Great experience. Very knowledgeable.

It was a great experience. Simon was our guide. He blended history with the ghost stories. It was an easy walk and he was entertaining while also informative. I would definitely recommend and would go back for another of their tours.

Fun guide with great knowledge of history

Enjoyed our ghost tour. Hit some sites and stories that were new to me even having taken ghost tours in the past. Guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Jerry was fantastic

Going on a tour like this with someone who is passionate about what they’re telling you, really makes the difference. Anyone can tell you stories and history. You could tell that Jerry was just excited about what he was saying. A fantastic tour.

The spirits of Charleston

Luke was fantastic! He was so enthusiastic and entertaining, sharing some of his own thoughts and experiences. Loved hearing the history and the legends. The best was finishing with a trip through the Unitarian Cemetery in the darkness. My husband and I went back to the cemetery in the daytime today to see it again. And oddly enough, we passed an older woman in the alley wearing a long red dress. Wish I could tell Luke! So cool.

Intriguing and immersive

Jerry has a well researched and very entertaining narrative. The tour was well worth the time and doing it at night both avoided the worst of the heat of the day and added to the experience
