| I really wanted to go on a Ghost Tour while on vacation in Charleston - but there are at least fifty different ones to choose from. I decided to take the "Ghosts of Charleston" Tour because I was familiar with the book, and thought that would make it a little more legit. Our guide for the night was Ian, and he did an AWESOME job of presenting the stories as well as being able to work in the history of the city and a few other interesting tidbits. He also had an unlimited supply of cheesy jokes and puns that added levity at appropriate times. I knew a lot of the stories already since I had lived in Charleston previously, but he did such a good job of engaging the group that it was as if I were hearing them again for the first time. We went to about five or six locations, which felt about right, and the tour lasted about two hours. I have been on numerous ghost tours before in various cities (Chicago, Edinburgh, etc.), but this was one of the most enjoyable tours I have been on. There were no gadgets or lanterns or costumes, just a guide telling very eerie and exciting stories of Charleston's past. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a spooky evening. It just goes to show that as long as you have a guide who is engaging and can spin a good tale, that you don't need any of the bells and whistles. | ||||||

| I have been on several ghost tours in different cities. I learned a lot about the history of Charelston, but I feel like we didn't get to see many places. The guide was very knowledgable, however, he kept showing us pictures in a book instead of showing the actual site. Also, we were heckled by several locals, it was quite funny, but be aware it will happen. | ||||||

A fun, spooky look at Charleston at night.

| We took the 9:30pm tour so darkness only added to the experience. The stories told by our guide were a lot of fun but also very informative about the history of Charleston and some of the residents. Our children are 10 and 13 so they fully enjoyed both the stories and the walk through the streets of the city. Our 10 year old didn't seem too worried during the tour but he did have a restless night thinking about all of those ghosts wandering around. We really enjoyed the evening and would recommend it to those looking for something a bit out of the ordinary on their Charleston visit. It won't scare you to death, but you will enjoy hearing about the spooky legends of this special city. | ||||||

| My husband and I were in town for a business meeting, and a group of employees decided to take the tour. We met infront of the fountain and were divided into 2 separte groups. My husband and I were the only ones to be in a different group. It was a nice night out, and the lady who did our tour was a very good story teller. She new a lot about the area other than just the ghost stories and even provided us with quick versions of other stories we heard as we were passing other groups. I only had 2 disappointments with tour. I thought that we would have been a little more involved with the actual place. It really took away for the whole thing by looking at it from such a far distance and trying to figure out if you were looking at the correct thing. My other issue was that we were not taken back to the same location we started at. We are from Houston, TX and have never traveled there before. Our tour ended with us in the middle of downtown, and we told that she would give us directions to any where we wanted to go. It maybe out of the way for the tour guide, but I strongly feel we should have been taken back to the starting locations. We had arrived that day and had been in meetings all day. We did not have any time to explore the city yet. We had no idea where we were and we told some directions, and were left to find our way back. Then our group ended about 20 minutes before the other group ended and then we had to wait for them to walk (they were just given directions also). Overall it was a nice tour. I enjoyed the stories, and would recommened it and a map. | ||||||

| If you have never been on a ghost tour, this is a fun thing to do. However, we have been on a few of them in other cities. St. Augustine Florida has the best tour we have been to. On this one the stories were long, and there were not enough stops. | ||||||

So Boring...

| We participated in the tour a few weeks ago with friends from out of town and their children. Our guide was an older gentleman with gray hair and a beard. While our guide was personable and probably a history buff, the entertainment factor was certainly missing. He told us flat, boring ghost stories about places we were near - not places we could actually go inside or see in any matter at all. The stories weren't scary and it seemed like we were grasping at straws just to keep our eyes open. This wasn't the case just in our group, but it was evident on the faces of others in our tour. The vibe was like, "We paid $18 for this?" I don't blame the bore-fest soley on our guide. He clearly didn't have much suitable content to work with and was grasping at straws himself just to get through it. | ||||||

| I HAVE TAKEN A SIMILAR TOUR IN BALTIMORE THAT WAS BETTER. THE TOUR DID NOT HAVE THE TON OF PUNS/JOKES LIKE THE CHARLESTON TOUR. THE BALTIMORE TOUR HAD MORE TALES THAN THE CHARLESTON TOUR; THE CHARLESTON TOUR HAD ONLY ABOUT THREE STRONG TALES. JMR | ||||||

| This is the 2nd time I have taken a ghost walk with visiting family from this company. The first time was great, this time was not so good. The difference is probably the luck of the draw on what tour guide is assigned. | ||||||

| It was a good tour for all ages. It gives a personal touch to the buildings of Charleston. I personally would have liked to go into a building or graveyard to get a spooky feeling but our 6 year old may not have been okay with that. He was bored with the stories so I recommend age 10 and up. There are brick and cobblestone streets so you have to watch your step and wear comfortable shoes. There was a family that had 2 children in strollers and they had a tough time on those streets. So to sum up: small children will not be scared but may be bored, wear comfortable shoes, strollers are in for a bumpy ride, and enjoy the interesting ghost tales. | ||||||
