitasking that went into the tour look so easy. Bezos, our horse, was such a good boy!! It was funny to watch his personality come through along the trip. He knew EXACTLY where he was going, and was so gentle and patient…even when a car was stopped on the road and 3 carriages were having to wait to get back to the barn. He backed up and waited…and only had a little bit of an attitude 😂😂 I was very impressed with the barn and the fact that Palmetto goes beyond the mandatory breaks for the horses. They are so well taken care of and loved by the staff! We learned SO much about Charleston and our whole family agrees that it was a GREAT activity!
