The guide was knowledgeable and kind and I appreciated being off my feet in the heat, but it was basically a square. I didn't realize when I made the reservation that it was only a half an hour and was just the commercial district. I would have preferred seeing more of the historical area. That was my fault for not realizing that from the description. I didn't feel like I learned a lot, but attributed that to really limited things to see on that particular route rather than the fault of the guide.

What a wonderful way to tour the historic city. Driver was well informed. Weather was beautiful. Taking the evening tour paid off since was cool.

Our tour guide was informative and passionate about the history of Charleston. I would not recommend doing tour in summer. It was hot and uncomfortable for riders and horse. I am not much for history and was hoping to learn about what to do downtown but that may have been my misunderstanding of what the focus of the tour was.

I took a ride with you two years ago and this trip seemed really short! The trip was a different trip than my last trip. Our driver was very knowledgeable and personal!
