This is my third carriage ride, different companies (ave once/yr) and as always, I really enjoyed it. Carolyn was very informative and entertaining. Horse was very well behaved, Route was different but similar to previous rides. Carriage was comfortable. One of my "must do's" when I bring visitors to visit Charleston! All the companies we've used have been very good.

Lovely ride through the town, and our guide was very nice. Unfortunately, we were seated in the back of the carriage so it was hard to hear, especially when the guide was looking towards the horse and not facing the carriage. I realize they have to watch the horse and the route, but we missed bits and pieces of the commentary. Not sure if this problem can even be resolved.
