My wife and I enjoyed this tour. I've only been on one other walking tour like this and it was one of the Vampire tours in New Orleans. I thought, Amanda, our tour guide was great and did a good job delivering the spooky stories while we got to walk around downtown Charleston. I was more interested in the history and she managed to throw in some interesting stuff there too. We had a really good time overall and even left with some tips on other places to eat and visit while we stayed in Charleston. |

My husband and I, locals, took a couple of visiting friends. They thought the history was the most interesting part. The ghost stories (~5 depending on who you ask) were G-rated (a good thing for us) but not quite what we had hoped for. They told us another company has bought all the rights to enter cemetaries, so this tour didn't. We didn't enter any structure where a Charleston ghost was ever spotted. We did look over one cemetary fence for a story.
Over all, the tourguide gets good marks for enthusiasm and voice, the story lines were average and the path was average. |

The tour guide was good, but the brochure led me and my groupd to believe that we were going to go into some of these buildings. However, instead was received a tour of the outside of these premesis. |

I have been on other tours in Charleston that were much more informative - more stories I guess. I have also been on a ghost tour in Chicago that really put this tour at a lower level. I felt we spent more time walking than hearing good ghost stories. |

History with a twist:) |

What a wonderful way to start our vacation:) At first I was worried about the size of the group however the company was well prepared and split the group with two tour guides. Our tour guide was excellent. He was very dynamic and knew Charleston; Ghosts, legends and good eats. Thank you for a very memorable experience:) |

Not enough ghost stories |

While our tour guide, Ian, was a walking encylopedia of knowledge about the founding of America, the Charleston area, and the history of the buildings in the town he was a bit brief on the ghost stories and knowledge. We were all expecting more in the way of scary stories, building access, and/or creepy situations. Unfortunately, we didn't get that. We all enjoyed Ian and he was a good storyteller. He just didn't tell us enough ghost stories. I am not sure what other options are avaialbe for ghost tours but we will recommend to our friends to shop around before booking this one. This was the first one that came up on my Google search and I didn't do my homework. I will take another ghost tour of Charleston but no the Buxton Tours one. |

This tour was horrible. It was led by the author of the book who must be really burnt out on this stuff. He mentioned parts of stories and left out important details that actually make them stories. No haunting details. Nothing to even make your spine tingle. I wanted to leave early to be able to get into a restaurant, but didn't want to be rude. The most interesting thing were the antics of another tour guest. |

The information was a little jumbled and yet covered the places we visited. It was very matter of fact and reflected the mentioned book. |
