Great Experience with the Best Guide and Horse
Aparna_B, Apr 2024
Shannon is an amazing guide! She’s knowledgeable and funny making our tour increasingly enjoyable. And Rowdy Roo is the sweetest horse ever!
Fabulous time was had by all!
Rosalyn_S, Apr 2024
Had a great time on the haunted carriage ride! Went right as the sun was setting and it was so cool to see the streets of Charleston with the beautiful sunset colors. Our tour guide was awesome- very informative! The only negative is that I wish it would’ve been longer! Would definitely do it again!
Spooky & fun
Cynthia_C, Apr 2024
Ben was the sweetest horse! And Savannah was a great storyteller and answered lots of questions. Would definitely recommend!
Not impressed. Save your money.
Carol_C, Apr 2024
Tour was about 35 minutes. I felt it was rushed - the girl giving the tour seemed pressured to get her information out before the “next thing”. Seemed inexperienced
Entertaining
Bryna_F, Apr 2024
Entertaining but short for the cost. Our guide gave us a phone number to text for ghost pictures, but I never got them.
Ghost ride super fun!
Rebecca_N, Apr 2024
We were in Charleston for one night and decided to take a haunted ghost tour and found this one on horseback carriage. It was well worth the money our tour guide did a fabulous job and was very knowledgeable. It was very fun.
Fun in haunted Charleston
Maryellen_K, Apr 2024
Our guide was so humorous! Her stories have us all laughing. Loved hearing about how well the horses were taken care of. Very important. Fun time.
Spooky and so fun!
Melissa_N, Apr 2024
Absolutely loved this experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and a great story teller. Cant wait to do it again!
Fun, Entertaining, and Relaxing!
Rich_M, Apr 2024
Vickie (?) and Mac did a great job showing Us the sights, telling us stories, and entertaining us as Mac pulled us through the streets of historic Charleston. We didn’t see any ghosts but heard all the stories. Great time and a needed respite from all the walking earlier in the day!
Too much money for what you get
Amy_H, Apr 2024
This was not what I was hoping for. Description says "Cobblestone streets" not at all! We were literally holding up traffic on regular roads. Crowded carriage shoved on like sardines with no clear view of what we had stopped to look at. The horse was cool and for that, I gave more stars. But the overall experience was a disappointment.

Ghost tour carriage ride
Joyce_H, Apr 2024
My granddaughters and I had a great time hearing about all the ghosts in Charleston. The tour guide did a great job and Ben the horse was a big hit with everyone. I recommend this tour to everyone.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
We’re so grateful for your 5 Star review of our Spooky ghost tour. We strive to offer the best experience possible, and your review tells us that we’re on the right path.
BOO!
Richard_K, Apr 2024
These experiences usually depend on the guide, and we had an excellent one in Pat (and our horse Prince). She regaled us with eerie ghost stories and some history as we rode the streets of the French Quarter at dusk. This experience added some depth and color to the city we had taken earlier in the day. Note: Parking lots are expensive in this area.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Our city is packed with haunted folklore and our tour guides love to tell about it. We hope to see you again in the future for another tour.
Loved Ron and the tour
Edgar_V, Apr 2024
So much fun! Ron and our tour guide were the best! Such a great tour of interesting history and local deaths/hauntings. The QR code to follow along was also helpful and aided in the immersion of the tour. Ron and our tour guide were seriously so awesome and did such a great job keeping us safe and it was very impressive.
Response from Host, Apr 2024

Loved this experience, it was fascinating learning about the history and hauntings of Charleston! Highly recommend. Request Prince to pull your carriage, he was by far the best horse :))

We loved our tour guide Kat and Jordan our horse. Would recommend this tour to all. Kat was very knowledgeable about the city of Charleston and the all ghost stories that go with it. What a wonderful way to see Charleston at night in a horse drawn carriage and learning spooky tales.
