| I not only learned about some of the ghosts of Charleston; but I also learned about some of its history. The walking is done at a leisurely pace. My guide was very knowledgeable about Charleston and the surrounding area; very easy to talk to and to understand. The tour started on time and he made sure that we all got back to the park area safely; since it was getting dark. I am now going to get the book and read it. I would recommend this tour to everyone. |

| I've been traveling to Charleston my entire life and had never heard any of these stories before. I was glad to get a little variety, rather than the same old ghost stories that are known throughout the state. I did expect a little more hands-on tour, but the stories were fun and the guide was enthusiastic. While we saw a graveyard on our tour, I feel like there could be a separate tour for strictly graveyards around town. Overall, very interesting and something fun to do for the evening. |

| I attended a tour with this group 5 years ago and it was the best I had ever been on. Our guide went about is speeches so fast, you would have thought he had a hot date waiting. Taking us to the top of a parking deck and telling us a story NOT GOOD. Worse at the end of the tour you dumped us in the MIDDLE OF TOWN and then said GOOD LUCK finding you way back. By the way your tour information was too CURRENT. DO I have to buy another ticket to here the other half of the story!!!!!!!
STOP TRYING TO SELL THE BOOK AND TELL THE STORY WITHOUT HANDOUTS!! |

| I really enjoyed this tour. I wanted to get more history and to be able to hear about it in this manner, was excellent. In fact, the next day I went and bought the book. |

| This was an excellent tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the history of Charleston. He was personable and a great story teller. The stories that were told were very intriguing and left one’s mind to ponder. Charleston, being an old city, is full of ghost tales and the historical buildings make the tales that much more believable. I recommend that everyone try this tour. |

| Ian told his stories with enthusiasm, and we very much enjoyed the tour. Not really scary, but the history and info behind the stories makes these trips worth it for us. You don't read about the history in the normal channels. |

Disappointing - no atmosphere

| The guide told the stories in an as interesting way as possible, however, the walk was just a walk. Feel should have been taken into a cementery, and at least one building that was supposedly haunted -- the jail would have been an appropriate place to visit.
Certainly not worth the $20 cost for each participant . |

| On these tours, the guide that you get makes all the difference. Our guide's name was Ian, and not only was he very engaging, but he had a tremendous knowledge of the history of Charleston and how it related to the various "ghost stories" he told. Also, no cheesy attempts at "scaring" the people on the tour. He told his stories with flair and wit. Overall, it was a highly enjoyable experience. If you take this tour, hopefully you will get Ian! |

| We were very excited at the prospect of our tour, and horribly disappointed. Our tour guide seemed very disinterested in what she was doing. Other than the rehearsed stories at the few sites, she did not interact with the tour group at all, she even was texting on her cell phone as our group walked in silence from location to location. We were expecting someone who really knew a lot about Charleston and its past, but got someone who could only recite a few ghost stories, and without any real conviction. My boyfriend had been on a tour on a previous visit, and his tour guide was outstanding, and that was the experience we were expecting. Our tour guide couldn't even answer simple questions, and rather than discussing the history of locations, would explain them with sayings like "it was just like the movie the Pirates of the Carribbean." Hardly what we were paying $$ for. And the "climax" - the cemetery where the spectral photo was taken was another let down. We were on the night tour, and our guide admitted that her flashlight had been dead for "a few days", and she would show us photos from her book with the aid of the light from her cell phone and say "this would be so much better with a flashlight!"... uhm... we agreed. Very disorganized, not entertaining or educational, and a complete waste of time and money in a city that offers such a rich historical experience. |

| It was a waste of money. Most of the info was a repeat of what we heard on a horse and carriage ride |
