| This tour was interesting although it ended up being a bit too intense for our 10 year old daughter who does have a good imagination. This although we went to the early (7 p.m.) tour which ends before dark. |

| It was not what I expected. I thought there was going to be tricks they use to make it look like the places were haunted. It was interesting and enjoyable though. It is just the guide telling historical ghost stories. The dungeon was cool but we didn't spend enough time in it. There were unexplored sections in the dungeon. I think the whole tour should be in the dungeon. |

| The dungeon was interesting but the guide seemed more interested in pointing out shadows as "ghosts" than about the history of the building and area. The rest of the tour was good and the stories were okay but again the guide was a little over-the-top and quick to try and pin "ghost encounter" on every noise or shadow. Previously took the The Haunted Jail Tour and would highly recommend it. |

| This tour really sucked!!!! After reading the the tour description and the fact that this tour was supposedly shown on the Travel Channel, I decided to take my mother and sister on the tour while they were down here visiting. I was really excited for it. Long story short, you get 4 or 5 cheesy stories about people who have died in Charleston. Most of the stories take place in the same alley where half the people didn't even die. The dungeon was very disappointing. Out tour guide stuttered and mumbled like a drunk. He did a terrible job presenting, informing, entertaining, or whatever you want to call what he does...The price for the 3 tickets I purchased was the scariest part of the tour. Your better off spending your money at the bar and listening to a local drunk tell stories. |

| The tour started out well with a tale of the ghost of the smokehouse, but went a little shallow in going to the Dungeon at the start of the tour. Very interesting facts and history about the ghosts of Charleston though. And finally the tour ended ubruptly in front of a cemetery without even going in to venture further and the tour guide just left it at that. Great trip in all but may have been better with a more dark and mysterious guide. Plus the tour should have ended up with the dungeon and took one through it a little more without having to worry about another tour coming along behind ours. |

| My boyfriend and I enjoyed the tour very much. Larry, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and told the stories really well. He kept the tour very interesting by discussing historical aspects and showing us personal pictures during the tour. He had a personal touch as well by helping us back to our car. I would highly recommend this tour to others. |

| While getting to have private access to the dungeon was very cool, there wasn't much more to the 90 minute tour. |

| I was very anxious for the Dungeon tour, as I had seen it featured on the Travel Channel and had been wanted to visit Charleston for quite some time! After doing the Graveyard and City Jail tours the previous night, I couldn’t wait for the Dungeon tour. However, once inside I was feeling left a bit disappointed. Our tour guide was wonderful and she had great knowledge of the city’s history which was great but the Dungeon itself left me feeling empty. I didn’t like the “staged” scene inside – it was a bit distracting and a little cheesy to say the least and it felt rushed in a way. Now it could have been that the wedding party upstairs was causing the distraction piece of that. I felt that the tour for being so long, would have spent more time on/in the Dungeon. I would still recommend (with caution) this tour to others though. I also think it would be good to group some of your packages together…having done the Ghost & Graveyard tour, a lot of the historical information was duplicated. I just didn’t think we got our monies worth. |
