Excellent The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |

| This was an excellent tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the history of Charleston. He was personable and a great story teller. The stories that were told were very intriguing and left one’s mind to ponder. Charleston, being an old city, is full of ghost tales and the historical buildings make the tales that much more believable. I recommend that everyone try this tour. | ||||||

Good Fun Stories The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |

| Ian told his stories with enthusiasm, and we very much enjoyed the tour. Not really scary, but the history and info behind the stories makes these trips worth it for us. You don't read about the history in the normal channels. | ||||||

Disappointing - no atmosphere The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |
|||||
| Fri, Apr 18 9:30 PM | pattynoll | Female | 60-69 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Group of Friends | |
| The guide told the stories in an as interesting way as possible, however, the walk was just a walk. Feel should have been taken into a cementery, and at least one building that was supposedly haunted -- the jail would have been an appropriate place to visit. Certainly not worth the $20 cost for each participant . | ||||||

Wonderful Tour!!! The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |

| On these tours, the guide that you get makes all the difference. Our guide's name was Ian, and not only was he very engaging, but he had a tremendous knowledge of the history of Charleston and how it related to the various "ghost stories" he told. Also, no cheesy attempts at "scaring" the people on the tour. He told his stories with flair and wit. Overall, it was a highly enjoyable experience. If you take this tour, hopefully you will get Ian! | ||||||

Total Waste of Time and Money The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |
|||||
| Sun, Apr 13 9:30 PM | jperry | Female | 20-29 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Couple on a Date | |
| We were very excited at the prospect of our tour, and horribly disappointed. Our tour guide seemed very disinterested in what she was doing. Other than the rehearsed stories at the few sites, she did not interact with the tour group at all, she even was texting on her cell phone as our group walked in silence from location to location. We were expecting someone who really knew a lot about Charleston and its past, but got someone who could only recite a few ghost stories, and without any real conviction. My boyfriend had been on a tour on a previous visit, and his tour guide was outstanding, and that was the experience we were expecting. Our tour guide couldn't even answer simple questions, and rather than discussing the history of locations, would explain them with sayings like "it was just like the movie the Pirates of the Carribbean." Hardly what we were paying $$ for. And the "climax" - the cemetery where the spectral photo was taken was another let down. We were on the night tour, and our guide admitted that her flashlight had been dead for "a few days", and she would show us photos from her book with the aid of the light from her cell phone and say "this would be so much better with a flashlight!"... uhm... we agreed. Very disorganized, not entertaining or educational, and a complete waste of time and money in a city that offers such a rich historical experience. | ||||||

Was a waste of money The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |
|||||
| Sat, Apr 12 9:30 PM | rlblanton | Male | 30-39 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Family Without Children | |
| It was a waste of money. Most of the info was a repeat of what we heard on a horse and carriage ride | ||||||

A little boring, not scary at all The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |
|||||
| Wed, Apr 9 9:30 PM | rpearce | Female | 40-49 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Family With Children | |
| This was an extremely informative tour. The guide knew an enormous amount about the history of Charleston. However, it got a little wordy and my group's attention began to wander. It was advertised as a ghost tour, but honestly, it wasn't scary at all and only a few ghosts were even mentioned. We would have preferred less history and more ghosts. On a more positive note, our guide took good care of the tour members. He was careful to find spots for us to sit, and evened shortened the route for an older person who was having some trouble walking on the cobblestones. | ||||||

| My wife and I participated in a tour on March 31, 2008 and found the tour to be very enjoyable. Our guide, Ian, was very well prepared, provided a wealth of interesting information about the ghosts of Charleston, and was one of the most informed people we found. Although there were a number of tours available, we are glad we selected this one. | ||||||

FUN The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |
|||||
| Tue, Mar 25 7:30 PM | carolhdavis | Female | 40-49 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Family With Children | |
| My 9 year old twins enjoyed the tour very much. It wasn't too scary for them but kept their interest. My son could pretty much recite the tour guide's stories word for word after the tour so he had listened very intently. Overall you get the feeling these are canned stories memorized from a book. But it's still fun to walk around the beautiful city and learn a little history. | ||||||

Very Interesting The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park |
|||||
| Sat, Mar 15 5:00 PM | Castiglia06 | Female | 20-29 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Family Without Children | |
| This tour was overall very nice. We had 5 in our group with ages ranging from 18-52. It talked about alot of the history of Charleston with ghost stories trickling in here and there. We thought it was going to be all about ghosts but it was not. Even though it was not exactly what we were thinking it turned out to be good. | ||||||

| Our guide , Ian(sp), was very knowledgible and had a good command of the subject matter. I was kind of disappointed that it was just myself and my wife. A larger group would have made it more interesting. | ||||||
