Memorable Carriage Ride - Enjoyed every informative minute with guide RT and faithful horse Pinckney. RT delivered so much information in a relaxed manner. Spectacular weather made the ride even more memorable.

Excellent tour of South Broad area. - We really enjoyed our carriage tour. Our guide was Matthew and he was very knowledgeable about the area. The route he was assigned was the South Broad area and Matthew’s told us so much about the architecture. We could tell he spends a lot of time studying the area.

Disappointed. - The carriage ride was nice. However we could not hear the tour guide at all. Between him turning to watch where the horse was going and the rattling of the carriage it was hard to hear and understand him. Maybe since there were only 4 of us he did not use a microphone but it was needed.
