The guide we had was very informative, personable and really made the walk fascinating. The stops we made were just enough, the walk was enjoyable, and the stories were very interesting. We took the ghost tour on Halloween night, how great was THAT?!? I immediately recommended the tour the very next day to a local person working at Lowe's, who wanted to take his grownup son on the tour. I also told him how easy it was to get tickets online thanks to Zerve. If I ever get to Charleston again, I will definitely take the other tours this group provides! Thanks for a great time, even my somewhat skeptic friend who knows a lot about Charleston had a great time and learned a few things!

I could have stayed for 2 or 3 times longer than it lasted! I wanted more! The stories and places were great! I bought a book also! Thanks, Mary Steudtel

I took my sister on the ghosts of Charleston tour. It was alot of fun. Our tour guide was April and she was enthusiastic and very very friendly and sweet!! She was the best part of the tour. We took the latest tour so it was pretty late when we got done, I would recommend the 7:00 tour instead, it would still be dark but then you'd get out earlier. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Even for kids...it wasn't too scary for little kids!!

Interesting and informative but could be spookier.

We enjoyed the few ghost stories and the history which was pointed out but the walking part of the tour leaves something to be desired. It felt like we were walking aimlessly instead of walking a tour of a few spooky, haunted buildings/graveyards. That being said, it was certainly enjoyable.

My friend and I were in Charleston for 3 days for Blackbaud training, and wanted to go on some type of historical tour while we were there. Because we were in class until 5 pm every day, we missed the typical historical and carriage tours. We decided to try an evening Ghost Tour, and we were very happy with our decision. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and a good storyteller as well.

The tour guide was informative. The stories were told in a way that kept attention of us all, even our 10 year old son. Overall, the tour was a fun night out for our family. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

Market saturation

There were other tour groups (competetive companies) at each stop competing for the limited audio capacity of an outdoor environment in a busy tourist town. This significantly diminished the ambiance of the "ghost tour" experience. The tour guide for this particular tour was mediocre at best. She had limited storytelling ability and the group (19 people) was too large for her to connect with.

Out of the three Buxton walking tours, The Ghosts of Charleston Tour was the best! Our guide, Kyle, was absolutely wonderful, very knowledgable, and a hoot!!! My husband and I, along with our two four-legged children, Sam and Libby, thoroughly enjoyed each tour and Kyle's true sense of humor and dedication to his job! We would not hesitate to recommend or book another Buxton Tour with Kyle!!!

The basis of the tour is a good idea. We had a new tour guide who was not proficient at telling the stories in an interesting way. I was disappointed.
