| For my taste the tour included too few sights. Be aware that most of your time will be taken up walking to the sights. When our tour was over our guide left myself and the 3 other women in the group about 4 blocks from our starting point and told us he would be fined if he talked to us any further. This was after he made it clear he accepted tips.
Just not what I was expecting. |

Excellent Guide!

| Our family thoroughly enjoyed the ghost tour! The guide was awesome. The history and commentary were both equally enjoyable! The Unitarian cemetery is "to die for!" (Ha! ) We'll highly recommend this to all our traveling buddies. |

| I would highly recommend this tour to locals as well as travelers. I was able to learn about the history of Charleston and some of its early inhabitants from ghost-story characters. The end of the tour took place in the Unitarian graveyard (which was roughly 200 years overgrown) and it added a lot to the atmosphere. Lots of fun- even for non-believers. |

The Graveyard was the BEST!!!

| Our guide was very knowledgable about the city and history of Charleston. His story telling ability was absolutely absorbing; you just could not tear yourself away from his words. Each stop on the tour had extensive history where the guide captured your imagination and you felt you were back in time reliving the event. The graveyard was one of the best and eeriest that I have ever been in. I do not want to give anything away about the setting. One has to be there to see and feel the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the haunting of Old Charleston and its ghosts. |

| The tour was very thought provoking. I enjoyed the walk through dowtown Charletson. The guide was very knowlegable about the area and it's ghost. |

| Our guide, I believe his name was Ian, was very informative as he took us around. The only disappointing thing was that we could only stand outside of buildings, except the cemetary, and here the stories. We were hoping to be in the actual dwellings of the places where the ghosts were seen.
Thank you,

| I was very interested in learning more about Charleston ghost stories. The presenter was knowledgeable but didn't stay "in character" during the tour which diluted the effect of the stories. The walk through the historic areas of Charleston was interesting but you get much more detail taking one of several carriage tours. |

Informational, Beautiful Sights, Creepy Graveyard

| Our guide had been with the company for 15 years and clearly knew what he was talking about.
If you are looking for a haunted house, scary masks and screams, this tour is not for you. If, however, you are interested in seeing some beautiful sights, hearing some interesting tales with some neat history mixed in this is for you.
We started at the circular fountain and then made our way through dueling alleys, haunted storefronts, past cemeteries and finally concluded our tour with a visit into (yep, into) the Unitarian Graveyard.
The Unitarian Graveyard was certainly the creepiest place on the tour.
I enjoyed the walk through Charleston, the historical facts, and the great ghost stories, but don't expect people jumping out saying, "BOO!".
Great tour for someone who wants a mix of storytelling and sightseeing. |

| When I had originally booked the tour I thought I had entered it for 9:30 pm. I really did not look at my confirmation regarding the time. We went to meet for the tour and no one showed up. I then looked at the confirmation very closely and saw that it was for 7:30. I know the letter stated there is no refund and no rescheduling so we ended up losing our money. |

| We really enjoyed our tour and especially our guide Ian. He was very knowledgable about the places visited as well as history of Charleston. Only negative comment was wish that we visited more ghostly venues. |
