Our first time to Charleston from Texas and we really enjoyed the carriage tour! It was a great way to start off our trip and we really enjoyed all of the information given. Shout out to our guide Zach and the magnificent Garth for taking such good care of us!

We had Layton as our guide and he was very informative and friendly. We took first tour of the day at 9:30 so weather was nice and not too hot. Thanks Old South!

We took both the carriage ride and the walking tour. Both were really great. The walking tour guide was so knowledgeable about history in Charleston as well as architecture. It was an amazing tour and the weather even cooperated! Our carriage tour was great too and the driver was also excellent! Thank you!
