Market saturation

There were other tour groups (competetive companies) at each stop competing for the limited audio capacity of an outdoor environment in a busy tourist town. This significantly diminished the ambiance of the "ghost tour" experience. The tour guide for this particular tour was mediocre at best. She had limited storytelling ability and the group (19 people) was too large for her to connect with.

Walking Tours in Charleston, S.C.

Out of the three Buxton walking tours, The Ghosts of Charleston Tour was the best! Our guide, Kyle, was absolutely wonderful, very knowledgable, and a hoot!!! My husband and I, along with our two four-legged children, Sam and Libby, thoroughly enjoyed each tour and Kyle's true sense of humor and dedication to his job! We would not hesitate to recommend or book another Buxton Tour with Kyle!!!

The basis of the tour is a good idea. We had a new tour guide who was not proficient at telling the stories in an interesting way. I was disappointed.

A little disappointed

I was disappointed with the ghost tour. The guide seemed somewhat unprepared. It felt more like an historical walk and not nearly as informative as a carriage tour that we had taken earlier that day. For what it was, it was very expensive. The guide told one story that was not appropriate for the makeup of the group.

I enjoyed the walking tour. It was very interesting as i am a paranormal enthusiast. My husband and my self were the only two on this tour, so that made it even better. ( we took the 5pm tour). Wish it was longer. Make sure to wear good walking shoes and bring water if day is hot.

We enjoyed the tour. It wasn't very scary, but it was pretty informative (our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Charleston). We went at night, which I would recommend. If you want a general overview of the "haunting" of Charleston, this is an excellent place to begin. If you want to be freaked out a little more, you might want to try the "Ghosts of Charleston II" tour. This one was more family-friendly and enjoyable for anyone.

We really enjoyed the ghost tour. Spooky but not frightening. Our guide Kyle was a great storyteller.

Not bad, not great
Sun, Aug 20, 06   9:30 PM bbertoglio Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We enjoyed Charleston, and some of the stories were good. The tour guide should have been more dynamic and polished in his storytelling. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that we took the 9:30pm tour, but I thought it also would have been more interesting if we could actually see inside some of the places that we visited (e.g. the dungeon). Also, the fact that we apparently couldn't even visit the outside of many of the places because of residential zoning restrictions, took away a bit from the enjoyment of the stories. It would have been better if the tour was more focused on stories about places that are available to visit, or if some other technique was used to better put the stories into context. Overall, the tour was enjoyable, but not great. We had previously taken a walking ghost tour in London and it was far superior.

Informative but not scary
Tue, Aug 15, 06   7:30 PM wtl_65 Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
Was a good tour with lots of information but not scary and didn't seem to follow same guidelines set in advertisement through the company; was hoping it to be a little more aprehensive with the "GHOST" theory; also not as many stories told as was first thought from the add either. Overall ...good .......recommended for the family style so as not to scare children but not as 'spooky' as would have likened to hear and see.

Disappointed
Sat, Aug 12, 06   9:30 PM megoxford Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My husband and I were extremely disaapointed. We were highly anticipating this tour and could not wait to do the tour after reading a Southern Living review. Unfortunately, it did not live up to our expectations. A tour is only as good as your tour guide. We felt that it was boring and stale.
