| wow! we were shocked at the rudeness and complete distaste of our tour guide- IAN. he was a nightmare in itself and scarier than any ghost! his manners were unacceptable and he actually made 3 of our group members cry! he brought his personal life into the story and it was a mess! please listen to the many bad reviews on this company especially the guide and do not go!instead go elsewhere! i wish we did! |

| i liked the ghost tour but it was not great .
i had an better experience in New Orleans with a haunted tour, and our guide their was awsome. we had also a stop in a local pub where they brewed their own beer, or you could order something else their.
so we saw more of new orleans in that tour. this tour was more a thirteen in a dozen one. i think the guides can make the difference during tours
but its just an opinion |

| The tour started off with a history of Charleston to set the mood. We started off walking after about 25 minutes of learning about the local history and immediately walked into the busiest part of Downtown on a Saturday night - wish that could have been avoided because we couldn't hear our guide. But we then quickly returned to exploring the alleyways and getting immersed into the spooky side of the city. We ended our tour, ironically enough, in a graveyard. The graveyard of the Unitarian church is beautiful during the daytime and I had only looked through the gates at night, but during the tour we were allowed to enter the graveyard! We were thoroughly immersed in the dark with the looming live oaks and their swaying Spanish moss - it was awesome to end the tour there! Our guide was great and super enthusiatic! |

| I was down in Charleston for a wedding the weekend of Oct 23-24, 2009 and my cousin and I decided to take a ghost tour. I had been on this same tour with this company, right before their Ghosts of Charleston book came out. Edward Macy, who was one of the authors of the book, was our tour guide and he was wonderful! I wanted to take this one again, since this was my cousin's first ghost tour and because I had had such a great experience the last time. Needless to say, I was not disappointed!! Our tour guide was Ian and he was wonderful! He was really nice and was very knowledgeable on what he was talking about. He had a great delivery and we loved all of his little puns and jokes! The best part was when he told us that he had seen a ghost himself and took us to the very place he had seen it! I would highly recommened this tour to anyone that would like to learn some Charleston history and hear some really great ghost stories. To Ian and all of Tour Charleston, keep up the good work and I will definitely be back to take the other tours you offer!! |

| Our guide was incredibly kind, but definitely on the dull side. For a ghost tour, you'd prefer someone a little more dramatic or skillful in verbal presentation. Some interesting stories, but not worth the $$ if you're looking for something fun and exciting. |

| Our guide was the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide for a ghost tour that our family has ever experienced. We have been on ghost tours in the UK (London and York), Edinburgh, Paris, Washington, DC, New York, and Annapolis. Never before had we hung on every word of the guide who was in perfect character for the entire tour. Additionally, there was so much other Charleston history that was skillfully woven into the ghost tales that it was educational as well. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Charleston, SC. |

| We signed up for the Pirate Ghost Tour, but saw nothing on Pirates. We have been on ghost tours before, but this one was very average. |

| Our tour guide was enthusiastic, informative, and very knowlegeable. We were however disappointed that we did not see a number of the sites listed on the brochure. |
