Must do - Absolutely fantastic. Great ghost stories and Captain Mike and Vic were wonderful. From checkin lady (sorry don’t remember her name) to the end of the tour, everything was superb. This is a must do on your trip to Charleston.

Fun time - Captain Mike was a great host and kept the mood fun with good stories of local hauntings. We are locals and have heard many stories before but Mike was able to share ones we had not heard which made it even better.
