Tour guide was very...
Tour guide was very sensitive to the fact that there were multiple younger kids. It was a good tour but we were disappointed that we didn't get to go inside any graveyards. We've done a tour before and they took us in the Circular Church graveyard. He mentioned about it not being allowed but there was a different group out and our guide didn't notice but this group went in through one of the front gates. I guess you have to have special entrance. Not sure. Anyway, overall it was a good time. There were bad thunderstorms around but they stayed on the edge of the city and we just got sprinkled on and that was it. Was so glad because we didn't have another night there. We liked this tour as it was infiltrated with historical facts as well.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad your guide was thoughtful about the younger guests and that you enjoyed the mix of Charleston history and ghost stories. We also understand the disappointment about not entering the graveyards; access can vary by location and tour, and not all groups are permitted to enter. We’re glad the weather cooperated enough for you to enjoy the evening, and we appreciate you joining us!

Perfect for spooky story fans!
Fascinating, enjoyable tour that would be great for families with slightly older kids!
A family member and I went on this tour together and had a wonderful time. Our guide, Kit, was a delight: knowledgeable, funny, and an excellent storyteller. I grew up in the area, and Kit had tales to tell that were new to me, which I LOVED!
The stories on the tour are just the right level of spooky to be enjoyable for a pretty broad age range. No spoilers here, but I feel like this tour would be a hit with most folks about ten and up.
I look forward to checking out further tours in the future!

It’s especially nice to hear that even as someone who grew up in the area, you still came away with new stories. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Kit, and we’d love to have you join us on another tour!

Fun family experience!
Our tour guide, Ms. Ravenel, was very professional and knowledgeable. I love how she was very aware of our kids and told stories in a way that was fun but not too scary. I also appreciate how punctual she was with the start time of the tour. She took us to great locations. Would definitely recommend!

A charming, ghostly experience! A++ Rating
We truly enjoyed this ghost tour in Charleston,. We went to many sites and heard lots of interesting stories. Our guide was a descendent of one of the wealthiest families and they immigrated over in the mid 1600s. It was great to hear her perspective and one of her family stories. She was super sweet and went above and beyond to answer our questions and even kept our tour running a little bit longer so she could explain even more. Thank you for a memorable evening!

Can I get a partial refund?
Guide not friendly and got mad at a 16 year old for not being totally amazed by his presentation. Argued with a 12 year old because she asked a clarifying question. We have done many CHS ghost tours and this one was the worst. Please consider a partial refund at least.
Operator response

Our tours should be welcoming and engaging for guests of all ages, and questions should always be handled respectfully. We’ll be sharing your comments with our team as part of our ongoing guide coaching and development.

Michael was a great guide! The tour was fun and not too much of a walk for our 6 year old. Learning the history was fun.
