| I did not like the tour guide, who spent more time telling random facts rather than ghost stories. On our 80 minute tour, only 3 ghost stories were told, and we were taken on random routes throughout the city. I have been on several ghost tours in various cities throughout the US, and this was by far the worst ghost story. Normally after a tour, I feel that I have learned a lot of history about the city. After this tour, I did not get this feeling. Our tour guide spent the last 30-40 minutes telling us his own personal story, and it was so strange and not at all in keeping with the description of the tour. I was very unsatisfied by this tour, and would recommend any other Charleston ghost tour over this comapny's. |

| It's a great family activity, but if you're REALLY into ghosts and want something a little more in depth and hands on, this probably isn't the tour for you.
It's great for an overall history and walkabout and especially for families with kids. |

| I had high expectations about the tour, so I thought I would fell let down. That was not the case. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and told good stories, both ghost and historical fact and trivia. The only negative comments I have is that we left at least fifteen minutes late and fifteen or more minutes was spent with the history of the settlement of Charleston. I would have rather had fifteen extra minutes walking around and having an extra story or two told. |

| 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. |

| The web site made it look as if this were the best tour in Charleston, and that spaces were so limited you'd need to purchase tickets far in advance in order to get in on this tour. My family has gone on ghost tours all over the south, and this one was the worst by far. We were the only people in our group, our tour guide was less than enthusiastic, and the stories weren't so great, either. They could have been made better if the guide had felt more like putting effort into it. I suspect that the small group (of four) was disappointing to him as well. Never again. |

| Some interesting stories, but always told from the outside (i.e. for some reason we were always standing outside of graveyards listening to stories as we watched people on other, presumably better, tours walking through the graveyards). Somehow, standing near an allegedly spooky place (or not even anywhere near it, in a few cases) while listening to a story of something that happened there doesn't really get the job done. This tour could have been accomplished as story time in a library with far less effort required, and without losing much in the way of experience or content. I strongly recommend choosing another tour. So did my hotel's concierge, and I wish I would have listened to her. |

| this tour was a waste of money. all we did was walk around for a little more than an hour and listen to a guy tell boring stories about 4 buildings. we expected a tour where we go inside some places and hear stories directly and enthusiastically. we didn't even go into public places!!
BOTTOM LINE-i know the man did all he could but this tour was a complete waste of money! save your money and BUY THE BOOK FOR 20$ instead-it is more exiting than the tour. |
