The tour guide spend the bulk of the tour on a story about a resident of Charleston (he is researching for a book) . It was an interesting story, but in the end we only got a tour of one building which was a former house of prostitution. He did tell a few interesting stories, but seemed more focused on his writing career, than on actually giving a walking tour. |

I would recommend the tour, it was fun and interesting. The tour guide knew what he was talking about. But be prepared to walk as it is a walking tour. Even for locals it is something fun to do. |

My daughter and I had a blast. We didn't see any ghosts :-( but we did get to see a beautiful 500 year old tree. Lane did a great job, was incredibly knowledgeable and just had a great presence. |

It was okay. The guide was interesting and animated. The topic was prostitution only, not other "dark side" topics we expected. We could have sat in an auditorium and saved the rubber on our shoes...or gone out to a nice dinner instead. |

the tour guide was awesome and obviously loved history -
best "night" tour that i have done - and i have done a lot -
there is nothing really rated "R" about it - the history itself is sometimes gruesome - not for kids, but very interesting to adults - i think our whole group loved it -
WHERE COMFORTABLE SHOES - ground is unstable and it is DARK |

loved it!! |

Our guide gave us so much detailed information, including names and dates of the events. A week later and I'm still telling my friends and family members stories. We'll be sure to book another tour on our next visit to Charleston. |

Intriguing! |

You can take a carriage ride and get a good, normal look at old Chalestown and new Charleston. If you want to know what went on while this historic city was being developed, take this tour and experience the not so politically correct side of life in colonial and civil war Charelston. |

THE TOUR WAS OKAY. |

I must admit that I was super psyched about the tour after all the reviews. I was disappointed though because the tour lasted longer than expected but I wish it would have lasted longer. I feel there was a lot of information given but i wanted to hear so much more. After the Darkside tour, we immediately went to the Jail for another tour. The jail tour was not at all scary and nothing like i expected. It was not worth the money. I am not sure if it was the tour guide or the jail itself. I feel as though it might have been our tour guide. Another couple in the darkside tour said they had taken the jail tour and loved it. So I am assuming our tour was not exciting because of our tour guide. |

Very good tour - would recommend |

Found the tour more realistic than many of the "ghost tours". |

Well, there wasn't much walking on this walking tour. For an 1 1/2 time, we probably walked a good block or two. we mainly huddled in groups around tables as he read script from the pictures he showed us. The title fo the walking tour is a little deceiving as well. From the brief description one understood that there was talk of prostitution, brothels, and other taboo subject matter; however, there was nothing about murder, mystery, or many other stories. i Figure this tour was just okay. I did enjoy one of the three stories he told. I hope this was helpful. I would recommend the dungeon or graveyard tours moreso than this one. oh... plus, it said it was for mature audiences, but that must have just been for the words prostitution and transgendered b/c it wasn't very graphic. |
