City Culture Walking Tour – (Registration Required)

Experience the charm of Charleston with our delightful combination of a horse-drawn Carriage Tour and a Walking Tour. The Carriage Tour offers a  welcoming overview of the city, covering 25-30 blocks of Charleston’s historic downtown district. Immediately following the carriage experience, embark on the Walking Tour along the peninsula. This tour delves into the captivating history and stories that make Charleston a gem in the southeastern United States and "America's Best-kept Secret."
As your guests explore Rainbow Row, White Point Gardens, The Charleston Battery, St. Michaels Church, and the Four Corners of Law, they will witness the city's resilience through centuries of occupation, economic hardship, fires, earthquakes, and hurricanes. Charleston, often referred to as a living museum, reveals its rich history around every corner, providing an immersive experience that showcases the city's architectural beauty, flora, and unique culture.
