Haunted Charleston Walking Tour

Rebel led us on a great adventure. Having passed many other large tour groups on the street, I appreciated that Black Cat tours keeps the groups small and intimate.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Haunted Charleston Tour from Black Cat Tours. Rebel Sinclair was a delight - extremely knowledgeable, articulate, and a terrific story teller. We selected Black Cat specifically because Rebel is a published author on the subject and felt she would provide the most credible information. Her views toward the paranormal were satisfying and far more plausible than what you get from TV or Hollywood. Charleston is so rich with history that the tour would have been just as worthwhile without the ghost stories! Thanks to Rebel for such an enjoyable experience! Brent & Michelle, Mississippi

I was really looking forward to taking this tour because the Black Cat Tour website states they are the only tour company that has nighttime access to the Unitarian Church graveyard. DO NOT BELIEVE THIS. The tour was a mixed spattering of local lore, a little history and little "personal" experience by the tour guide. The final stop along the tour was at the back gate of the Unitarian graveyard where we stood listening to yet another "personal" experience of the tour guide. At the end of her story, we are simply told that this was the end of the tour. What about going into the graveyard like you advertised on your website???? Folks, you will have as much fun just walking around Charleston on your own and coming up with your own stories, seems to work for the tour companies.

Would recommend this tour, definitely. My wife is now creeped out by Charleston.

I was fortunate to ask around and be given the name of Black Cat Tours; as their brochure was not available at my hotel. I thought Rebel did a great job of telling the stories in a true paranomal nature, which I really liked. She painted a vivid picture of Charleston's history; and was quite knowledgeable. I felt like I found a hidden gem.

The tour guide, Rebel made the tour both interesting and fun. She is very knowledgeable and believes in what she is doing. It was the highlight of our Charleston stay and we will definitely take the tour with Rebel the next time we are in Charleston. I cannot say enough about Rebel. She even contacted another tour guide to get some information for us.

"Rebel" is quite enthusiastic with her information, and well educated on her subject. There was a bit of changing "in and out" of character which was a bit disconcerting. Also, having to wait for other tours to finish at certain locations certainly disturbed the "mood" of the walk. The fact that there were three teenage girls in the group meant that several times our great tour guide appeared to "edit" her information. We would probably take this tour again, but probably would book the later one to try to avoid these problems.

We definitely recommend this tour for those visiting Charleston who want to learn more about the other side of Charleston's history. The tour moves throughout the city and lets you visit sites where "odd" occurrences have occurred in the past. The tour leaders are very informative and know their history well. They are open to any questions and make the tour fun as well as educational.

Our group thoroughly enjoyed Rebel's narration of the various "ghost stories". It was interesting to see and hear about various locations of sightings. Her enthusiasm and interest in Charleston's history made the tour a most pleasant experience despite the heat.

I loved this walking tour! I've been coming to Charleston since I was a child to visit relatives, but I never walked the streets at night, which was interesting in itself. Rebel really knows her stuff, and she made the ghost stories come alive with her flair for storytelling. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in some different and not as well known stories of Charleston.
