Q&A

Q: Is there a weight limit for the carriage rides? I’m planning to gift this to my parents.

A: Yes, there is a weight limit for the carriage rides. The Old South Carriage tours generally accommodate about 4-5 adults per carriage, and the total weight limit is around 1,100 lbs. It's best to check directly with them if you have any concerns, they’re super friendly! My parents loved it!

Q: What should we wear for the carriage ride? Is it really breezy?

A: Definitely dress comfortably! Layers are a good idea since it can get breezy. I went in the late afternoon, and a light jacket came in handy. Also, don’t forget comfy shoes since you’ll want to explore a bit before or after the ride!

Q: Can this tour be rescheduled if it rains? I want to surprise my girlfriend but don’t want to ruin it with bad weather.

A: Absolutely! Old South Carriage has a rain policy that allows for rescheduling if the weather is bad. Just call them a day ahead or check their website for updates. It’s a good idea to have a backup plan too, just in case! We had to reschedule once but it was worth the wait.

Just did the Old South Carriage Tour - Amazing Experience!

I took the Old South Carriage Historic Tour last weekend and it was fantastic! We had a knowledgeable guide who shared tons of interesting stories about Charleston's history. The carriage ride itself was super relaxing, and the views of the historic homes were breathtaking. We even got to meet the Belgian horse, which was a highlight for me! Highly recommend it for anyone looking to soak up the southern charm.
