| We had a really good time, the fact that it was a bit foggy made it even more fun. I really like that the tour guide promotes taking pictures and gives you time to do that. |

Decent, but not worth the money

| First off, our tour guide was great. She was fun and enthusiastic. However, 'The Dungeon' was a HUGE letdown. It is a small 30 x 30 foot brick room with fake dummies and rats all over the place. This is the 'money shot' and it fails to deliver. However, 'the filler' spots en route were more interesting than the dungeon as our guide gave us great stories. Though obviously embellished, they were interesting as they provided a small sliver of old Charleston culture. I keep hearing the Jail Tour is the one to take, but that one was all sold out. I cannot recommend this tour for someone looking for ghosts or a scare, but someone looking to pass 90 minutes on a rather easy walking tour, it may be worth your while. |

| Will book with this group again. Since it was Halloween month, I had hoped to be spooked a bit more. Went conservative on the tour since my hubby is a bit skiddish. Will go for the jail tour next time. Heard it's quite frightful. |

| We found the tour to be boring. The dungeon was unrealisitic with the wax figures.
Mostly just walking and standing listening to the guide telling stories that weren't very ghostly. |

Tour guide was not a good storyteller

| The tour guide rambled on and on without a destination in site. Her stories didn't make a lot of sense and simply weren't interesting, and certainly not scary. My 12 year old grandson LOVES scary things, thus the tours, but he thought she was boring and refused to go on the graveyard tour. |

| The tour guide was very knowledgeable and very good in her presentation. She was also very attentive to questions and one on one conversation. This tour was very good and we are going to take the other tours thanks to our tour guide and her professionalism. |

| The tour was fun in that we got to spend 15 minutes in the dungeon and then listened to four ghost stories, told by the guide in front of each sight: city hall, a church, a restaurant, a parking lot. That is all the hour and a half tour included, and while it was fun, it was not worth the $18. Also, according to other tourists it seems that the city hall is more haunted than the dungeon, so you can save $18 and visit city hall, which is free; or buy an $18 ghost story book. |

Fun, interesting, lacking accuracy

| Let me begin by saying the tour guide was magnificent! She was enthusiastic and funny, and without her the tour would have dragged. It was interesting, but I would hope the information given in the Dungeon (day v/s night) would mesh better with each other. Folktales were portrayed as fact in one or two instances, and (being a teacher) I fret over misinformation being spread! If we went in some more buildings, not just the Dungeon, it would have been more interesting. Walking by cemetary without a story? That was lacking! |
