We totally enjoyed the entire experience. We loved AC the kitty ,, while waiting in the barn. The staff was friendly. The horses were massive and impressive, and so sweet. And we loved Star, our guide. The total experience was great and we will definitely be returning on our next visit. I give the entire thing a 10 and recommend it to everyone.

Fun Carriage Night Ride

Our driver Shannon was great! Even though it was very warm, she brought her “A” game. She was lively , full of energy, and shared the stories with great enthusiasm! I didn’t see any ghosts myself, (as I rarely do) but it was lovely to see the city at night. Our house Cash was every bit the gentleman and pulled our carriage without complaint.

An okay tour
Mark_L
, Jul 2022
It was nice but not over the top. The stories were average, and the narrator was fine but not as good as I've had on those rides. The haunted aspect was underwhelming and the stories were interesting but there was no scariness to it. I suppose I was expecting a bit more, it was a Charleston carriage ride with minor inflection on 'haunted stories' to me. Worth the money but not a must see or do.

Star was a great tour guide, so personable and funny, but in my opinion the experience wasn’t worth $100 for the two of us. We really only went around a few blocks and didn’t get to see much. Wayne did a great job pulling us around though!
