Everyone should do this tour - if only to get an idea of where to go - Everyone needs to do this tour. The horses are so humanly treated. And our guide was delightful and has a very great knowledge about Charleston and its history.

Great experience - We loved it. Elliot, our driver, was a great mix of facts, stories and humor. We were told it was his first solo tour but that was hard to believe because he was the best!

Special Delivery to the Alter - Hello, We can't thank you enough for providing such a wonderful carriage ride for our daughter's wedding. It was a part of the wedding that we, our families and our guests will long remember. We did the same thing for our wedding in 1991 and it was super special to pass down such a special experience to our daughter and son-in-law. Nice to pass along something traditional to the next generation! Thanks to Jim and Buddy for all there talents!!!

Loved the customer service and Tour! - Great tour of Charleston! Palmetto Carriage was amazing. I didn’t get the name of the guy I booked with but he was so helpful, he even went and got a golf cart for my mum to bring her over to the red barn, what great service! My mum also commented on how well looked after the horses were and how much love and attention there were getting. Really impressed and would recommend palmetto carriage out of the red barn!

Our buddy Tucker even got to come along

Great tour but quiet - Very nice experience…would’ve given 5 stars but we really couldn’t hear the tour guide for a lot of the time. Really should have some sort of mic’d system on the carriages.
