Great tour for families

| We took this tour with our children ages 5 & 8. Our guide told lots of great stories that were appropriate for all ages yet "scary" enough to get the feel of a ghost tour. Arrival at the cemetary just at dusk made for great effects and wonderful pictures! (we took the 7:30 tour) We'd definitely recommend this tour to other families. | ||||||

| My husband and I took the tour with our eight year old son. I felt it was a waste of money. I had visited Charleston a number of times before but it was a first for my husband and son. The guide was not very friendly and obviously not a people person or had been doing this tour WAY too long. He seemed bored. His effort to entertain and inform us fell flat. I would NOT recommend this tour. He might have been knowledgeable but I didn't hear it. I knew more information than he gave. He didn't seem to care about his "paying customers". We had an over weight couple who had a hard time keeping up with the pace he set but he wouldn't slow up for them. My suggestion to the company would be to retire him! and hire an enthusiastic college student. | ||||||

| Our party was assigned to an alternate tour guide since the group was so large... The woman who was our guide did not hold our interest, and we actually cut out before the tour was over. I would say that my impression might have been different if we had been in the group with the other guide. | ||||||

| Your ghost tour can be any number of tours and as good as your guide decides to be. Don't judge one tour by one guide or one review, each are unique to the individuals, the actual stops, and your guide. | ||||||

NOT A GHOST TOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|

| Thu, Jul 23, 09 7:30 PM | yoopergirl | Female | 30-39 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Family With Children | |
| Don't get me wrong, it was a VERY informative tour. Only problem we have with the tour was that it was NOT a ghost tour!!! The tour last for 1 1/2 hours. We heard a total of 4, count them, 4 ghost stories!!!!!! Most of the tour was information about the city. My family and I have been traveling to Charleston for the past 30 years. We have gone on historical tours of the city before and this time we wanted a GHOST tour. We weren't very satisfied to have yet another history tour!!! Our tour guide knew alot about the city. He was a very good tour guide for a historical tour, the only problem we had with him, other than no ghost stories, as a guide was that he was constantly criticizing other tour companies. We did not think that was very professional. I had a friend and her husband, who are locals, also join us on the tour. They had never been on a ghost tour before. They were not happy with the amount of "ghost" stories that they heard either. My sister used to live in Charleston. She had taken a tour before with another tour company and had heard alot of interesting stories. Next year when we go, we will be taking another ghost tour with a competitive company!!! Our guide kept talking about the other tour companies using "their book". If there were so many ghost stories in the "book", why did we not hear about them????!!!!!! | ||||||

| We thought we'd get a witty, fun tour of Charleston. What we got was walking around alleys, and some ok stories, told with little enthusiasm. The one graveyard we went to was neat, but it was so dark, you really couldn't appreciate it. The guide knew his stuff, but was uninteresting. People freaking out about the Palmetto bugs was more fun than the tour. | ||||||

Great Fun and Hair Raising

| This tour was OK, but did not keep my attention. Guide talked more about history than ghost stories. Also repeated himself quite a bit. There were not that many locations we walked to,so it wasn't fast paced enough. The graveyard was great atmosphere, though. But, for the price, it didn't meet my expectations. | ||||||

| I recently took the 9:30 PM tour with friends while in Charleston on vacation and would recommend this tour to other visitors. I knew little about the history of this city and learned a great deal of interesting information about the alleged 'ghosts of Charleston' on this tour. We visited several sites of supposed ghost sightings and were told the related ghost story at each location, complete with a visit inside a graveyard. Our tour guide was funny without even trying to be and made the tour a memorable one. This tour is not intended to be scary in nature but I found it to be well worth my time and money! | ||||||

| Several good stories with facts about Charleston but the ghost stories were mediocre. Best part was the trip to the cemetary. | ||||||

| We have been on many ghost tours around the country ,and this one had to have been the best I have ever attended. Ian (our guide), was very lively..with a great sence of humor. He not only gave us ghost stories, but a lot of Charleston history to go along with it. It was obvious that he enjoys his job, as he was very enthusiastic about the stories he was telling. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Charleston, even if you are not into ghosts..you will get a great history lesson and have a lot of fun! | ||||||

ghost stories?

| Silly me thought I was on a ghost tour, where ghost stories were told. In the hour and a half of the tour he told 2 stories. The rest of the time he spouted out history that had nothing to do with anything and tried to be funny by making as many puns as possible. I could have bought the book for the money that I spent on the tour and saved myself a big waste of time. | ||||||

| This tour was not interesting at all. With all the history in Charleston, surely more interesting stories can be found. We actually stopped by a house and the guide stated "This house is not haunted, but what if it was..." | ||||||
