Savannah Carriage Tours emphasizes knowledgeable narration and an intimate pace that allows visitors to absorb architectural details, historic squares, and local lore. Vehicles are traditional: a horse-drawn carriage for private and public rides, and an authentic 1890s omnibus for the haunted experience. Safety and respect for historic streets guide operations, and tours are timed to fit busy travel schedules with concise 45-50 minute durations. The company’s offerings are designed for travelers seeking an accessible, atmospheric introduction to Savannah’s heritage, whether looking for a private customizable outing, a sociable public ride, or a spine-tingling seasonal ghost tour.
