Had a blast trying a new experience in a city we know and love!
Charleston is rich with history and Geordie did an excellent job of weaving together stories from all eras. Everyone in our group wished we had more time to dive deeper into the various stories because Geordie had so much to share. I was impressed with his personal knowledge and his journalistic background. Highly recommend!
Operator response
Thank y’all for joining the Supernatural Charleston Tour and for your enthusiasm. Hope that you can come spend more time exploring the paranormal underbelly of the Holy City.

Not worth the $$
Though knowledgable of Charleston’s history Jordy’s delivery was erratic and off topic. Nice enough person but was unfortunately the worst tour guide we’ve ever had. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed the city of Charleston.
Operator response
We’re sorry you were unable to see value in the eleven national historic landmarks you were kindly guided to, especially the cultural aspects. While there are some things we can not fix, we can likely help you resolve any issues in less time it took you to post this broad critique if you contact directly.

Amazing tour filled with ghost stories & Charleston history!
Having such an extensive knowledge of Charleston history and current events, Geordie was an amazing & entertaining tour guide! We enjoyed the ghost stories, and as a bonus learned much about Charleston history that we weren't expecting. Thank you Geordie!!

Top! Absolutely recommendable!
Probably the best historical tour of Charleston! I can absolutely recommend the tour guide Geordie. He was always able to answer all questions, had a very thorough knowledge of Charleston's history and was also really funny - the 2.5 hours flew by! He even went a little over time according to our wishes and included a few more sights! During the tour you felt like you had gone back in time and could more than vividly imagine how Charleston became the city it is today. Conclusion: absolutely recommended if you visit Charleston!

Great historical context!
Guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable! Great historical context and local stories made the tour very entertaining.
Only downside was some of the other people on the tour were inebriated and were being obnoxious.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience and joining the tour. We reserve the right to ask guests to leave if they are disrespectful of others, especially children, on the tour. We apologize for not catching the issue sooner, and hope you will join the French Quarter Walk complimentary the next time you visit.

self loathing poet
All he talked about was his book and politics and the Bible (which I dont care about but it had nothing todo with ghosts) literally everything was hard to keep up with i feel like there were no ghost stories but every chance he got he brought up his political opinion and its like no one (no one) cares
Operator response
Your tour is guaranteed at the end of every tour. If you are unable to view historical landmarks within context of their Biblical or historical political names, then you may better off with a good book written by people who do care to acquaint you with the area before you take a guided tour. We can help with that. Best wishes.
