Charleston Horse & Carriage Historic Sightseeing Tour

What sets your tour apart isn’t just where we go—it’s who leads the way. We are proud to be the only tour in Charleston led by a full-blooded Gullah Geechee Indian, Chief Godfrey Gullah Jack. This isn’t a scripted performance; it’s a "Truth Offensive."

We dive into the untold stories of African American slaves, master craftsmen, and influential landowners, bringing to light the legacy that built this city. You’ll hear the Gullah language spoken by a native voice and experience the vibrant culture that has survived for centuries. We don’t just show you landmarks; we offer a profound connection to the spirit of resilience and redemption. If you want a genuine, educational, and transformative look at the real Charleston, this is the only tour that delivers it. Don’t settle for the surface.

John_O, Apr 2026

Comfortable and Informative

Driver / Tour Guide was knowledgeable and gave a great history of Downtown Charleston. Tour Bus was clean and comfortable.

Sylvie_W, Sep 2026

Cool Historic Charleston Tour

This tour was very informative, in a comfortable, air-conditioned grayline mini bus - on a hot, humid day. I learned a lot about the history of the city and about many of the churches and mansions. I highly recommend this tour and our tour guide (even though I don't remember his name.)

Vicki_C, Sep 2026

Good tour.

Good historical tour with live narration. We missed the tour (and were quickly rebooked), the pick up point is not on the street with the address on the wall, it’s in the bus area associated with the visitors bldg. we googled the address, stood there and saw the bus leave. That’s how we figured it out.
