Spooky
Sat, Mar 13  9:30 PM CristieS Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
This was my first ghost tour. I choose this based on reviews of other ghost tours, and this one seemed to have the best reviews. The tour guide was very knowledgable about Charleston and very enthusiastic. But sometimes his enthusiasim caused him to speak a little too fast, which caused you to really have to listen intently to get the story. Visited four sites, saving the best for last in the cemetary. I paln to read the book now!

The tour started as scheduled with a very enthusiastic tour guide. He was very knowledgable about the history of Charleston and it's ghost tales. The walk was not physically difficult and lasted about 1.5 hrs. Overall, it was not scary. There were a couple of times it was spooky, but mostly because of being in a cemetery at night.

A Bit Disappointing
Fri, Mar 12  5:00 PM Jacobsmom98 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
I felt that the Ghost Tour was too focused on a theatrical performance than on actually teaching us about the history of Charleston and its ghosts. During the 90 minute tour we were only told about 4 differerent "ghosts stories" in WAY too much detail. I would have much preferred to have heard these ghost stories (in a much shortened version) and then ALSO have been given some information on the history of Charleston. More of an explanation as to the buildings we were walking past, etc.. There was a History of Charleston Tour that i would have preferred to take, but it was not offered during the time we were visiting. The tour guide was very nice, but just too "over- the- top" for my taste.

ok but not great - interesting stories
Mon, Mar 8  9:30 PM triciacarlso Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
It was a chilly night. We sat too long looking at the trading company building listening to a drawn out story of Huguenot. The stories were interesting but could have been alittle shorter and included more places. We went to 2 graveyards. I was disappointed the tour did not included houses. The tour was to last 90 minutes and lasted 120. Not sure it was worth $57 for the 3 of us. I would spend money on the historic houses on my next visit.

We had a great time.

The tour guide was very enthusiastic and entertaining. It was a nice perk to be able to go in to the cemetary. We were on a ghost tour our last visit and it was mainly history and we didn't get to go in to the cemetary. This tour had a nice balance of history and spooky stories. I would recommend it to people.

leader talked too much
Sat, Jan 2  5:00 PM Monopoly Female 20-29 Local Group of Friends
The leader talked too much, Especially on the first ghost story. It literally lasted 30 minutes. As a result, we didn't have time to talk about many other ghost stories. Many of the stories I was excited about and consider a "must" were not covered. By the time the tour was over, we had listened to 3 to 5 ghost stories. The guide was very intellectual and mentioned some other interesting history, but that was not what we were there for. Overall, I was disappointed. I have gone on a tour with another company and would recommend them, but not this company.

The Ghost tour was very informative from a historical perspective along with entertaining. Our guide Ian was very knowledgeable and keep the group involved and interested. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Charleston and would especially make note of seeing if Ian was available as a guide
