Great private carriage tour! Our guide, Troy was knowledgeable, funny and very engaging – we learned a lot and had a wonderful time. The only downside was not seeing some of the iconic Charleston spots due to the city-assigned route lottery, but that was outside of the company’s control. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.
