Carriage Tours of Savannah

Very easy and pleasant to do business with. Took the 9:00 am Saturday tour, started on time very knowledgeable tour guide, wonderful horses which navigated the streets and traffic with ease. Loved the sound of the horses walking while listening to the narrative of the tour guide. I recommend this tour for good weather.

Was not happy at all with this company. Booked a private tour for four and were told we would have to wait over 30 minutes for the horse to arrive. When it did finally show up 45 minutes later they had a 2 person carriage attached instead of 4 person. We asked for a refund and were told that since we booked using a credit card they would have to figure it out later. I asked for a receipt or some kind of documentation and the lady told me to take a picture of the side of her booth. Called our bank instead to let them handle the dispute. Not pleased at all!

We got a pickup in the historic district for a private tour. We asked for a ghost tour since we were told we could personalize it to what we wanted. The woman trotted up on time. As she went into her spiel, we quickly realized she was giving us the history of the city. Okay, maybe it starts out with the history and then gets to the haunted stuff.
Nope.
We were getting a little irritated since our request obviously wasn’t relayed to the driver (we assume) but still enjoyed learning about the city. We thought when we came upon Colonial Cemetery and she started talking about the crypts and such that she would get to ghosts but she didn’t. We tried asking about them as we saw several other ghost tours at the actual cemetery but she said we could look up more about it. Then we came upon some haunted hotel with some mannequin in the window and asked about it and she said it was haunted but we’d have to go in to ask about it. Sigh. Given we paid an extra $ 50 to be picked up and tipped her $ 20, it would’ve been nice to have gotten what we asked for. We still learned a lot from the tour so there’s that.

Great romantic way to see Savannah :3
I booked a private tour last night, it was the last tour of the day and the overall experience was exceptional. We arrived 10 minutes early to make sure that we arrived on time and within minutes we boarded the carriage.
The meet-​up spot was a little difficult to find but I was able to call the company and ask for directions, when I found the meet-​up spot I felt stupid because it was quite obvious.
I saw a couple companies pass through and I was happy I choose the Carriage Tours of Savannah because he actual carriage was comfy and had a top to cover us from the slight drizzle that evening.
The young lady, who;s name I completely forgot even though she told us twice was sweet as pie. She has only been working there for a little over a year and I would have never guessed based on her knowledge and professionalism. Her and the horse, Shay had such great chemistry. He listen to all her commands flawlessly and she wasn’t bothersome or intrusive at all. She asked if we wanted a tour or jut a relaxing stroll of the city, she gave us some interesting tid bits and was kind enough to show us all the beautiful fountains at my personal request.
Honestly, I would go again. Great ride, tour guide and horse. I enjoyed every second and the time flew :)

We had a fabulous private tour (history & ghost combo) with Alyssa and the steady horse Dell. Our guide was wonderful, charming, knowledgeable and fun. It was a perfect evening. Thank you!

As you walk in historic Savannah, you will see horse carriages a lot so the kids are immediately drawn to the horses. We chose this company because the kids wanted two horses pulling the carriage instead of one. The price was reasonable, $ 22.00 per adult and our kids were free because they are under 5. The tour lasted about 50 minutes and it covered more history about the Girl Scouts founder than Savannah.
Our tour guide was not a native, she was from Ohio and not too friendly. It seemed she was just going thru the motions and delivering the same speech. Several people including myself threw out questions and they were answered quick with not much detail. It seemed as if she did not want to stray from what she had memorized.
The horses are trained very well. We had Sonny & Cher pulling our carriage and as soon as the tour guide said the words «step up», they would move forward. I would have liked to hear more stories about Savannah itself and less on the Girl Scouts Founder.

We took our daughter as a special event for her 9^th birthday — kids loved it; finally on a horse carriage! Super and friendly service, very very helpful staffs. Driver was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city. 50 minute amazing ride gave us a quick look of this amazing city.

With Dan as our guide, and Shay and King pulling our carriage, we had a very pleasant tour of historic Savannah. We got to see some beautiful homes and heard lots of interesting stories from Dan, without flying by various sites or being overwhelmed with information. Adult tickets are $ 21 for a 50 minute tour, and the experience was well worth it.

First, my bias for full disclosure, several of my friends went to SCAD for college and one was also a tour guide. There isn’t much about the basic Savannah history I don’t know. We decided on it mostly because my knee was bothering me after walking around all day. The guide was friendly and introduced us to the horse more than she introduced herself. I was okay with that as I’m a sucker for horses. It was nice to see the sights not on foot and have someone explain the finer points. There was nothing really new or interesting and the guide was a moderately good storyteller. Of course, it’s hard to impart a really good story while having to navigate a horse through traffic.
It was about $ 45 a person for the private carriage ride. I thought that was a bit on the high side for what we got (about $ 1 a minute). I suppose that’s all part of the Savannah tourist experience, though.

We were visiting Savannah for the day while we were vacationing on Hilton Head Island. If you are looking for a way to get an informative tour of Savannah without spending all day doing it, this is the way to do it! We did the private tour with our family (3 adults and 4 kids). Our tour guide was very informative and asked what things were we interested in seeing. She basically designed the tour to cater to our wants. So we wanted the history with a little bit of ghost stories (seeing that Savannah is one of the top haunted places in the country). The kids had a lot of fun and stayed quiet during the entire ride, never getting bored or over excited. You can take pictures of all the places you are driving by, thereby getting to see a lot more places than if you were trying to walk on foot. I’d say definitely check them out if you are wanting to do a tour of the city. This gave us exactly what we wanted, and then we had the rest of the day to go to the other places, restaurants, and shops that we wanted to check out. Highly recommended!

My husband had paid for a carriage tour for just the two of us. Even though it was blazing hot outside, the gentle breeze kept us cool and we brought drinks to enjoy on our ride. Our horse was Shay and our driver was Dan, a very nice gentleman who provided plenty of information about the various buildings and sites. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We traveled all around the historic area and were on the ride a good hour. It was a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend doing it. Just ask for Dan if you can get him.

Meh. Decent tour but compared to the carriage tour we had in New Orleans, this one came up short.
My recommendation and what I wish we had done was a walking tour.

I love horses so a carriage ride seemed like the perfect romantic way to spend our anniversary. We climbed aboard a well maintained carriage with a healthy looking horse, Shay. The ride was enjoyable– although be warned if you are trying to drink wine, like we were, it is tough on those brick streets! Our guide was nice but we ended up talking to her more about our hometown than Savannah. She did give us some info but I would have like to have heard more. That, or since it was our anniversary, she could have helped make it more romantic by not just chit chatting. Still, you can’t beat Savannah by horse drawn carriage!

Loved the guided tour of Savannah. Good tour guide. Friendly and knowledgeable. Nice way to see the city. Sit back, relax and take in the sights and sounds of Savannah.
Thanks for reading my review. This review is based on my person experience.

Our driver was funny and informative and the ride was beautiful and well worth it. I would recommend it to everybody and do it again!

We had a great time! I wish it was a bit longer, but that’s only because I enjoyed it so much. It was hard to take pics because of the streets and the horses being so wiggly. I have a 4 year old and it was fine. She loved it too! Would definitely go again. The price was very reasonable and the guide was knowledgeable. I only wish I could remember everything he said. It would be nice to have a little hand out to look at as we went along.

We took the ghost tour and I loved it! The staff was professional and the stories were entertaining and maybe a little funny. We tipped nicely (I think.)
We received free city parking inculded with our B&B but we ended up walking anyway.
Some of the travelers I went with I guess wanted more. But again this is just a horse-​drawn carriage with a man telling ghost stories. Ghost stories don’t have to be real and props aren’t going to drop from the trees this isn’t a haunted house. This is a horse-​drawn carriage tour with ghost stories within a city not a theme park.
Loved it!

On a late July trip to Savannah, my friends and I decided to take a carriage ghost tour. We booked the tour in the early afternoon for a 9:00 pm tour. We arrived 10 minutes before the tour, paid $ 10 for parking and waited for the tour to begin. Upon checking in for the tour, we were told that the tour would be delayed for 10 minutes in order to give the horses a needed rest. That was fine; however, the tour was delayed indefinitely. The inexcusably unprofessional staff proceeded to stand around, talk on their cell phones to friends, smoke innumerable cigarettes, and be generally lazy and disgusting before telling us, at 9:45, that the tour was cancelled. Sorry. They attempted to reschedule with no discount or incentive to return. This experience was infuriating and, needless to say, we will NOT be returning.
