| There is one thing that makes your carriage tour experience unforgettable: the drivers!
Our philosophy at Palmetto Carriage Works is that our employees make the tour. From the ground crew that assists in the carriage loading to the guide that gives you your tour, our personnel is the most experienced in the industry. Most all carriage companies will tell you that their guides are the best. That is an arbitrary statement that is best left to you, the customer, to decide after your tour. I can tell you that the carriage tour guides at Palmetto have more years of carriage driving experience than any in the industry. I have been personally driving a carriage for over 25 years, longer than anyone else in Charleston. Much of our tour is derived from our years of experience.

Ed Heston, far right | Ed Heston 7 Years
A Harrison Ford persona, exemplified by his hat, hair cut, and swagger serve him well on the streets of Charleston and make him one of our most requested guides. Be it recounting an historic tale, or verbaly thrashing a rude Charlestonian, Ed is truely the man for the moment. An avid photographer, his post cards of Charleston and Savannah are available everywhere. He knows the city, its history, and delivers a great tour.

| Bunny 17 years
Bunny is the Palmetto Carriage Voice on the phone. She mans our ticket office in The Rainbow Market at 40 N. Market St. Additionally, Bunny handles most of the bookings of our private carriages, group specials, and weddings. Even though she is a licensed tour guide, Bunny has never given a tour (too shy). Her personal attention to customer service is one of the reasons carriage customers use our services repeatedly. A survivor of both cancer and a near fatal watersking accident, Bunny is a proven odds beater so it's pretty safe bet she'll arrange a great carriage experience for you. |
