| We enjoyed the few ghost stories and the history which was pointed out but the walking part of the tour leaves something to be desired. It felt like we were walking aimlessly instead of walking a tour of a few spooky, haunted buildings/graveyards.
That being said, it was certainly enjoyable.

Highly recommended!

| My friend and I were in Charleston for 3 days for Blackbaud training, and wanted to go on some type of historical tour while we were there. Because we were in class until 5 pm every day, we missed the typical historical and carriage tours. We decided to try an evening Ghost Tour, and we were very happy with our decision. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and a good storyteller as well. |

| The tour guide was informative. The stories were told in a way that kept attention of us all, even our 10 year old son.
Overall, the tour was a fun night out for our family. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. |

| There were other tour groups (competetive companies) at each stop competing for the limited audio capacity of an outdoor environment in a busy tourist town. This significantly diminished the ambiance of the "ghost tour" experience.
The tour guide for this particular tour was mediocre at best. She had limited storytelling ability and the group (19 people) was too large for her to connect with. |

| Out of the three Buxton walking tours, The Ghosts of Charleston Tour was the best! Our guide, Kyle, was absolutely wonderful, very knowledgable, and a hoot!!! My husband and I, along with our two four-legged children, Sam and Libby, thoroughly enjoyed each tour and Kyle's true sense of humor and dedication to his job! We would not hesitate to recommend or book another Buxton Tour with Kyle!!! |

Could be so much more

| The basis of the tour is a good idea. We had a new tour guide who was not proficient at telling the stories in an interesting way. I was disappointed. |

| I was disappointed with the ghost tour. The guide seemed somewhat unprepared. It felt more like an historical walk and not nearly as informative as a carriage tour that we had taken earlier that day. For what it was, it was very expensive. The guide told one story that was not appropriate for the makeup of the group. |

| I enjoyed the walking tour. It was very interesting as i am a paranormal enthusiast. My husband and my self were the only two on this tour, so that made it even better. ( we took the 5pm tour). Wish it was longer. Make sure to wear good walking shoes and bring water if day is hot. |

| We enjoyed the tour. It wasn't very scary, but it was pretty informative (our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Charleston). We went at night, which I would recommend. If you want a general overview of the "haunting" of Charleston, this is an excellent place to begin. If you want to be freaked out a little more, you might want to try the "Ghosts of Charleston II" tour. This one was more family-friendly and enjoyable for anyone. |
