Raymond was our tour guide, and he did an excellent job. He shared interesting bits of information throughout the ride. This is a great way to learn a little of the local history and get an overview of the city.

David was a great tour guide and Chico the horse kept us giggling every time he stopped to eat the street plants. This is a great way to spend an hour in Charleston and see the old style homes and streets.

A fun way to see the city with our whole family and hear about some of the history. They also took very good care of their horses.
