| I thought this tour did a great job at teaching you about the history and legends in Charleston. The guide was interesting and really knew a lot about the places we went. I also appreciate how the guide was willing to answer all our questions. I think this tour is a great addition to any Charleston trip. | ||||||

| The guide was prompt. He was knowledgable of facts pertaining to Charleston history and architecture, not simply local ghost lore. He was also enthusiastic and took the time to answer questions. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to experience an interesting evening strolling through the streets and alleys of waterfront Charleston. | ||||||

| The guide was a young man who skillfully narrated the stories. I felt that I could "see" the story he was relating. Especially true of the warehouse and I was MOST impressed with the onsight graveyard tale!! | ||||||

| This was a fun way to learn some of the history of the area and see some sights you wouldn't during the day on your own. the cemetary is worth it! | ||||||

| I guess you kind of figure with a name like "ghost" in the tour name, you'd get more than a child-like animated tour guide who sits you down to tell "campfire" stories. Only got to go into one cemetery and expected more of a "scary" tour versus our tour guide telling too many bad jokes, walking around in a circle, and only getting a brief stop someplace ACTUALLY scary. There were also too many different tours going on all around us, we saw three other groups on the same street at the same time. Could have been in a bar drinking! LOL | ||||||

| My husband and I traveled to Charleston as part of our honeymoon trip, and wanted a chance to learn more about the history of the city. The ghost tour seemed like a perfect choice. As it turned out, we booked for a Monday night and were the only two people on the tour, which was pretty cool. I regret that I didn't pay enough attention and forgot the tour guide's name, but he was phenomenal. We learned a LOT about Charleston, its history and the stories that color the city. The Unitarian cemetery was absolutely breathtaking. This tour is the only one in Charleston that will take you there at night, so I highly recommend it for that reason as well. My only regret is that I cannot remember the guide's name. We were lucky to have him! | ||||||

Excellent blend of history and hauntings

| Our guide was fabulous! So energetic and animated. He really brought the stories to life, putting them into the context of society and conditions of the time periods he covered. The way he shared fact and blended in legend was fun and informative - and his presentation was flawless. He took the time to be sure everyone understood and that any questions were answered thoroughly. We are local, but were entertaining tourists from Germany. The way our guide told the stories reinforced what they'd heard on other tours and really brought historic Charleston into focus for our guests. Thanks so much for an AWESOME tour! | ||||||

| This was our first Ghost tour with this company and I do not recommend them at all. Bulldog Tours was much better. Our guide was very informative but he over dramitized every single aspect of the story and needed to just get to the point. There were not many stops at supposedly haunted buildings or areas. He would go on and on and on and then repeat what he had just said on some occasions. He spent more time talking about his father being a professor and his rich friends. And how Bulldog Tours stole all of this companies ideas and crap. Our entire group was fed up with the tour an hour into it. We talked about this between ourselves as we walked. The tour ended up being almost 2 hours long because he wouldn't quit talking. We travel to Charleston at least twice per year and this was my girlfriend's and my sister's first tour. Needless to say I will not do another tour ever with this company. What a waste of good money. If I could get a refund you bet I would. | ||||||

too long

| I have gone on numerous ghost tours around the US. this one was not one of my favorites. The stories were too long and drawn out. of all the tour my favorite part was the cememtary. I would recommend lanterns to help see the ground. Walking on the cobblestone roads and uneven ground it would help to see the cracks and uneven spots. I would also recommend not having children on the tour. If you are going to continue the length of the stories and the grusome details the kids shouldn't be there. Our group was adults, however the family that joined us had a 10 yr old boy and he didn't handle it well, making it not as exciting as it could have been for us. | ||||||

| We booked this tour as something fun to do, and to help us explore the city. While the information presented was extensive, there was perhaps too much "lecturing " and not enough fun in the presentation. Our dissatisfaction lies largely with our guide, who was somewhat unprofessional and removed. He entered the meeting area smoking a cigarette, and did not look around or approach anyone waiting in the area. When we approached him, we were asked if we were with the group, and he then suggested we "sit down and take a load off" as we were waiting for others and had a lot of walking ahead of us. His questions to the group members regarding where they were from, etc. were cursory at best. The general feeling of the evening was that he had to do this, and then was on to better activities. His presentation was fair, but again, he never really engaged the group. We were disappointed enough to leave the tour before the end. | ||||||

| We enjoyed our tour and tour guide he was very nice and told us fun facts about the city. However, we would have liked to have been inside of the buildings where ghosts had been sighted. This would have been more realistic rather than standing outside. Would have liked more ghost stories on the walk. | ||||||
