Charleston Haunted Horse and Carriage Ride - Our tour guide was Big Mike I believe. He was hilarious and very down to earth at the same time. Loved his jokes and his ghost stories. He was very knowledgeable of the Charleston area. Can't wait to come back to do an early day house/horse and carriage tour. Highly recommend Palmetto Carriage Works!!!

Best Carriage Tour Ever - Tyler was a fabulous guide who obviously loved his job and horses. We learned so much Savannah history, and truly had a memorable outing. Harmony was a lovely horse, and our carriage was clean and comfy. Cannot recommend this highly enough - what a great way to tour the French Quarter of Charleston! Even my sometimes grumpy 16-year-old had a great time.

Make sure you check the weather - We arrived on time, it was booked for a 30 minute haunted tour, private carriage. Let me start by saying we saw the lightening rolling in as we walked up. As animal lovers we obviously want no harm to the animal, so we would have been fine if they canceled and refunded. We began the tour and never even really left the market area, we know they go further as we are locals. We were back at barn in under 25 minutes when it started raining. No refund, no we are sorry, just done. We got more of a history tour then haunted, we expected some history. While we did enjoy, I think we would likely not do again. The value add just wasn’t there for us on this night. Also let me say the tour guide we definitely nice just not our cup of tea.
