Our guide was excellent and knew a considerable amount of History not only the jail but Charleston in general. Very patient and took the time answer all questions. Very likable and friendly.
The jail its self was incredible - very spooky place with a horrible history. |

Very entertaining |

Me and my boyfriend went on this tour and didnt know quite what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. We had a great tour guide and this jailhouse is very very creepy but interesting at the same time. I would recommend it for any visitors with some extra time on their hands. |

Good tour but noise from students working |

I enjoyed the tour but I have to say that the noise from the Clemson students working downstairs really took away from the whole experience. They had saws running and it was noisy and easily heard from inside the jail. I don't think they should be working during the tours. |

Our guide was Suzanne. She was very good and possessed great knowledge of the jail and of the surrounding community. She did a very good job of keeping us on the edge and in tuned to what was going on. I would recommend this activity to anyone I knew was going. |

Enjoyed tour very much. Guide was a great storyteller and made the historical facts of the events that happened there come to life. Would recommend this activity to anyone who wants to get an historical aspect on a side of Charleston that is not covered in the usual tours. |
|
Fascinating and very educational and fun. |

Suzann provided an excellent tour of the old jail. She was well informed and explained the history of the jail in a way that kept everyones attention. Very good tour and I recommend it as one of the best of Charleston. |
|
Lots of fun but would go in cooler weather |

We loved the tour, but it is extremely hot during the summer; there is no air conditioning and no breeze through any of the windows. Take a bunch of water if you go during August! I would do the tour in the Fall when they offer to spend the night in the jail. |

my husband watches all those shows ghost hunters etc. so i bought tickets for this tour as part of our anniversary weekend getaway gift and it was really fun we learned allot about charleston and the jail but it does make the hairs stick up on the back of your neck we caught some orbs in the pic's we took and we did the 9pm tour a fun late evening thing for adults. |
|
Neat history facts but lacked suspense |

The ghost jail tour guide we had was exceptional at her job. She got me hooked on the tour before we even set foot inside the jail house. She was passionate about telling the story and setting the stage for us. To be honest I couldn't have had any more anticipation to actually get inside the jail house and start the inside tour. In the end though I was a little dissapointed with the inside tour. I was genuinely never really scared at any point, and neither was my date. I was one of the few snapping pictures constantly to try and capture any ghostly images on camera, and we didn't have a single image come out ghost positive. I am SURE that if I had caught something on camera though I would be singing a completely different tune!
I think if there was a wall of ghost pictures placed outside the tour start location, where tourists could see all the ghost images over time, it would be highly beneficial towards making you believe you will really be in a jail house with ghosts. Because I didn't capture anything on film it made me wonder how true the previous ghost accounts were....even with a guide who did a great job convincing me ghosts often are felt or pictured within the jail.
