Bethany Cemetery Exclusive
Lila Heartwell was very entertaining, funny and scary! We enjoyed the stories and the history of Charleston SC. It was nice to know that a portion of our ticket price goes directly to supporting Bethany Cemetery.

Not good.
For the price it was most definitely not worth it. Spent more time on the bus than we did actually visiting gravesites. Our tour guide, Aurthor Hyde, openly mocked Jesus Christ multiple times which to me in the service/entertainment industry is a huge mistake. Even if he doesn't believe in God, you shouldn't openly express that to people, especially at your place of work. 90 dollars for 2 people, was excessive to say the least. Most definitely won't be taking this tour, or recommending it to anybody.
