| While the guide was enthusiastic and upbeat, the tour itself was very dry. There was a lot of history and we spent a great deal of time standing against a wall listening. The guide also ran late and left us three blocks from where we began. We were not taken to a "gift shop" as advertised. It seemed pointless, although the guide continually said this was the top rated tour in the area. I would recommend against taking this tour again. | ||||||

Ghosts of Charleston Review
|

| Mon, Jan 12 9:30 PM | kjmoore | Female | 30-39 | Combination | Group of Friends | |
| The ghost tour is based of the book, "Ghosts of Charleston." The book has been researched in depth, so the tour is not only about ghost stories, is gives a lot about Charleston history. The tour is not meant to scare you, it is meant to educate you. I definitely recommend that you take the tour in the dark, it adds atmosphere. The guide was very entertaining and it is obvious that he enjoys giving these tours. Our group had a very good time and we recommend this ghost tour to others. | ||||||

| We had an awesome time on our tour- Robert, our tour guide- was fantastic. He was knowledgeable about the local history and was a great story teller. We were especially happy that it wasn't "cheesy" at all...we would definitely do it again, and highly recommend it! Thanks! | ||||||

| This was our second walking ghost tour and all members of our party left a little disappointed (our first ghost tour in Savannah, GA was excellent). The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. However we all agreed that there was too much emphasis on Charleston's history and not enough ghost stories. In an hour and a half we only heard one ghost story, two stories explaining personal experiences and loads of history. We would not recommend this tour. | ||||||

Excellent!

| Our guide was a very good story teller who had ample knowledge of the city and stories surrounding it. Traveling to the graveyard and hearing a ghost story told by the person who experienced it was also very intense. | ||||||

Well worth the cost!

| My girlfriend and I went on the tour for New Year's Eve. We were incredibly lucky since everyone else was out partying, therefore we were the only two on the tour. I've always liked Charleston, however this tour opened up my mind to a totally different aspect of the city. Our guide, Ian Tucker, was very well versed in his job, plus he certainly knew how to make the tour feel energetic and individualized, instead of simply someone spouting off the same speech time and again. Stories ranging from converted customs houses and alleyways where the duels of the past were fought, to perhaps one of the oldest church graveyards in the United States. I also recommend that you keep your eyes open for the unexpected; while you may not see a real apparition, you most certainly will notice things are a bit strange on this tour. | ||||||

| If you want to try something that isn't like the typical tourist thing to do this is the event for you. I went with my girlfriend and another couple. Our tour guide Ian was great. He made the tour fun, knew what he was talkin about, and has great story telling ability. The stories are really interesting and creepy. It was a very fun experience. | ||||||

| I have been on ghost tours before in Charleston. This one was very neat as all the ghost stories where researched. However, it still would have been nice to hear all the other ghost stories even if they are proven or researched. | ||||||

It was great! The kids loved it!

| This was my 4th Ghosts of Charleston tour. The guides have always been really good. This time our tour guide (Ian) was great. He included historical as well as "ghostly" commentary. He was both entertaining and informative. I only wish the tour could have been longer. I have been on other ghost tours in the past, but none compare to yours. I recommend only the Ghost of Charleston tour (and book) to friends visiting Charleston. | ||||||

| Charleston ghost walking tour paled in comparison with similar tour in Savannah. Tour guide was very good story teller, however, stories were quite in depth. Our group frequently lost interest before story was finished. | ||||||

| Ian, our guide, did exceptionally well with setting the stage and atmosphere for the tour. Leading us expertly through the city to some of the more haunted areas, he regaled us with a great deal of the history in an entertaining and informative manner. For the price, I highly recommend the tour as both an educational and entertaining activity. | ||||||
