Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the horse-drawn carriage tour? Is it hot in Charleston during the day?

A: Charleston can definitely get warm, especially in the summer! I'd recommend lightweight, breathable clothing, and maybe a hat for some sun protection. It can also get a bit breezy in the carriage, so a light scarf might be nice to have. Comfortable shoes are a must since you might want to explore a bit before or after your ride!

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this carriage ride?

A: No age limit! Kids love the ride, and it's a great way for families to see the city together. Just remember, each carriage can fit up to 4 people, so if your kids are younger, consider squeezing them all in. The guide will keep it entertaining for everyone, too!

Q: What if it rains? Can we reschedule the carriage tour?

A: Yes, you can definitely reschedule if the weather doesn’t cooperate! The carriage company is pretty flexible about that. Just be sure to keep an eye on the forecast so you can call them ahead of time. They’ll work with you to find a new date that fits your schedule.

Thinking about gifting a carriage tour in Charleston!

I’m looking to surprise my parents with something special, and I came across the private daytime horse-drawn carriage tour. I love that it includes a guide who shares stories about the city. I’m just not sure if it’s worth the price for a group of four? Any thoughts on the experience? Also, how's the parking situation near the Big Red Barn?

Just did the carriage tour, and it was fantastic!

We took the private horse-drawn carriage tour last weekend, and I can't recommend it enough! Our guide was hilarious and super informative. We got to see Rainbow Row and other iconic spots. It was cozy and really felt like we got to know Charleston better. A perfect experience for couples or families!
