Ghost tour

| I did not like the tour guide, who spent more time telling random facts rather than ghost stories. On our 80 minute tour, only 3 ghost stories were told, and we were taken on random routes throughout the city. I have been on several ghost tours in various cities throughout the US, and this was by far the worst ghost story. Normally after a tour, I feel that I have learned a lot of history about the city. After this tour, I did not get this feeling. Our tour guide spent the last 30-40 minutes telling us his own personal story, and it was so strange and not at all in keeping with the description of the tour. I was very unsatisfied by this tour, and would recommend any other Charleston ghost tour over this comapny's. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

Exciting and an Adventure!

| It's a great family activity, but if you're REALLY into ghosts and want something a little more in depth and hands on, this probably isn't the tour for you. It's great for an overall history and walkabout and especially for families with kids. | ||||||

| This was our second walking ghost tour and all members of our party left a little disappointed (our first ghost tour in Savannah, GA was excellent). The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. However we all agreed that there was too much emphasis on Charleston's history and not enough ghost stories. In an hour and a half we only heard one ghost story, two stories explaining personal experiences and loads of history. We would not recommend this tour. | ||||||

| I had high expectations about the tour, so I thought I would fell let down. That was not the case. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and told good stories, both ghost and historical fact and trivia. The only negative comments I have is that we left at least fifteen minutes late and fifteen or more minutes was spent with the history of the settlement of Charleston. I would have rather had fifteen extra minutes walking around and having an extra story or two told. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| We have participated in other tours in Charleston, including other ghosts tours. The group leader was the weakest we have experienced; not particularly well spoken nor did she use antidotes to improve the experience. Had this been the first tour we had taken, it is unlikley we would do it again. | ||||||

| The web site made it look as if this were the best tour in Charleston, and that spaces were so limited you'd need to purchase tickets far in advance in order to get in on this tour. My family has gone on ghost tours all over the south, and this one was the worst by far. We were the only people in our group, our tour guide was less than enthusiastic, and the stories weren't so great, either. They could have been made better if the guide had felt more like putting effort into it. I suspect that the small group (of four) was disappointing to him as well. Never again. | ||||||

| Some interesting stories, but always told from the outside (i.e. for some reason we were always standing outside of graveyards listening to stories as we watched people on other, presumably better, tours walking through the graveyards). Somehow, standing near an allegedly spooky place (or not even anywhere near it, in a few cases) while listening to a story of something that happened there doesn't really get the job done. This tour could have been accomplished as story time in a library with far less effort required, and without losing much in the way of experience or content. I strongly recommend choosing another tour. So did my hotel's concierge, and I wish I would have listened to her. | ||||||
