★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,678 reviews · 40 minutes (approx.) · from $50Our pick

Review of Charleston’s 40-minute haunted horse and carriage tour, with spooky tales, historic sights, accessibility tips, pricing, and booking advice.

“Such a stupid “tour”. We basically went around the block while being referred to photos of the places we were supposed to see rather than reliably being shown those locations. The tour guide’s spiel was so indecipherable we couldn’t follow her at all. Some of the photos in the QR code photo album weren’t even mentioned. We kept stopping near parking lots and construction areas. Beyond dumb and a total waste of money. Nice horse, though.”

We literally could have walked down any street and looked at the buildings and googled their history for free! our guide was very nice but did walk extremely way too fast. Parts of our group kept getting left behind after being cut off from other groups and pedestrians.”
