| 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. |

| 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 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. |
