I found the tour interesting and the tour guide was great at relating the stories. There were some children on our tour and they were a bit distracting, but the guide dealt with them very well. I didn't find the tour scary or frightening, but it was entertaining. The guide walked a little fast from stop to stop, but other than that it was a very enjoyable experience. |

A regular daytime walking tour may be good, but the ghost tour was terrible. We first spent at least 15 minutes outside a church graveyard while the guide showed us a highly unbelievable picture he believed to be of a ghost visiting one of the graves. A tour of the dungeon and another site were more interesting, but took much too long. Spend the time for a daytime walking or carriage tour, and leave the evening for a nice meal and maybe some entertainment. |

My husband and I enjoyed The Ghost and Dungeon Tour very much. Our guide was interesting, knowledgeable, and a very good story-teller. This tour certainly lent a new perspective to semi-familiar sites (and sights). Highly recommended for entertainment AND historical-background value. |

Very informational tour of the history of Charleston and its gosts. My girlfriend loves ghosts and loved the tour. We're going to have to go back to find a ghost though. |

We had a great time. Didn't even notice when the hour passed. There is not much walking involved so don't worry about being too strenuous. We did the tour right after dinner so it worked out perfectly for our siesta.
The best part of the tour was listening to our guide telling the ghost stories. He was very, very talented. You could close your eyes and feel like you're back in history in the 1700s and 1800s. The Dungeon visit was the cherry on the cake!
One think that bother me a little was the amount of cameras flashes right on my eyes most of the time. You were highly encouraged to take as many photos as you can just in case a ghost shows up on your photo! So if you take the night tour be prepared to feel like you are under paparazzi. We just sit few steps back most of the time to deal with it.
Loved our guide (unfortunately can't remember his name). He wore a yellow jacket.
Bottom line best evening entertainment for just $16. See for yourself.

We were out on the street and in a parking lot for a total of four stops and four long stories. Dungeon was interesting, but we didn't even see the whole thing. There was a whole other side that we didn't get to look at.
Did not do justice to the great number of ghost stories and historic sites in the downtown area. |

Overall we enjoyed our experience, however, i felt like the tour guide went into too much detail and spent a lot of time at each location. In 2 hours we only got 3 ghost stories, as opposed to other tours I have been on where there are multiple stories which make it more interesting. At the first stop he told an intensly detailed ghost story during which he recounted a labor story experienced by the main character. however he couldn't know that myself and my friend are both labor and delivery nurses, and the details he told in the story didn't make any medical sense. And that of course leads you to wonder what else has been embellished.
Anyway, bottom line - less details - more stories :-) |
