Charleston Ghost Carriage Tours

Carriage is the format Charleston is known for, and it is priced accordingly. Here is what the extra actually buys.

What a carriage tour is

A horse-drawn evening route through the historic district with a driver narrating throughout. You are seated the whole time, which is the real difference: a walking tour asks you to keep up in the dark on uneven pavement, and this does not.

Why it costs more

Carriages carry fewer people than a walking group, the animals and the licence cost money, and the routes are restricted. Compare the strip on each card against the category and you will see every one of them sitting in the upper band. That is the format, not the operator.

When to take a walking tour instead

If you want to stand in a graveyard, take a walking tour - carriages stay on the street. If you are travelling with someone who cannot walk an hour on cobbles after dark, take the carriage and do not think about the price again.

Every option here is dearer than three quarters of US ghost tours, which top out around $39.25 - this is a premium format, not a premium operator.
