A city is a place of tremendous variety, usually constructed upon rock ‘n’ roll. Plumb the secret depths of Charleston with today's Groupon: for $10, you get a one-hour tour (up to a $20 value) from Olde Towne Carriage Company.

Providing tours of Charleston for more than 30 years, Olde Towne Carriage Company guides customers along an illuminating one-hour tour of the Holy City in a horse-drawn carriage. Let the dynamic duo of a licensed, knowledgeable guide and reliable animal chauffer point out notable locales like an impressively wizened centaur. During the tour, eyes can feast on comely historical homes, beautiful gardens, and the regal storm drains of the Old Market area. Become acquainted with the Old Walled City and numerous churches while marveling at the grand architecture and scanning 300-year-old streets for gold bullion. Tours depart daily in roughly 20-minute intervals between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 or 5 p.m. Each carriage can hold up to 16 guests, ensuring an intimate sightseeing experience that’s much more enjoyable than curling up into the wheel well of a passing bus.
