The Darkside of Charleston Tour (Rated R)

When we met for the tour, the guide warned us that he would frighten us with the stories he was going to tell. In fact, he said a woman had broke down into tears and, at this point, said if we didn't want to continue, we could ask for a refund. I think the woman broke down in tears from total boredom. Maybe, it was just the guide. I didn't think he could tell a good story. Initially, my group was up in front and we fell further and further behind in the group as the tour went on. At one point, my boyfriend just wanted to ditch the whole thing. I thought something better was coming and we stuck with the tour. I also thought it was odd that he didn't return us to where we started. Instead, just told us where we were located in conjunction with the Open Market and the tour was over. We were in Charleston for a very short time and enjoyed many of the other tours. This was a big disappointment.

I had great expectations for this tour - but they didn't pan out. It was R rated (as advertised) so it wouldn't be appropriate for young children. But more than that, it was rather depressing. I guess I had expected it to be a little more light hearted, but there was no light heartedness. Also, although our guide was knowledgeble, he had a very unusual accent that made him very difficult to understand - and he tended to speak somewhat quietly.

This tour was really interesting. Our tour guide was great. From the description of the tour we expected a few more historical secrets.

was learned on this tour. I enjoyed finding out how the town was run back then. Lane was a very good tour guide

We were interested in a night tour of Charleston that wasn't a ghost tour and we got it! This was well worth it and I will recommend it to friends!

My friend and I attended the Darkside of Charleston tour the last night of our week long stay and our only regret was that we didn't get to take it sooner!! Lindsay was a fantastic tourguide and and made the darkside seem like the only side to be on!! I would most definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to know the ins and outs of good 'Old Charleston'. Thanks for everything!

Our guide was extremely informed and did an excellent job. He has a passion for the history that is contagious.

couldn't understand leader very well...didn't enunciate well great topic, but not enough info wanted more info from leader, but didn't know enough about the topic to ask

Walking the same path of history's past was thrilling. Having a tour guide knowing facts, dates and people without hesitation while giving descriptive details about the seedy, dark and secretive past of such a historic city was captivating. I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend this tour while visiting Charleston, SC.

I ENJOYED THIS TOUR VERY MUCH AND THE GUIDE OBVIOUSLY HAD A TRUE INTEREST IN THE HISTORY OF CHARLESTON AND REALLY WANTED EVERBODY TO GET WHAT THEY WANTED FROM THE TOUR. HE IS A REAL ASSET AS A TOUR GUIDE.
