Our guide was a fun...

Jeffrey_E, Apr 2024

Our guide was a fun storyteller. Cool experience learning about some of the Charleston ghosts. We also learned some interesting facts about Charleston on the walk.

Very popular

Kathleen_B, Mar 2024

There were almost 30 people in the group, which was just too many. It started at 20ish people, but then more joined late(their family/friends were already with the group). The guide was fine, but I was expecting a bit more

Not for us

Diana_B, Mar 2024

Tour guide was exceptionally soft spoken and lacked historical knowledge. Our group was also 30 people big, making it difficult to maintain.

Ghostly glance at Charleston history

Steven_W, Dec 2023

Despite the very wet weather, tour was great and guide was super interesting (and super wet) and provided a great glance at the ghostly history of Charleston. 5-stars!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks for your review! We are so glad to hear you had a spooky fun time, despite the sprinkles.

Not worth the money

Diane_D, Oct 2023

Not worth the money. Walked in the dark and heard a few stories, very little about ghosts . Not scary at all. Boring

Angela_M, Oct 2023

Very disappointed

Nordwing_V, Sep 2023

Where should I start. Tour guide was not well spoken, looked nervous the whole time and felt like this was his first day doing this. He ended the tour after 58 minutes, I paid for 90. And when I complained to Viator and wanted a refund or some kind of compensation, I got a sorry but we cannot help you e-mail.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Im SORRY to hear that your experience was negative! Give us the opportunity to show you what GCT is about. We strive for the best experience when out with our guests!

So fun!

Frances_V, Sep 2023

Seth was amazing. He was able to grab our interest and keep it for the whole tour! There were kids in the group and he did a great job balancing the adults and the kids. I thoroughly enjoyed everything Seth shared about the history and general knowledge of the city. Truly a great experience!

Tour guide never appeared

Ariel_F, Sep 2023

The tour guide did not show up. I contacted both the guide and customer service and neither helped. I drove two hours for this tour. I want a refund

Response from Host, Sep 2023

we are terribly sorry for your bad experience!! please come back and let us show you the true lively experience you were hoping for!

Would recommend

Chelsea_C, Aug 2023

Our guide was awesome, very knowledgeable, and obviously enjoyed what he was doing. We enjoyed walking around Charleston at night and maybe even caught a picture of a ghost or two.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thanks for your review. We are so excited to hear you not only enjoyed the tour greatly, but got some true paranormal evidence of your own!

We were in family...

Tabatha_D, Aug 2023

We were in family vacation and decided to do this tour. It’s was only $25 for an hour and half. Don our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the experience great. We learned a lot about the city and the stories were very interesting. We’d recommend this tour and Don as a guide any day.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thanks for your review! We are so thrilled to hear you and your family had a great time on tour with Don. Please come see us again, or in any city in the US that we operate.

Katie was great

Wendy_B, Aug 2023

Our tour guide Katie was wonderful and fun. A lot of history given with a scary aspect. Thanks Katie

Response from Host, Aug 2023

thanks for your review! We were so glad to have you join Ghost City Tours in Charleston with Katie. Thanks for choosing us for a spook-tacular time!

Fantastic walking ghost tour!

Madison_C, Aug 2023

Erin was great! He showed us some pretty cool pictures and had great ghost stories. This was a perfect tour for the evening after dinner. I’m a local here and had no idea some of the interesting stories all through east bay and the battery.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for your review! We are so glad you had a fun and spooky walk after dinner and got to learn some interesting new info about your hometown.

Fun, pretty kid-friendly ghosts tales

Kristin_S, Jul 2023

Our family had a fun time on this tour. While the stories did mildly touch on some of the violence during the days of pirates in Charleston, it’s still pretty kid-friendly. What would have been really cool is if it started a bit later. Once it was dark the stops and the graveyards made it a little extra spooky! It’s a great time!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thanks for your review. We are so glad your family enjoyed the stories on tour. We do offer a later 10pm tour for ages 16+.

I highly recommend this...

Andrew_W, Jul 2023

I highly recommend this tour. It was a fun way to spend 90 minutes. Seth was a great guide and we managed to learn some interesting things along the way!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your review! We are so thrilled to hear you had a great time on the tour with Seth. It was our pleasure to have you as a guest.

Not worth it

Michelle_R, Jun 2023

This was not at all what I thought. It was a walking tour and the guide would show pictures from his phone and told us to use our “imagination”.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear the tour did not live up to your expectations. If you would like to try a different experience, please call 855-999-9026. We'd like to make it right!

Great tour!

Lisa_C, Jun 2023

Aaron was very knowledgeable and a good story teller. He made the tour very interesting. He had pictures of most of the ghosts on each stop. This was longer and cheaper than many other tours. Great deal!!

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear you had a great time on the tour with Aaron. It was our pleasure to have you as a guest.
