Carriage Tour - Over 300 Years of Charleston History

This package is optimal for folks who want a great overview of Charleston while getting variety in what they are seeing. The morning starts with 25-30 blocks of history via carriage tour, including the residential area of the historic district. You will see gorgeous homes, churches, gardens, and public buildings while getting the history of what you are seeing by a licensed City of Charleston Tour guide.

Powder Magazine - Revolutionary War, Civil War, & Oldest Public Building

Following your carriage tour, walk a short distance to your next stop, the Charleston Powder Magazine Museum. Charleston's Oldest Public Building, this site stored gun powder and munitions during the earliest years of Charleston's settlement straight through the Civil War. The building has a rich history and was designed to withstand a blast because, well, gun powder lived here. Guests will have time to cruise through this war-time museum and interact with Powder Magazine staff.

Lunch - Not a Bad City to Grab a Meal

Guests will be given an hour and a half to grab lunch at one of Charleston's delicious restaurants following their time at the Powder Magazine. We want to make sure you have enough time to relax and get a great meal before finishing out the day. The choice of lunch establishment is up to the guest (though we are happy to make suggestions) and the package price does not include the cost of lunch.

Nathaniel Russell House - One of Our Favorite House Museums

Following lunch, guests will be escorted to the Nathaniel Russell House House Museum, found slightly south of Broad on Meeting Street in the historic district. The home boasts an incredible free-flying cantilevered staircase, beautifully preserved period furniture and interior architectural features, and a lovely garden. Guests will be taken through the house by a museum docent who will provide a rich look into the home's history.

Client Testimonials

  • A Charleston resident suggested a Traveling Ink concierge might be able to help me. It didn’t take long for me to realize that this was one of the best pieces of advice I could have received. My friends thought I was an organizational wizard even though I kept telling them it was Traveling Ink, not me.

    ~ Nicky H.
  • We so enjoyed our time in Charleston. Thank you for all your insight! I am recommending your services to everyone I know who is traveling to Charleston!

    ~Kathryn C.
  • Traveling Ink planned the three full days we would have in Charleston, how we would get from one place to another, places to eat, and what the costs would be. To add to the challenge, we had to change the day of one of the main attractions because rain had been predicted. They handled all the changes with out missing a step.

    ~ Harriett H.
  • These Charleston pros do a phenomenal job in any setting. Audra was our point person and is a pleasure to work with. She is laid back and can work with any request.
