Charleston Rickshaw

Really quick pick up and our biker Julius was really friendly & knowledgeable about downtown Charleston. Wish we had used this service more during our stay here.

Great option to quickly get around town, while leaving your car parked at the hotel! They are everywhere… but you can also call and arrange a pickup. Jay was our pedicab captain and he was wonderful! He was from Charleston, so pointed out some interesting facts along the ride.

What a great way to get around this beautiful city. Took the rickshaw to dinner on a Saturday night, got to see neighborhoods we wouldn’t otherwise and have a delightful conversation with our «driver.» If you are at all inclined to do this, do not hesitate: We would do it again in a heartbeat and absolutely beats taking a cab. .. and the cost is identical. Go green. Go with the rickshaw.

Boarding a Charleston Richshaw Co. pedicab for a nice, breezy, leisurely ride through the city was one of the highlights of my recent trip to Charleston. Our pedicab driver was very informative and helpful. Seeing that we had a party of four when her rickshaw could only accommodate three at most, she called for backup, and he showed up really quickly.
In our journey through the city, the friendly driver told us about things to see and do, from a local’s perspective, and also endorsed some more touristy places, too. She suggested we check out Wicked Charleston, a special tour that features all the untold historical scandals of the southern city. We didn’t have the chance to, but that was a nice tidbit. We’ll definitely consider for our next vacation there!
The price is right. A ride is $ 5.50 per person. I neglected to ask how much distance they can cover and how that may affect the fare, but I assume the price difference would be nominal… There’s no gas involved, just a fit biker’s two legs wheeling you through cobblestone streets and navigating sharp turns as well as bypassing horse-​drawn carriages.
Our drivers (took two trips) seemed very knowledgeable of every street, alley, and shortcut. They also seem to have good working relationships with other vendors, which makes things like maneuvering past a carriage full of tourists much, much easier.
Riding a rickshaw is also a great relief if your feet are begging for a break. And it also happens to be one of the quickest and most scenic ways to get around in Charleston. When I return, I will definitely take advantage of this great service again. Highly recommended.

Was in Charleston for a girls weekend and we used the Rickshaw a couple of times. The service was great and very prompt. We loved getting a little tour of the city and the guys were great.

I was on a girls trip to Charleston, SC. We used this company, recommended by the hotel, several times. Trips cost @ $ 11, plus tip. The guys are nice, prompt, respond to telephone calls requesting service.
