I have taken a ghost tour in two other towns and they were fun, exciting and kind of scary. Maybe it was just the guide we had for this one, but he only told 4 ghost stories, from a historical point of view and the rest of the time he told us history and architecture. Yeah yeah, all that was great, but we got that on the carriage tour we took earlier. We wanted ghost stories! Charleston is one of the most haunted places in America and he wanted to tell us about the great earthquake and how you can tell how old the buildings are. BORING. The tour started at 9:30 and was suppose to end at 11:00. At 11:45 we slipped away from the crowd and headed to our car. Our feet were killing us, the mosquitoes were feeding on us, and I just couldn’t take any more about the construction of Charleston. I honestly want my money back. So save yours, take the carriage tour during the day and find a real ghost story company for night. Good luck! |

The tour leader was a college student who was very enthusiastic about her job. She had some good stories to tell. Even though I am a sceptic, I enjoyed the walk through old Charleston and enjoyed the stories. |

Ben was fantastic! |

We were on a trip encompassing Savannah, Charleston and the Great Smokey Mountains. We took ghost tours at each location (basically for the history lesson and not really for the ghost aspect) and the Charleston tour was the best, by far. Ben was our tourguide. He is an amazing story-teller and a great host. He was historically accurate, as well as, interesting and funny. |

Great time! |

We had so much fun on this tour. It was by far our favorite activity from our vacation. The tour guide was great. We went back and did another tour we had so much fun. It's a must! |

Our tour guide, Ben, was enthuiastically engaging and painted a good picture of the early days of Charleston. Their tales add an essential piece to the cultural story of the town and can be backed up by historical record. This tour group is great and I highly recommend it. |

Our tour guide (Ben) was very enthusiastic and a great speaker. In addition to the Ghost stories, he gave us a lot of very interesting facts about history in Charleston. |

I was very impressed with the tour. The stories about the ghosts of Charleston was backed up with research done by authors of the book. Amanda was our tour guide and was excellent. She made the stories come to life and hold my attention. Everyone in the group loved it. |

Fun with some good historical bits |

My wife and I enjoyed this tour. I've only been on one other walking tour like this and it was one of the Vampire tours in New Orleans. I thought, Amanda, our tour guide was great and did a good job delivering the spooky stories while we got to walk around downtown Charleston. I was more interested in the history and she managed to throw in some interesting stuff there too. We had a really good time overall and even left with some tips on other places to eat and visit while we stayed in Charleston. |

My husband and I, locals, took a couple of visiting friends. They thought the history was the most interesting part. The ghost stories (~5 depending on who you ask) were G-rated (a good thing for us) but not quite what we had hoped for. They told us another company has bought all the rights to enter cemetaries, so this tour didn't. We didn't enter any structure where a Charleston ghost was ever spotted. We did look over one cemetary fence for a story.
Over all, the tourguide gets good marks for enthusiasm and voice, the story lines were average and the path was average. |
