| My family and I were amazed at the beauty and history of the downtown area. Then to blend that with the ghost stories left us with chills. We will definitely be doing this tour again. If you are considering this tour, be prepared to cover alot of the old downtown streets(wear the right shoes). Absolutely worth your time! |

| Our tour guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We enjoyed the walk and the information we learned. One recommendation would be to provide your guides with microphones. When there are several groups at the same site, sometimes it is difficult to hear your guide above the others. |

| During our first visit to the area, we decided to take the Ghost tour on a sunday evening. A full moon lit our way through the city and our tour guide , Ben, was superb! We came back to Charleston the next day to visit several of the places on the tour and to enjoy lunch at Magnolia's. We fully intend to visit your city again, largely due to the enjoyable tour we had on a warm Charleston Sunday evening with a talented guide and entertainer!!! Keep up the terrific work! |

| Loved the book. The guide was nice but not a GREAT story teller so that was a little disappointing. |

| This is an enjoyable tour that allows you to see Charleston in a different light: an evening view with a touch of mystery and romance! Thanks, Julian, for an enchanting evening . . . |

| This was my very first ghost tour, but my daughter has been on quite a few in different places. We both felt that this was a very interesting and exciting ghost walk to go on in Charleston. Our tour guide, Ben, was quite good at story telling and provided lots of details and enthusiasm. He held everyone's attention throughout the entire walk. I would highly recommend this ghost walk to visitors in Charleston...and I would definitely go on another one in the future. The price was very competitive, also. |

| I fully understand that the focus of such a tour is entertainment. However, try as hard as he did...Ben, simply over acted the part. It was really more a gore tour...than a ghost tour. More of the city ghost history and less of the ghoulish stories of fingers falling off would have made it a better experience. I think people wanted to believe they could see a ghost on the walk itself....not just stories of death in over acted detail.
The other issue was with the facts, as presented, many of the facts were simply lies. The seats in the theater are not from the early 1800's. These stories were obviously designed to enhance the experience, but in fact they insult the listener by asking him/her to believe something that's obviously not true.
Overall I Ben did a really enthusiastic job....and he clearly loves what he does....but his tour should be a bit more about ghost sightings...and a bit less about ghost stories.
I can't say I would go again....we've been to many around the country and yours isn't in the top 10, but with Charleston to work with, and some focus, it could be. |
