| Me and my friend that I took this tour with are both self described chickens and were a bit nervous. Our fears were however unfounded (at least with out group). The guide was entertaining and we were glad we had him when we passed another group where their guide was literally reading the tour to them. The only thing that disappointed us was we expected to actually go inside the haunted places. of the 5 or 6 places we visited we only physically went inside the dungeon, other wise we stood outside on the street and looked in the windows of the so called haunted locations from afar. Even us chickens wanted a bit more of a eerie encounter that standing on a street corner and hearing ghost stories. Otherwise, it was awesome and entertaining. |

| We were able to reschedule after Tropical Storm Ernesto came through. It was an enjoyable walk filled with nice historical information that adds a different level of appreciation for Charleston. |

| I can't complain - this was a very fun thing to do while in town and allowed us to see the city at night and hear stories. I was hoping it was going to be scarier though. And I also wondered how realistic some things were. For example, while in the dungeon, we were alerted to the fact that a chain was moving on its own. I did see it moving and it kept going for awhile but I'm still not convinced it was for real and not just a scam so that tourists would think they saw something. I would definitely recommend going though since it's not that expensive and is something cool to do at night. |

| This tour was basically a walking tour through the city at night, with one stop in the old city jail. The other stops were at street-corners or in parks. About 5 "ghost stories" were told, all but 1 of which could have been told anywhere (ie, the location at which we stopped had no bearing at all on the story). The first stop (at the jail) was more interesting than the rest, given that (a) we were in an interesting location, and (b) the stories were related to the location. As I said before, the rest of the tour could have been undertaken (pardon the pun!) at any location in town, at any time of day.
To her credit, our guide (Barbara) did her best to deliver the stories through her somber, dead-pan delivery. There are so many graveyards in town, I'm surprised that none of these were visited.
All in all, it definitely was not worth the $17 price. |

| We really enjoyed our tour and our guide. We'd rate this a 6 if we actually saw some ghostly activity. Inside tour of dungeon (not offered by other tours) was quite interesting. |

| This was a very interesting tour. After the tour our group noticed that upon our arrival to Charleston we walked the same areas as the tour. We did not know what the tour would be and found it strange that we had randomly walked the same streets earlier in the day as we were just wandering. The stories were interesting and took you back to a different time. |
