| I forget the name of our tour guide but he was fantastic. I don't recommend the show
to be shown to small kids though (perhaps over 12 OK), since some of the stories were too gory.
Definitely take out the part at the end inside the auditorium where a seat is signaled (as someone sits on that seat) as the seat where gory murders took place.
But definetly our tour guide delivered a very animated full of drama and screams....he was funny and still believable.
Thank you! |

| My husband and I were sorely disappointed in the advertisement and end result of this tour. We "thought" going by the brochure that we were going on a guided "ghost" tour not a history tour. We heard the same stories from this guide that we heard on the Tour of Charleston. Therefore, we paid for the same tour twice. We had seen a ghost tour from Chatleston on The Travel Channel and saw more on it than on the tour. We would not reccommend this tour if you want the "feel" of ghosts and mystery. However, if you only want the history of some of the ghosts and legends and wish to walk at night (in the lighted streets) then this is the one for you! We will say our tour guide was extremely knowledegable about his subject matter and more than willing to answer questions, etc. This tour would also be child friendly. |

| We really enjoyed the tour! It was fun to hear more of the history of Charleston, with a kick of spook! |

I wouldn't have been scared if I was in 1st grade!

| Can I just say how ridiculously juvenile this tour was?! I took my parents on a few tours while they were in town for their first time on Memorial Day weekend. This ghost tour was the one thing that we were looking forward to the most! Well, it was an absolute joke! I could have told better ghost stories than our tour guide told! He didn't really seem to know too much about the details and background of the ghost stories. It was a tour for 3rd graders...if not younger! We were in a group of 10, all of whom were in their mid-20's and older. At the end of the tour we all just stood around and complained about how horrible it was. Hey, at least we all became friends by making fun of the waste of money the tour was!
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TOUR FOR ANYONE OVER THE AGE OF 10! |

| I thought the tour was good, although it would have been nice to know that commercial tours aren't allowed in residential areas - which is quite a bit of the historic district - after 5pm. Our guide was very personable and easy to follow, but his voice didn't carry over the city noises very well. |

| Get out and be with people. Great tourguide. Nice loud , deep clear voice. Corny in an endearing way. Quite a charmer with lots of passion for his town and making sure everyone enjoyed.

| we had a hard time hearing the person talking.The history was interesting but they could have done a better job telling the stories.It also would have been fun if we could have gone in some of the places where the stories took place.It was not worth the money. |

| I would not recommend this tour. We were very excited for it and it was NOT good. The tour guide was not an effective speaker. He had his facts down but his delivery fell short -- he paced back and forth, he was long-winded, he built NO suspense. I wanted to be scared a bit and instead we were BORED. I'd actually like my money back. It was bad. The tour guide was a nice guy - I actually kind of felt sorry for him because you can tell he was trying, he just wasn't gifted in this area.
