Awesome ghost tour

Our tour guide was great - we were the 3 rd and last group to go out and so happy we got the tour guide we did - Jack - it was spooky and I was really scared - this is one of the first type of these tours where I actually jumped once or twice - awesome!! Would do it again!

We are so happy you had a wonderful time! Hope to see you again on your next trip to Charleston!

Lisa was a wonderful guide. She was prompt, friendly, and accommodating. The walking tour was informative and she was gracious and attentive in sharing her knowledge of the city and its history. Truly a great experience!

Thank you so much for spending some of your trip with us. We are glad you enjoyed it!

Interesting story telling walking tour around downtown area and cemeteries. Didn't see any ghosts. A little slow at times and dragged out.

We are happy to hear that you had a wonderful time! Thank you for spending a portion of your trip with us!

Our family loved the tour, led by Abby! She was funny, engaging, and a great story teller. We learned a lot and my two teenagers were thoroughly entertained. No trip to Charleston would be complete without a spooky ghost tour - highly recommend!

We are so thankful for your wonderful comments! Creating a unique experience for our guests is something we pride ourselves on! Thank you so much!

Braxton was extremely entertaining, interactive, knowledgeable and most of all, he was patient. We had some talkers on our tour, and he never got annoyed, just remained on track and answered any and all questions. Furthermore, we witnessed a drunk driver on the road and even when the police had to be called, Braxton was able to do both jobs as a concerned citizen and informative tour guide. It was overall a very memorable experience.

Wow, thank you so much for your positive feedback! We are pleased that you enjoyed your tour with us! Thank you for leaving such a wonderful review!

Our walking tour was excellent. Our guide Zach was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Charleston history. The tour included interesting details and humor as well. We especially appreciated that the tour gave a sensitive, inclusive take on local history. We highly recommend!
