What locals are saying
Old South Carriage Company is widely regarded as Charleston's most authentic carriage tour operator — a family-run institution since 1983 that locals consistently point to over competitors, carrying a 4.7-star average across 2,300+ reviews. The Haunted Evening Tour is the standout product, echoing its TikTok dominance, while the named draft horses (Rex, Godzilla, Prince, Rowdy) generate their own fan loyalty and mirror the brand's social storytelling around horse personalities. Criticism is occasional and minor — a guide described as 'kinda shouty' for back-row passengers, some management friction surfacing in employee reviews — but no meaningful quality-decline narrative exists, and the Confederate-uniform guide dress code is a quiet aesthetic friction point that rarely makes it into public reviews but may deter some visitors.
