| I really enjoyed my tour of the jail. It was very historical and I enjoyed the knowledge I obtained while having fun. I really think that this tour is for all ages and that our tour guide was extremely professional and informative. Thank you for a great time! |

| We have been on other ghost walks and this was so far our favorite. Our guide was full of energy and really enjoyed what she was doing and that made the walk even more fun. If you don't FEEL something you are being way to serious. |

| While this wasn't a complete trainwreck, I just can't recommend it to someone else. Having to hike to the location of the jail after paying $36 seems like they are asking a lot. The tour only takes you to a couple different rooms within the jail and it's mostly dark, I think because they are hiding all of the projects the school is working on. This place can't be too spooky if they have students working in it all day. The tour guide (Karen?) was pretty entertaining but it definitely felt like she was repeating her lines for the 100th time that day. There was really nothing even spooky about the entire tour. |

| We had a very relazed quide, who stressed both the history and the importance of preservation. Also great stories to share and our party loved the tshirt with the saying on the back. They took a photo of it. |

| I have been to Charleston many times and love the city; however, if this were my first v isit, I would probably not return. We had a weekend for golf, the jail tour, and some dining. Two out of three were good, but the jail t our was a pathetic excuse for a haunted house. The historical information was minimal and the aparatus that supposedly held prisoners was clearly purchased recently from Home Depot. I wasted $90 that I could have used for another carriage tour (that was informative and relevent to the city's past). I travel often to a variety of places, but this tour was the first truly ridiculous encounter I've experienced. Other tourists in my hotel were turned off by the city b/c of this tour. I hope no one only experiences the jail tour - it is not representative of a wonderful city with other worthwhile things to do and see. |

| I have lived in Charleston all of my life, and this is the first time I have taken one of the haunted tours. I really thought that it would be an interesting, fun, and existing time for my fiance, my mother, and my 11 year old son. I was extremely disappointed. I can think of a lot better was to spent $64 in forty five minutes. |

| My husband and I did the haunted jail tour and WOW. Scary from the moment you see the jail at night. Creepy! You could feel the very presence of evil from the get go. A must see! |

| Really looking forward to this tour, what a let down, We felt it was rushed and the tour guide must have had other plans for the evening. We were told this was the scariest tour, there was nothing scarey about it. We did a ghost tour in Key West that really puts the jail tour to shame. Charleston is a great historical town don' t waste your time on this tour. |

| If you want to see a ghost, then join TAPS! If you would like to see a piece of history with some unfortunate tales, then come visit the Old City Jail. I enjoyed learning about the history of Charleston's Jail and the people who stayed there. Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. This is perfect for people who want a visual picture the horrible past accompanied by this jail. |
