Eerie History! - Wearing comfy shoes is a must for this experience. The walk was easy and the stories were captivating. We were lucky enough to hear a blood curdling scream, one of our mates was grazed ever so slightly by an energy, our emf meters were reacting, and the tour guide, Brandon, has a gift for keeping his audience engaged! I'm not going to give any spoilers but a very famous author was mentioned as well as a very famous pirate.

Brandon was our tour... - Brandon was our tour guide, and he did a fantastic job. He is very down to Earth, and seemed to genuinely care about providing a good experience for everyone on the tour group. He was very knowledgeable, telling us both historical facts about the area meshed in with spooky ghost tales of some historic land marks. He also pointed out good restaurants to try, and mentioned some other fun things to do in the area. I would absolutely recommend this activity on your first or second night of your vacation. It’s informative, fun, and a good bang for your buck.

The Very Best — Can’t Recommend Brandon Highly Enough - Brandon was knowledgeable, passionate about his subject, and serious and funny by turn, and made the experience exceptional. Everyone in my group had a great time, and I would encourage anyone considering a tour of haunted Charleston to join him on an after-dark walk. It was terrific.

There are better options - The tour guide was nice enough, but the stories were very long winded, and quite honestly not interesting. Towards the end, we were separated from the group, we were able to get a hold of the tour guide, but he would not wait for us even though we were 2 1/2 minutes away. So I guess that was the end of our tour. Overall, it was a really disappointing experience
