Good tour, great guide but too short and only went in three rooms... For such a large building we thought we would see more... |

Our tour guide seemed very rehearsed. It was not scary at all. He took us inside three room. The rooms were empty, nothing in them. It didn't feel like you were in a jail, the whole group was bored and disappointed. The stories were not scary or even interesting. At one point he even told us that the jail was bought by a school and they come in during the day and work on projects..........I do not recommend this tour! |

It was cool to see the old building and hear about the history, but it was definitely not scary. The jail is now an architecture school so you could only see limited areas and there were school signs and bulletin boards around. It can't be that haunted if they have offices and classes in there. Cool building to walk around outside but not worth the tour. |

We took the 10 pm Haunted Jail Tour on Sunday June 26th. The tour was extreamly imfprmative and our guide was great. There was no paranormal activity while we were there that being said I would highly recommend this tour. I would definitely take this tour or any tour with this company if I make it back to Charleston! |

Went on this tour with the expectation of seeing a "real" preserved historic jail.
We were guided through 2 rooms that were under construction by some Architectural college (complete with fresh drywall). There were a couple of Halloween Props made of string in one, and a fake cell/cage in the other.
We were then led out.
I want my money back! |

I live in the Charleston area and thought this would be a fun activity for some family members I had in town. The tour would have probably been ok but it was so hot inside the jail that I thought my mother was going to pass out. Several people in our party ended up leaving early. I know it was June in Charleston and maybe I should have known better, but come on how about at least giving us some fans. |

Tour guide made the visit to the jail quite intriguing. Didn't experience any "spirits", but the stories of what happened in the jail were very interesting. Son enjoyed this "ghost tour" more than the one we did in Savannah. |

Our tour guide was extremely nice and funny. Although we did not experience any 'GHOSTS' we learned a lot interesting history about the jail and the inmates. Enjoyed it very much. Would recommend at least one tour per night without children. |
