Great tour guide and horse Gibbs. Not a lot of history or sights but it’s based on where the city tells the driver where you can go

Wonderful Private Tour of Charleston
We had a lovely time with Lindsay and Gibbes on our private carriage tour of Charleston recently. Lindsay was full of knowledge about Charleston, its history and the homes and areas we went through as we toured with her. Gibbes was a wonderful horse and we really appreciated their partnership as we traveled through the streets. We highly recommend booking a tour with them - you won't regret it!
