The tour guide was good, but the brochure led me and my groupd to believe that we were going to go into some of these buildings. However, instead was received a tour of the outside of these premesis. |

I have been on other tours in Charleston that were much more informative - more stories I guess. I have also been on a ghost tour in Chicago that really put this tour at a lower level. I felt we spent more time walking than hearing good ghost stories. |

What a wonderful way to start our vacation:) At first I was worried about the size of the group however the company was well prepared and split the group with two tour guides. Our tour guide was excellent. He was very dynamic and knew Charleston; Ghosts, legends and good eats. Thank you for a very memorable experience:) |

Not enough ghost stories |

While our tour guide, Ian, was a walking encylopedia of knowledge about the founding of America, the Charleston area, and the history of the buildings in the town he was a bit brief on the ghost stories and knowledge. We were all expecting more in the way of scary stories, building access, and/or creepy situations. Unfortunately, we didn't get that. We all enjoyed Ian and he was a good storyteller. He just didn't tell us enough ghost stories. I am not sure what other options are avaialbe for ghost tours but we will recommend to our friends to shop around before booking this one. This was the first one that came up on my Google search and I didn't do my homework. I will take another ghost tour of Charleston but no the Buxton Tours one. |

This tour was horrible. It was led by the author of the book who must be really burnt out on this stuff. He mentioned parts of stories and left out important details that actually make them stories. No haunting details. Nothing to even make your spine tingle. I wanted to leave early to be able to get into a restaurant, but didn't want to be rude. The most interesting thing were the antics of another tour guest. |

The information was a little jumbled and yet covered the places we visited. It was very matter of fact and reflected the mentioned book. |
|
More random walking than an actual tour. |

Very few actual stories of interest. Lots of silent walking in between. Not a good tour for the money. |
|
Lots of ghost stories and theatrics! |

Only take this tour if you are very interested in theatrics and ghostly tales. Our guide sat us down for most of the journey to tell stories. His "authentic" tales were substantiated by "last week" accounts. (Please don't insult my intelligence with "just last week..." accounts!) I thought that this tour would include great historical information, mixed with Charleston's history of being one of the most haunted cities.
The internet also promised a signed copy of the book "The Ghosts of Charleston", which we did not see. My family and I were greatly disappointed. We would not recommend this tour, unless you just want to pay $20 for storytime! |
