| The tour was great. We enjoyed the guide and felt like she was very informative. I actually felt like someone touched me in the jail. I would take this tour again |

| Our tour guide I believe was Suzanne and she was wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the history behind the jail. Being new to Charleston this was a great way to get out and see things around this city. I will be doing more tours in the future. Thanks again for a great experience. |

| I really enjoyed the Jail Tour! It was a great old building that had a lot of history behind it. A lot of our pictures had unexplainable lights/spots in them, but one girl on our tour had a glowing outline of a person in her picture. It was really spooky. The tour guide was smart. She knew a lot about the jail. She kept us moving, but didnt rush anyone. My cousins and I enjoyed it very much and would definitely recommend it to others! |

Jail doesn't need 'haunted house' dramatics

| The jail looks like it should be haunted-very atmospheric. I am a semi-pro photographer, so I shot many pics in hopes of capturing something. I was not disappointed. I captured an inexplicable localized translucent haze outside of a window of the building, a tiny blue orb on an exterior wall- which upon magnification appeared three dimensional, as well as an invisible to the naked eye red orb in a completely dark jail cell. This was worth the price of admission. However, the tour guide was overdramatic with foot stomping, flashlight below her face, and a fun snap explosive. This detracted from the tour- the building doesn't need the 'haunted house' effects. My advice- keep as far away from the guide and group as possible, and take lots of pictures. |

| We went on the 7:00 tour and had a lot of fun. The unknown was exciting and hearing the history made it worth the trip. If your looking to get completely spooked I wouldn't recommend it, but I would do it again :) |

| I thought the jail was creapy, but enjoyed it and would definitely go again. My guide A.J. was great and very knowledgeable on his history of the jail and Charleston as a whole. |

| I thought it was a great tour and my 14 year old son and I really enjoyed it. It is a very spooky old jail and the real stories of jail life, torture...etc were scary enough. I would definitely do it again. |

| This tour was good but I thought we'd get to see more of the jail. Also, they allow cameras on this tour, which is fine but it was a HUGE distraction. When you have 15 people taking pictures one after another after another it seemed like flashes were going off every second of the tour. One little boy on our tour got sick and I think it was front all the flashes. |

Less than expected, more like a hoax.

| The tour was not terrible, but was less than I expected. The overall "scare" factor could have been improved had the tour guide not tried to intensionally scare you through their clapping and stomping, which made the tour seems more of a hoax. More than that, now that the jail is owned by a local college which holds classes within the jail, the interior is beginning to seems less authentic with certain rooms boarded up for class space plus random equipment like riding mowers in the basement give the sense that its all intended to be a prank. Though the tour guide felt the college would continue to allow the tour because they get a percentage of the ticket price, I feel that if "modernizing" the jail continues the less interested people will be about the whole experience, not to mention the fake scare tactics used by the tour guides. |
