Must do when visiting - Mike H (our tour guide) and Ben (our horse) were fabulous! Mike H was very knowledgeable and funny! I live in Mount Pleasant and had family visiting so we decided to go! Overall great ride and experience.

Great tour and a lot of Fun. Highly Recommended! - I really enjoyed this tour. Wendy was a very knowledge tour guide and it was also a lot of fun. Although the tour was just an hour she covered a lot in an interesting and informative way. I also did the Haunted Carriage Tour with this company. I got a bit of a discount paying for both tours at the same time and the times of the tours allowed for much flexibility. I highly recommend old South Carriage Company Tours.

Expensive Parking - We weren’t prepared for the high price of parking: only 2 choices: 1 hour for $15 or 4 hours for $45. Since you get there a bit early (& the sign says they tow), it is safer to buy the 4-hour pass. But it’s a rip-off. There are also different routes so there is no guarantee you will see a particular part of Charleston on this tour. Overall the tour was alright but i didn’t find it worth the cost of the tour + parking.
