Our tour guide took us to a graveyard where we only got one ghost story and then told a couple little graveyard facts that had no creepiness to them at all. Then our tour guide walked us about 4 blocks down to a street intersection where because she was sweating and didn't really want to walk anymore stood for a little over an hour and told us a few ghost stories that were long, boring and not at all creepy. We really didn't have a good time and saw no haunted places. |

While the tour through the cemetery was very interesting we only toured one. We would have liked to have more time in more cemeteries. |

The tour itself was informative, interesting and fun. However, it was way too short for the amount of money we paid! |

My wife and I have been on a number of ghost tours, as well as general informational tours of the areas we've visited, and this was the worst one. This was a stroll along the streets with an occasional stop at a historic building ( graveyard tour was disappointing). No ghosts (or even a chance at seeing some phenomana) and long winded stories. We had several kids in our tour and the tour guide spent most of the time talking to th kids and dumbing everything down to their level. I really suggest you not take this tour. Like I said, a very bad use of time and money! |

It was neat to learn a bit about the spookier side of Charleston. I would have enjoyed a bit more history over hokey, though. The story-telling from our guide was decent enough. The tours groups were so closely shadowing each other that it was hard not to overhear the group in front or in back of you. The one in front of us seemed to be an excellent story teller when I could hear her. She was also from Bulldog so it seems it might be hit or miss with this crew. As an operation, Bulldog seemed to have it down to a science;we were in and out quickly. I know they are in the business of making money but it would have been nice to have one or two less tours heading out together. Tripping over one another really took away from the experience. |

I went expecting more that what we received. It wasn't bad but we only went a couple of places and the stories were very long. I've been on other ghost walks in other towns and they included more places than what we received. It would have been better to have gone a few more places and had shorter stories. We spent over half of our time in the graveyard with stories that did not even pertain the the graveyard. Our guide was a great story-teller, Just expected more for my money. |

I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Charleston. Our guide, Tad, was very knowledgeable on the history of Charleston's ghosts, graveyards and urban legends and made the night fun and interesting at the same time. |

Charleston tidbit history up close and personal

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone! Our guide, Tad, provided historical information on the different spots we walked to, the walking was not far, and he backed his information with references to newspapers and online searches. It was an up-close and personal history lesson of tidbits on people from Charleston's past. Some friends joined us from out of state the next day, and we used info from this tour throughout the rest of the weekend with them....now they're interested in the tour! |

Our tour guide was knowledgable and fun to follow around the city. His story telling ability was exceptional and made the experience that much more enjoyable. I would take this tour again and recommend it to anyone who likes a good scare. |

We had an excellent time on the tour. Our guide, Hoon Calhoun, was very knowledgable and a great storyteller. The next time we are in Charleston we would definatly do another tour. |
