| 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. |

| We went out with Hoon Calhoun, who's a great story teller! I always tell everyone that ghost tours are a great way to learn the history and lore of an area, even if you don't see any ghosts. Hoon was GREAT....he took extra time out with us and told some great stories! I'd recommend his tour anytime! |

| Thought it was a very good tour. Very historical and knowledgable, however we thought that there would have been a few more local ghost stories to accompany the tour. Loved our tour guide. Kind of disappointed that we only visited two grave yards, one that was not accessible to the tour and the other was open to the public. It was a good tour but I don't feel that it lived up to it's advertisement. |

| Our guide (sorry, I don't know her name), was terrific. It wasn't at all scarry, but it was informative. She was a very good storyteller, making lots of eye contact. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it for anyone visiting Charleston. |

| Our guide was alot of fun--he was very humourus and personable and the stories were very spooky. The graveyard at night was creepy, but totally cool. It was a good time and fun way to spend the evening. I would recommend this tour. |

Not enough graveyard for me

| I was excited when I read the brochure for this tour. Getting to go into a graveyard that other tours only get to see from outside the gates? Cool! Unfortunately, during the 1 1/2 hour tour, we were only inside the graveyard for the last 15 minutes. And we viewed another one from outside the gates. And that was it as far as graveyards. Which was disappointing to me because of my love for old graveyards.
The rest of the tour consisted of stopping at various locations and hearing ghost stories that didn't really even apply to the location where we were stopped. Don't get me wrong....I love a good ghost story (I have almost 100 books with nothing but ghost stories) but I didn't like the fact that they would stop in a location that had nothing to do with the story being told. Like they would say, "This occurred in a house 2 streets over, this is the address of the house, and after the tour feel free to go take a look at it". I understand that they are strictly regulated in Charleston as far as tours go. So, I know it's not the fault of the tour guides or even the tour company. If you want tours of actual haunted locations, getting to go practically right up to the front door, go to Savannah where there are no regulations. |

| Our tour guide was great. The tour was not scary, but rather a good overview/history. We went in one graveyard and then others we saw from the gate. We had a good time. |

| Fran was an excellent story teller who brought in the local history regarding different locations and stories. She was enthusiastic and easy to listen too. Godd projection of her voice and strong eye contact with all members of the tour. |

| This tour was the best one that I went on, the tour guide was great and knew his information very well. He also squeezed in an extra story at the end. I had a great time on the tour, I recommend it. |
