| My husband and I enjoyed it thoroughly..the guide was a fantastic storyteller, enthusiastic and dynamic. There were great ,spooky , believable ghost stories and also some town history pointed out along the way. We took the 930 pm tour, which I would highly recommend, especially when hearing ghost stories outside the cemetery! |

| Some interesting stories, but always told from the outside (i.e. for some reason we were always standing outside of graveyards listening to stories as we watched people on other, presumably better, tours walking through the graveyards). Somehow, standing near an allegedly spooky place (or not even anywhere near it, in a few cases) while listening to a story of something that happened there doesn't really get the job done. This tour could have been accomplished as story time in a library with far less effort required, and without losing much in the way of experience or content. I strongly recommend choosing another tour. So did my hotel's concierge, and I wish I would have listened to her. |

Informative, but not all that scary

| Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and energetic, so he made the tour entertaining. But I would have liked to be able to go into more buildings and graveyards to make it more real. I was expecting to be spooked, but it was really just a regular historical tour with a few scary stories.
We had a group of 9, and no one was that impressed, especially for the high cost of the tour. I wouldn't recommend people take the tour unless they got a discount or had a really good coupon to make the cost less. It might be worth it for $10 a person, not $18! |

| We have taken other ghost tours. They were fine, but nothing like this one. We were pleasantly surprised. BEN was simply fabulous. He was informative, energetic, welcoming, personable and made the even simply fun. I cannot say enough about this company and their tour. I hope all of the other tour guides are as good as Ben. Thanks,, Ben. We will come back soon! |

| My whole family enjoyed the tour very much, found it very interesting and somewhat eerie, especially the people buried alive. We hope to return to Charleston as it takes more than one trip there to see and do all that is offered. Our tour guide, Jake ( I'm the Penn Stater if you remember, Jake) , was very entertaining and did a super job. |

| My 13 year old daughter was visiting me from Houston, and I live in Mt. Pleasant. We were not sure at first where to go, but Amanda had called my cell and we met up with her and our small group.
She was extremely amiable and was trying to communicate with everyone in between our stops.
Amanda was great. |

| It was an enjoyable walk and a beautiful evening, but it seemed a bit contrived and forced. Guide was not a particularly good storyteller. |

| I have taken this very same tour from the same company before. The guide makes the difference. The guide this time tried too hard to act scary, and left out MANY details of certain stories that I was given on the last tour. It's a great tour, just too bad this guide didn't do it justice. |

| The tour guide was entertaining and informative. We did learn some things about Charleston that we did not know. Not only ghost facts but historical facts. |

| it was not very interesting...I was expecting more. The tour guide was not charismatic either..The children and adults in our group were bored.Surely not worth the money we paid. |
