Yawn….

I think the tour guide may have been new. Her storytelling lacked confidence and she used a lot of words repeatedly like “actually”. She made mistakes along the way, although she would catch herself, it caused us to lose interest. We “actually” ended up departing the tour a little early due to boredom. I’ve been on several tours/ghost tours in Charleston over the years. This was my least favorite. Again, perhaps the content would have been more interesting with an experienced guide.
Response from Host , Jul. 2022
We are sorry to hear that you didn’t have a 5-star experience with us. We appreciate all feedback, and we assure you we will use this for future tour improvement. To make up for this, we would like to offer you free tickets to use in any of our cities, without expiration, in hopes of giving you a much better experience.
Death and Depravity tour is a winner with Lance

Our tour guide Lance played the part perfectly on this Death and Depravity tour. His language matched the content. This tour is not for kids or adults sensitive to colorful language. I’m a docent myself and loved this tour. Just wish I would have seen a ghost!
Great tour

Most boring tour I have ever experienced. The tour ended in the middle of Charleston and the guide didn’t even help us get back to where we started the tour. Super disappointed
Response from Host , Jun. 2022
It’s extremely unfortunate your guide provided you with this type of tour. It is completely unacceptable, and we assure you that is not the standard we set at our company. To make up for this, we would like to offer you free tickets to use in any of our cities, without expiration, in hopes of giving you a much better experience.

Michael was an excellent tour guide and seemed very knowledge. He was very good in engaging the group. I found the story of Anna Ravenel and Edgar Allen Poe very interesting, and The Blind Tiger Bar story,
Laura-Great guide!

Had a wonderful tour with Michael! His tales from the past kept us intrigued. His descriptive narration of Charlestons dark history was fascinating. Strongly recommend this tour and guide.
Definitely worth it!

It was super interesting to hear about the ghost sighting just the night before. Also hearing about how Edgar Allen Poe began his decent into insanity was crazy. Our guide knew SO much history it was awesome!
Great Tour!

We had a great time on the ghost tour. Bri was an excellent guide. She had a wealth of knowledge about the various locations we visited and the spirits said to inhabit them. Between a few questionable photographs and some strange noises we’re pretty sure we got our money’s worth. Definitely take this tour.
Great experience

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
