My husband & I took this tour on his birthday & we had a great time. Our tour guide was so interesting to listen to & had amazing knowledge of Charleston's history. He was open to any questions & provided as much background on the areas we visited as desired. The highlight was when he took us to an incredibly spooky graveyard to finish out our tour.

Lindsay kicks some ass, and was a great pleasure to be around and had the personality to make you wanna be around her and listen. She took the time to tell some pretty great stories, as well as where they were. I think we spent too much time under the old market with the back history of Charleston. Instead we could have been out seeing some other shady spots! Cut that part down some, and your headed towards a grand tour. Oh, and maybe extend it to 2 hours, so you can fit in just a little more. I will definetly recommend this to anyone I know going to Charleston.

Guide is very knowledgable and a great story teller. Wouldnt recomend in the summer months as the bugs can be annoying. Overall though, a really good tour.

Cool and Informative

I was kind of hoping for a more scary, ghost-story-telling tour, but it turned out to be very informative. While we were sight-seeing in the day time we visited some churches and graveyards, not knowing we would later visit them on the tour and learn their history . So I suggest visiting the graveyards during the day as well. If you like American history at all you will really enjoy this tour. Charleston is an amazing city rich with history and apperantly ghosts.

Disappointing and a bit boring....
Mon, Aug 11, 08   10:00 PM Khartwell Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Unspecified
We expected a broader range of dark tales, i.e. murder and other crimes, not a 90 minute lecture on prostitution. Our guide, Lindsey, was more interested in hearing herself talk and lingered much too long at each site. We got the point and she just continued to ramble on, trying to embellish the story with her own experiences that had very little to do with anything. The language and material were not problematic as our kids are 17, however, her style was annoying. My husband felt as if she did not present enough tales to fill up a 90 minute tour. Frankly we were all quite bored.

VERY INSIGHTFUL

Our tour guide, Lane , was very knowlegeable and knew vast details about history that we never would have heard about on one of the group tour buses. Very interesting, little know facts about Charleston. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Half the fun was listening to Lane's authentic "Charlestonian" accent. Would highly recommend for all.....Yankees may wish to bring a translator or a "How to Speak Southern" dictionary, rather than bashing Lane's accent!!

We only stayed on tour for 20 minutes!

We could not understand a word the tour guide was saying. I am not even sure if he knew what he was talking about. We ended up going back to the office and asking if we could reschedule. We got our gift certificates back and are now planning on going on a different tour with a different guide!!!!!!!!!
