	Great Fun The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park
	Wed, Oct 10, 07 9:30 PM	lwalline	Female	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
	The tour leader was a college student who was very enthusiastic about her job. She had some good stories to tell. Even though I am a sceptic, I enjoyed the walk through old Charleston and enjoyed the stories.

	We were on a trip encompassing Savannah, Charleston and the Great Smokey Mountains. We took ghost tours at each location (basically for the history lesson and not really for the ghost aspect) and the Charleston tour was the best, by far. Ben was our tourguide. He is an amazing story-teller and a great host. He was historically accurate, as well as, interesting and funny.
	Great time! The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park

	We had so much fun on this tour. It was by far our favorite activity from our vacation. The tour guide was great. We went back and did another tour we had so much fun. It's a must!

	Our tour guide, Ben, was enthuiastically engaging and painted a good picture of the early days of Charleston. Their tales add an essential piece to the cultural story of the town and can be backed up by historical record. This tour group is great and I highly recommend it.

	Our tour guide (Ben) was very enthusiastic and a great speaker. In addition to the Ghost stories, he gave us a lot of very interesting facts about history in Charleston.

	I was very impressed with the tour. The stories about the ghosts of Charleston was backed up with research done by authors of the book. Amanda was our tour guide and was excellent. She made the stories come to life and hold my attention. Everyone in the group loved it.
	Fun with some good historical bits The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park

	My wife and I enjoyed this tour. I've only been on one other walking tour like this and it was one of the Vampire tours in New Orleans. I thought, Amanda, our tour guide was great and did a good job delivering the spooky stories while we got to walk around downtown Charleston. I was more interested in the history and she managed to throw in some interesting stuff there too. We had a really good time overall and even left with some tips on other places to eat and visit while we stayed in Charleston.
	Entertaining The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park
	Sat, Sep 29, 07 9:30 PM	ShannonNoble	Female	30-39	Local	Group of Friends
	My husband and I, locals, took a couple of visiting friends. They thought the history was the most interesting part. The ghost stories (~5 depending on who you ask) were G-rated (a good thing for us) but not quite what we had hoped for. They told us another company has bought all the rights to enter cemetaries, so this tour didn't. We didn't enter any structure where a Charleston ghost was ever spotted. We did look over one cemetary fence for a story. Over all, the tourguide gets good marks for enthusiasm and voice, the story lines were average and the path was average.
	Wonderful The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park

	We regret we missed the Tour. Due to illness of the other person on my reservation, we were unable to attend the event. I would definitely sign up for it again when we return to Charleston next year.
	Not Recommended The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park
	Tue, Sep 11, 07 7:30 PM	bwnben	Male	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
	The tour guide was good, but the brochure led me and my groupd to believe that we were going to go into some of these buildings. However, instead was received a tour of the outside of these premesis.
	Average tour. The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park

	I have been on other tours in Charleston that were much more informative - more stories I guess. I have also been on a ghost tour in Chicago that really put this tour at a lower level. I felt we spent more time walking than hearing good ghost stories.
	History with a twist:) The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park
	Fri, Aug 31, 07 9:30 PM	JenHolland	Female	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
	What a wonderful way to start our vacation:) At first I was worried about the size of the group however the company was well prepared and split the group with two tour guides. Our tour guide was excellent. He was very dynamic and knew Charleston; Ghosts, legends and good eats. Thank you for a very memorable experience:)
	Not enough ghost stories The Ghosts of Charleston Tour - Waterfront Park
	Fri, Aug 31, 07 9:30 PM	thennessee	Male	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
	While our tour guide, Ian, was a walking encylopedia of knowledge about the founding of America, the Charleston area, and the history of the buildings in the town he was a bit brief on the ghost stories and knowledge. We were all expecting more in the way of scary stories, building access, and/or creepy situations. Unfortunately, we didn't get that. We all enjoyed Ian and he was a good storyteller. He just didn't tell us enough ghost stories. I am not sure what other options are avaialbe for ghost tours but we will recommend to our friends to shop around before booking this one. This was the first one that came up on my Google search and I didn't do my homework. I will take another ghost tour of Charleston but no the Buxton Tours one.
