Great way to see and get the skinny on landmarks like the Battery, Rainbow Row, Cemetaries, churches, Charleston Harbor, Architecture, civil war forts, etc. **I recommend early morning or dusk in the summertime as it's easier on the horse and person. It's a special kind of hot in the Lowcountry, and for those who aren't familiar with what I mean just take my word for it ;)**
