Interesting and Enjoyable

The guide was prompt. He was knowledgable of facts pertaining to Charleston history and architecture, not simply local ghost lore. He was also enthusiastic and took the time to answer questions. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to experience an interesting evening strolling through the streets and alleys of waterfront Charleston.

The guide was a young man who skillfully narrated the stories. I felt that I could "see" the story he was relating. Especially true of the warehouse and I was MOST impressed with the onsight graveyard tale!!

This was a fun way to learn some of the history of the area and see some sights you wouldn't during the day on your own. the cemetary is worth it!

Not as advertised...

I guess you kind of figure with a name like "ghost" in the tour name, you'd get more than a child-like animated tour guide who sits you down to tell "campfire" stories. Only got to go into one cemetery and expected more of a "scary" tour versus our tour guide telling too many bad jokes, walking around in a circle, and only getting a brief stop someplace ACTUALLY scary. There were also too many different tours going on all around us, we saw three other groups on the same street at the same time. Could have been in a bar drinking! LOL

Awesome Tour Guide

My husband and I traveled to Charleston as part of our honeymoon trip, and wanted a chance to learn more about the history of the city. The ghost tour seemed like a perfect choice. As it turned out, we booked for a Monday night and were the only two people on the tour, which was pretty cool. I regret that I didn't pay enough attention and forgot the tour guide's name, but he was phenomenal. We learned a LOT about Charleston, its history and the stories that color the city. The Unitarian cemetery was absolutely breathtaking. This tour is the only one in Charleston that will take you there at night, so I highly recommend it for that reason as well. My only regret is that I cannot remember the guide's name. We were lucky to have him!

Excellent blend of history and hauntings

Our guide was fabulous! So energetic and animated. He really brought the stories to life, putting them into the context of society and conditions of the time periods he covered. The way he shared fact and blended in legend was fun and informative - and his presentation was flawless. He took the time to be sure everyone understood and that any questions were answered thoroughly. We are local, but were entertaining tourists from Germany. The way our guide told the stories reinforced what they'd heard on other tours and really brought historic Charleston into focus for our guests. Thanks so much for an AWESOME tour!

Too long and boring !!!!!

This was our first Ghost tour with this company and I do not recommend them at all. Bulldog Tours was much better. Our guide was very informative but he over dramitized every single aspect of the story and needed to just get to the point. There were not many stops at supposedly haunted buildings or areas. He would go on and on and on and then repeat what he had just said on some occasions. He spent more time talking about his father being a professor and his rich friends. And how Bulldog Tours stole all of this companies ideas and crap. Our entire group was fed up with the tour an hour into it. We talked about this between ourselves as we walked. The tour ended up being almost 2 hours long because he wouldn't quit talking. We travel to Charleston at least twice per year and this was my girlfriend's and my sister's first tour. Needless to say I will not do another tour ever with this company. What a waste of good money. If I could get a refund you bet I would.
