Awesome tour

We had a wonderful time. While I love paranormal, I also love history. My husband had never been on a ghost tour and as a non-believer was not very interested. However they blended history a spooky tails well. The dungeon even managed to make him jump! He loved it and so did I!

Ghosts of Charleston

We had a great time. Albin (our guide) was very good and had some amazing stories. He was very knowledgeable and showed us places where people have seen or felt a presence. Some of these were horrible but he did a great job so I felt what these poor people were feeling. Albin was wonderful. Thanks for a great experience

Enjoyable tour, cool dungeon

We enjoyed it and loved the knowledge our guide had. He was very informative. At times however it was hard to hear him and understand him. We did not have any encounters with the sprits or paranormal, but we still enjoyed everything. But he did an excellent job and his knowledge was impeccable.
