Carriage Tour

The city of Charleston's downtown section is rich with 300 years of history. The city is among America's most beautiful, historic, and well preserved in architectural craftsmanship. It is truly a treasure! Narrated by Charleston's most experienced guides, your guests will slip back into the elegant past as your carriage meanders through antebellum neighborhoods. Your carriage tour ventures in one of three historical areas throughout the city. Tours cover approximately 25 blocks or 2 miles of Downtown Historic Charleston. In the course of fifty minutes, your professionally, licensed tour guide will give you an overall history of the city while bringing various points of interest to your attention and answering any questions your group may have.

We should conclude the carriage tour by 10am allowing guests time at their leisure until roughly 12:45 pm when they should begin boarding the coach in anticipation of a 1pm departure to return to the Embassy Suites hotel arriving around 1:30 PM.
