| My wife and I have been on several graveyard walks in historic southern cities and this one compared favorably all the way around. We were informed, entertained and given the inside scoop. Our guide was Tag and although he gave us a good workout walking from place to place, he entertained with the stories of Charleston's notorious deaths in a convincing way. He intertwined history and fables and included some of the lesser known but important elements of Charleston's past. I think others with us on the tour were having a good time too. Our tour took us inside the locked graveyards and down to the waterfront with informative stops in between. Thanks for a great evening! |

| We had tons of fun and a very informative time on Tag Legree's graveyard tour. He was well versed in the historical aspects as well as local lore and legends. He presented the material in a clear and concise manner without being too much like a high school social studies teacher. I highly recommend the tour, especially with Mr. Legree as a guide! |

| John did a great job with tour, very good at telling the story. Our 12 year old girls tried to get us to stay an extra day so we could come back the next night for the Haunted Jail tour. We will do that one next time we are in Charleston.
My wife and I enjoyed the tour of the city, the graveyards and the many stories. A good way to spend 90 minutes. Some of the adults in our group were convinced they captured ghostly images on their cameras. |

| My daughter and two teenage granddaughters went on this tour. It was interesting and informative, but I would not take it again. Our guide was not very enthusiastic and the ghost stories seemed contrived. Later after researching the "ghosts", I found some of the stories were not even accurate. The stories were told in parking lots with hurried walks in between. We took the 9:30 tour. One walk through a graveyard with an interesting story told there. However, most stories were accompanied by pictures shown by the guide instead of actual sites. |

| The guide seemed very knowledgeable on local history, and the story telling was engaging. The area is a bit crowded with the other "haunted" tours and there are many areas that are not accessible at night (as to not disturb the residents). However, it was an enjoyable and leisurely way to start exploring the historic district.
I would recommend that you do the tour in the spring or fall - we did it in mid-July, and even at 10pm, the area is very hot and muggy. |

| We really enjoyed our Ghosts and Graveyards tour. Our tour guide was very interesting and informative. She took the time to answer any questions our group had at any time. We learned alot about the history of Charleston, as well as, the ghosts that are still said to be around. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and interesting tour. |

| Although the tour was informative and our guide knowledgeable, the tour was not what we expceted. I attended with two nine year-old boys who were bored until the last few minutes and then they were scared due to the last story of a child buried alive.
I have new, though arcane, knowledge regarding the difference between a cemetery and graveyard. I now know that a Vice President is buried in Charleston three times over and that the good citizens of Charleston are still upset about the outcome of the Civil War. Recommend - I doubt it.
