Interesting, But Not What Was Expected.
Sat, Sep 20, 08   7:30 PM thompsonv Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Started out pretty good, but some of the group quickly lost interest. This didn't bother us since we thought the group was too large anyway. Guide was quite irrated when some of the group left and he made some inappropriate comments. There were children in our group. Enjoyed seeing the city at night and our guide pointed out some interesting symbols. Thought we'd visit Poogan's Porch since we were only about a block away, but we didn't. The time passed quickly and didn't realize our tour would end so abruptly. Not sure what happened there. Even though our group wasn't very interactive, we were listening carefully. We were not guided back to the Waterfront, but instead were just left at the church and given very vague directions on how to get back. Hopefully everyone got back safely.

Great entertainment - fun for everyone

I have taken this tour with many of my visitors - probably 8 - 10 times. Each tour is a little different, even with the same guide so it never gets boring. I have also taken ghost tours by other companies and by far prefer this tour. - - - next time I have visitors, I'll do it again.

Guide did not measure up to our expectations.

Your tour guide seemed much more interested in telling stories than delivering a tour presentation of value.

The Best Ghost Tour in Charleston Bar None
Sat, Sep 6, 08   9:30 PM mistert Male 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
I have been on another ghost tour with a different company on Market Street (which was boring and disappointing). This was my 3rd ghost tour with The Ghosts of Charleston, and I have never been disappointed either time. Every guide that I have had was very animated, enthusiastic, and interesting. I HIGHLY recommend this tour. I plan on doing another one next month with the same company, just a different tour. My fiance is not from Charleston, so she got to hear some of the history as well as stories of ghostly sightings.

Ghosts of Charleston Tour
Sat, Aug 16, 08   9:30 PM handolina Female 20-29 Local Family Without Children
The tour was very informative and our tour guide was very enthusiastic; you could tell that he really loved doing his job!! I would highly recommend the tour for anyone who would like some Charleston history along with the more sinister and macabe details!

Enjoyable!

We enjoyed the Ghost walk and it was a fun family activity. Ian, the tour guide was educational and entertaining. Would have liked to see a few more buildings. Our 10 year old was a little frightened at bedtime that night only. Would recommend. Reading the book prior to the tour was very helpful.

Interesting Facts
Sat, Aug 9, 08   9:30 PM Sherrie1 Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
The tour had some interesting facts that I didn't know about Charleston but the tour director could have been more interesting, too be frank he was boring!! Its a ghost tour, you expect someone who can tell a story and make you be a part of it.

The longest hour and half ever!
Sat, Aug 9, 08   9:30 PM Jnthompson21 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We were so excited about the tour. We had been another ghost tour in Charleston berfore and were anticipating how much fun the tour would be. Instead we were bored. Our tour guide was very boring and was very slow. We didn't even get to go every where that the tour promised. Two other families left during the tour, but we endured to the end.

Just OK
Sat, Aug 2, 08   9:30 PM scotsman71 Male 30-39 Local Family Without Children
We were expecting a bit more out of the Ghost Walk. I suppose some of it is the fact that we are locals and had heard about many of the stories but we never really got that creepy feeling about any of the stories except for the "Headless Torso". Neither my wife nor me had heard that one. It would have made more of an impact had we actually been at the Carrigae House when the story was told instead of in front of City Hall. i think our guides delievery was a bit off on most of the tales too. She came across as almost jokey. I am not sure if she was nervous or what.

We paid good money for a history lesson. Ghost tours are suppose to be interesting and at least go in where ghosts have been seen. All we did was walk around the buildings and listen to history lessons about the events that took place. Very disappointed.

Very nice but....
Tue, Jul 29, 08   9:30 PM dhagy30 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We went on the tour last Wednesday night July 30th, at 9pm. I am not sure of the gentleman's name however, he was very informative and told incredible stories!!! Only complaint I have and I am sure if you ask him, he may remember me, we went to the George Washington Memorial Park and because it was so dark and ample lighting was NOT provided, I fell off some steps and actually broke my ankle!!!! I think that when you do these tours you either suggest to the participants to bring their own flashlight or provide more lighting. Other than breaking my ankle, I had a wonderful time, unfortunately though I was not able to finish the tour and feel a little short changed. Thank you, Diana

Fantastic evening!
Tue, Jul 29, 08   9:30 PM AlysonGrace Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Our tour guide was very animated and extremely knowledgable. The group size was small enough that we could all hear him and it felt very personal. The history and stories were very well told and extremely informative. I would highly reccomend this tour!

Great tour! Guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable
Sat, Jul 26, 08   9:30 PM kshaul Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
This was a great tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and brought tons of historic facts to his stories that made them both really educational and really fun. He threw in little jokes and was very enthusiastic about the tour and the stories. The guide spoke loud enough, which I appreciated because too often the guides are too soft spoken for the size of the group they're leading. There were about 12 people on our tour. The tour lasted a little under 2 hours. The guide referred to the book for several pictures, making sure we all saw the photos. It was clear that he had an excitement and love of the city, and it was contagious! We all loved the tour - and would use them again if we came to Charleston again with different people.
