Sea Island Carriage Company

3 Best Day Trips from Charleston, South Carolina | Condé Nast Traveler

"This leisurely carriage tour lasts just under an hour. It’s a professional set up with a homespun feel, perfect for small groups—the four rows of the carriages can fit eight people very comfortably. Guides are experienced and include details on local history, specifics of the Antebellum architecture styles, Civil War history, and even some natural history considering the tour takes place amid the evocatively southern Spanish Moss. The town’s historic homes are perhaps its most interesting feature. The entirety of the historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, and there are some  incredibly preserved homes, such as the Robert Smalls House and The Anchorage (which both date back to the late 18th century). There’s even older history on view at the Parish Church of St Helena, parts of which date back to 1712, and just slowly meandering along with trees on one side and the water on the other was delightful." - Paul Oswell
