Wore Me Out

| I'm sorry to report that this tour was such a disappointment. Since it is rare (I assume) that a ghost actually graces these tours with its presence, the tour depends on (1) interesting history and (2) a good storyteller tour guide. The history is there, but our poor guide turned the time into an ordeal. Rather than being weird in a good way, he was just weird. It seemed obvious that he knew his history. But it seemed equally obvious that he'd told the stories so many times that he'd lost whatever connection he might have once had with his audience. Jerky, disjointed narrative that was so hard to follow...and I really tried. By the time we reached the last 15 minutes it was torture just to keep listening. On a carriage tour the day before, the guide mentioned that after so many tours the horses get two weeks in the pasture. You might want to consider that for your humans. Like I said, sorry to bear a bad report, but this tour was terrible | ||||||

| The tour was both entertaining and informative. Our guide, Ian, was extremely knowledgeable and provided a humorous, and at times spooky commentary that kept his audience interested the entire time. Historic downtown Charleston architecture and landscapes are an excellent backdrop for the ghostly stories recounted by the tour guide. | ||||||

Did not think it was worth the money.

| Of all the things we did in Charleston, this was the least favorite. The guide was so-so at the best. Told a few jokes that we could do without. Only told a couple of ghost stories and they were so-so. the only one we likes was when we were in the graveyard. save your money on this tour and pick another one. | ||||||

Not quite what I had hoped it would be

| The quality of each tour is very dependent on the particular tour guide and this tour was a little disappointing. Too much hype. Too much history of Charleston (which is interesting but some of it seemed irrelevant to the theme of the tour) and simply not enough scary ghost stories. Buxton's book has so many more stories and our guide told just a fraction. I paid for the tour for all eight in our group and feel that I wasted my money. | ||||||

| My husband and I found this tour disappointing and boring. The guide was nice enough, but the tour lacked GHOST or the history of ghost in Charleston. For an old city that has survived pirates, hurricanes, wars and earthquakes this should have been an extremely interesting tour. I would not recommed this particular tour but would suggest to anyone that is interested that they try another tour. | ||||||

| Rambled; both of us found it difficult to know where he was going with his stories; didn't really make it particularly interesting to us; wouldn't recommend it to anyone. | ||||||

| My 3 sisters and 4 cousins really enjoyed the Ghost Tour. The graveyard really was the best part. I'd recommend it to my friends as a must do event. | ||||||

Disappointment

| I was sooo excited to take this tour. We had heard it was the best one, not hokey or filled with lame jokes. Guess what?! It was hokey, filled with lame jokes and the guide mentioned at least three times that other ghost tours were using "our book". My expectation was that we would hear about more ghosts in the area other than several mentioned in the book. We did learn some info about picture signs used in the past that related to life and death which was interesting. I would try another ghost tour by another tour company to compare. There was no problem with the Zerve service! | ||||||

| Our tour guide was awesome. It was good that it was just my Boyfriend and I so it was an intimate crowd. We got a chance to take short cuts and hear the wonderful stories as we walked. Ian, I think his name was, was great! I would highly reccoemmend this tour to anyone who's from near or far. Thanks! | ||||||

| Our guide was very knowlegeable of Charleston history and culture and had a great way of telling interesting ghost stories to connect the past and present . He told stories in such a manner that it captivated our attention and created suspense without having to use cheesy tactics to "scare" us. It was a fabulous tour and I can't wait to go on it again my next visit to Charleston! | ||||||

| The kids (9 and 10) loved it, being big fans of Ghost Hunters they felt like they were on a hunt themselves. The guide was enthusiastic and really knew the history of the city. He also had a good sense of humor, which is always appreciated by my family. Although we did not personally get to see any ghosts, at least now I will know where to keep an eye out!! | ||||||

| Our guide, Ian, was a very good story teller, very into the whole experience. He kept a sense of humor which lightened it up for the kids in the group and shared lots of information which converted the others! I totally recommend this group tour, apparantly the original ghost touring company in town. | ||||||

| I liked the tour. However, I wished we could have spent more time exploring the haunted cemeteries and less time walking around side streets and parks. | ||||||
