| 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. | ||||||

| I enjoyed the tour with Mr. Phillips. He was informative and humorous, very interested. Definitely a little cheesey, but after living in Charleston for 4 years and never having been on a tour, I enjoyed it. | ||||||

| I've been traveling to Charleston my entire life and had never heard any of these stories before. I was glad to get a little variety, rather than the same old ghost stories that are known throughout the state. I did expect a little more hands-on tour, but the stories were fun and the guide was enthusiastic. While we saw a graveyard on our tour, I feel like there could be a separate tour for strictly graveyards around town. Overall, very interesting and something fun to do for the evening. | ||||||

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

| 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????!!!!!! | ||||||

| Was a good tour with lots of information but not scary and didn't seem to follow same guidelines set in advertisement through the company; was hoping it to be a little more aprehensive with the "GHOST" theory; also not as many stories told as was first thought from the add either. Overall ...good .......recommended for the family style so as not to scare children but not as 'spooky' as would have likened to hear and see. | ||||||

| 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..." | ||||||

| This was our second "ghost" tour and the first with this company. We much preferred our tour last year. This year's guide, though quite friendly, was very impressed with his credentials, spent inordinate amounts of time telling only 3 "ghost stories". The children, delighted last year and anxious to repeat their experience, were bored. | ||||||

ENJOYABLE GHOST TOUR

| Our guide was a very good story teller who had ample knowledge of the city and stories surrounding it. Traveling to the graveyard and hearing a ghost story told by the person who experienced it was also very intense. | ||||||

I wouldn't have been scared if I was in 1st grade!

| Can I just say how ridiculously juvenile this tour was?! I took my parents on a few tours while they were in town for their first time on Memorial Day weekend. This ghost tour was the one thing that we were looking forward to the most! Well, it was an absolute joke! I could have told better ghost stories than our tour guide told! He didn't really seem to know too much about the details and background of the ghost stories. It was a tour for 3rd graders...if not younger! We were in a group of 10, all of whom were in their mid-20's and older. At the end of the tour we all just stood around and complained about how horrible it was. Hey, at least we all became friends by making fun of the waste of money the tour was! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TOUR FOR ANYONE OVER THE AGE OF 10! | ||||||
