We did go on a carriage tour and it was the second time for us to do this.  We did it when we were here about 8 years age.  Once is enough.  The first time is worth it.  Walking around is better. 

There are a number of tour options to ride, but the kicker is that each one has to make a "first stop" at a booth, which is operated by the city, and they tell the driver which of about 5 routes for them to take.  Consequently, you do not get to see everything.

Here are some pictures of various buildings.  There will be more picture forthcoming.

Take note of the last four pictures, to which the following apply.

Charleston's Four Corners of the Law

Charleston's Four Corners of the Law By WhereTraveler ®

The corner of Meeting and Broad Streets in Charleston, S.C., has four buildings, which each represent different legal jurisdictions: St. Michael's Episcopal Church representing God's law, Charleston City Hall representing city law, the Charleston County Courthouse (originally the provincial capital) representing state law, and the Federal Courthouse (and U.S. Post Office) representing federal laws. As the locals love to smirk: You can also go here to get married, get taxed, get divorced and go to jail.
