We enjoyed Charleston, and some of the stories were good. The tour guide should have been more dynamic and polished in his storytelling. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that we took the 9:30pm tour, but I thought it also would have been more interesting if we could actually see inside some of the places that we visited (e.g. the dungeon). Also, the fact that we apparently couldn't even visit the outside of many of the places because of residential zoning restrictions, took away a bit from the enjoyment of the stories. It would have been better if the tour was more focused on stories about places that are available to visit, or if some other technique was used to better put the stories into context.
Overall, the tour was enjoyable, but not great. We had previously taken a walking ghost tour in London and it was far superior. |

Was a good tour with lots of information but not scary and didn't seem to follow same guidelines set in advertisement through the company; was hoping it to be a little more aprehensive with the "GHOST" theory; also not as many stories told as was first thought from the add either. Overall ...good .......recommended for the family style so as not to scare children but not as 'spooky' as would have likened to hear and see. |

My husband and I were extremely disaapointed. We were highly anticipating this tour and could not wait to do the tour after reading a Southern Living review. Unfortunately, it did not live up to our expectations. A tour is only as good as your tour guide. We felt that it was boring and stale. |

The Ghost Walk was very good and was enjoyed by our family on a very hot night in Charleston. The presenters were informed and interesting, even our young grandchildren were interested in what they had to tell. Afterward, we each chose a favorite ghost story, to tell a little about among ourselves Thanks for a good, not evening. |

The ghost tour was extremely disappointing. Our first impression of our tour guide was way too laid back bordering on unprofessional. He seemed to be a very nice guy but did not speak loudly enough. Also his stories were not told in a clear or entertaining way. Finally, there were 2 to 3 other groups at each location we visited. It would seem that the different companies would communicate and cooperate in some way to stagger the beginning times so the groups were not on top of each other. I was very disappointed. |

Numerous discounts were available from Visitors Center and Hotel.
Tour guide was poor. Acted as if he wished he were not there. Never made eye contact and repeatedly stifled yawns.
We observed other tours that appeared to be having a much better experience. |

Unfortunately, a thunderstorm was passing through the first night we were scheduled. The tour was cancelled that night, but the guide nicely booked us for the next night.
Evidently, Charleston's ghosts were not ready to play that night either and sent another thunderstorm, thus cancelling that night. We asked for a refund. The tour, I'm sure, would have been interesting. The weather just didn't cooperate. |
