Night time fun, but not so scary
I love learning about history and I especially love the dark and ghostly tales of an area. Old South, and their four legged friends, deliver a fun way to do that. They offer both daytime and evening carriage tours. Tickets were around $45 off of the Trip Advisor site and the experience lasted about 45 minutes. This carriage ride was fun, but I felt it was more about the night time carriage ride than it was “ghost tales.” Plus, it was great if you wanted to hear a few tales without the walking. If you’re wanting more of the ghost story aspect, I would suggest a walking tour. Our guide, Taylor (and Noah), was super and definitely knew her info. However, I don’t think I’d do this again. If it’s a spooky adventure you’re seeking, then I’d find a walking tour.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Haunted Evening Horse and Carriage Tour of Charleston: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Charleston.
How much does Haunted Evening Horse and Carriage Tour of Charleston cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Charleston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Haunted Evening Horse and Carriage Tour of Charleston take?
+
Plan for about 0.7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Charleston is not rushed.
Is Haunted Evening Horse and Carriage Tour of Charleston worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 4,421 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Charleston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Haunted Evening Horse and Carriage Tour of Charleston?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Haunted Evening Horse and Carriage Tour of Charleston suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Haunted Evening Horse and Carriage Tour of Charleston?
+
Around 1,547 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Charleston can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Charleston and add a light layer if any part of the 0.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Haunted Evening Horse and Carriage Tour of Charleston start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Charleston within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Charleston?
+
Charleston's best experiences are small: house museum tours with an architectural historian, Gullah heritage walks, harbour sails at sunset and Lowcountry food crawls through the market district. Plantation day trips vary enormously in how honestly they handle the history, and our ranking factors that in directly. On Outty we rank every Charleston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Charleston historical walking tour with a Professor of History at The Citadel, Historic Charleston Guided Sightseeing Walking Tour, Hidden Alleyways and Historic Sites Small-Group Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Charleston?
+
March to May and September to November, the two mild shoulder windows. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Charleston?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Haunted Evening Horse and Carriage Tour of Charleston?
+
Included: Hear spooky tales from Charleston’s history as you pass haunted alleys, graveyards, and a; Certified Guide; and 40-minute Haunted Evening Horse & Carriage Tour. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
