Madison and Lil Wayne!!!!
Hannah_L
, Aug 2022
So much fun!!! It was our first trip to Charleston and the perfect end to our anniversary. We took the 10pm Haunted Twilight tour, and had a great time. Our tour guide, Madison, was as entertaining as she was knowledgeable. Our horse of the evening, Lil Wayne, was excellent and stayed calm even we encountered traffic. We really appreciated that our guide obviously had amazing communication with him. Thanks again for a wonderful night!
Spooky Fun!

Great evening with host Shannon and her horse Cash. Shannon has a fun sense of humor and uses it while describing both the historical elements of buildings and areas and their spooky truths or folklore. She leaves it up to you to decide which is which. Nice, easy ride with plenty of chances to take pictures.
Awesome Experience

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.
Awesome 😎

Hat man was the most creepy yet lively character!!! The scenery was mostly enchanting and unreal to see not being from Charleston
An okay tour
Mark_L

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.
Response from Host , Jul 2022

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!
