“We thoroughly enjoyed our evening on this ghost tour! Our guide, Simon, was excellent, providing a captivating and detailed recounting of ghost stories sourced from a local author. His knowledge and presentation truly made the historical lore come alive. It’s important to note that this tour focuses more on local storytelling and history than outright frights—it wasn't spooky or scary, but the narrative quality was outstanding. A practical tip: The route involves walking through several low-lit areas with uneven cobblestone streets and walkways. Be sure to wear appropriate, comfortable shoes, and keep an eye on your footing! Highly recommended for anyone interested in Charleston's history an...”

“Brandon was awesome! Very knowledgeable about the area and its history, unlike other haunted tours we have taken.
