entertain them for an hour. Our tour guides have enough knowledge to customize for each group.” Not only are the tour guides flex- ible enough to accommodate their clients’ interests, but Classic Car- riage Works also provides specialized offerings such as the Early Bird or the Adult Passengers Only tours. And because customer service is as important a product as a good tour, a variety of other options are avail- able, including private tours and Charleston’s only Twilight Tour. “It is not just tours. We’ve done horse-drawn funerals,” Christoff said. “And we do weddings any- where – downtown, Middleton Plantation, Boone Hall Plantation.”
In addition to overseeing the tours, Christoff cares for the horses – “I love working with them” – and the carriages. “We build, maintain and repair
our own vehicles. And we have ar- tifacts from the 1800s and carriages that date back to the Civil War,” he said.
What sets Classic Carriage Works
apart from other tour companies? “It’s all about customer service,” Christoff said. “All customers should have a great time.”
Classic Carriage Works offers a variety of tours guaranteed to educate and entertain. For more information or to make reserva- tions, visit
