We attended the pub crawl on Halloween and were disappointed with the experience. The guide informed us at the start that we wouldn’t be visiting any of the bars advertised because they were too busy on Halloween. Instead, we went to one bar, one restaurant/bar, and a booze pop van. If we had known in advance that the advertised stops wouldn’t be included, we would have made other plans.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that the Halloween Pub Crawl didn’t meet your expectations and that the change in stops impacted your experience. We understand how important it is for guests to know what to expect, and we apologize for any frustration caused by not having the advertised bars available.
Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll use it to improve communication for future tours. We appreciate you giving us a try and sharing your experience.

Tom was our guide. He was easy to hear and understand. He told ghostly tales along the way and inside each of the 3 pubs visited.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for joining us, and Tom, in Charleston. We really appreciate it and hope that the rest of your time in town was just as much fun!
Nancy_L, Oct 2025
Lots of laughs and overall fun time!! Great locations on the stops. From dungeon to rooftop and great stories.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thanks for joining us! We’re happy to hear you had such a memorable and fun experience.

This was an awesome night. Our guide was so knowledgeable and very friendly. We highly recommend taking this tour.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We're glad you had a great time with Ghost City Tours. Thanks for your recommendation and we hope to see you again soon!
Alexa_J, Sep 2025
Tom was an awesome tour guide. He shared his personal experiences as well as the experiences of others he’s spoken too. He was very knowledgeable about the history and was very open to questions! Would definitely come again and recommend to all! Ask for Tour Guide Tom!!!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time with Tom—he’ll be so happy to hear your kind words. We love that his stories and knowledge made the tour memorable for you. We’d be excited to have you back again, and thanks for recommending him!

Definitely would not recommend. I’ve done other ghost tours where I’ve gotten goosebumps. This one was underwhelming at best. A couple of the pubs were cool, but it was pretty boring otherwise.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear the tour didn’t deliver the experience you were hoping for. While I’m glad you enjoyed a couple of the pub stops, it’s clear the overall tour fell short for you, and we appreciate you letting us know. Your comments help us improve, and we’re sorry this one missed the mark.

This tour was not what was advertised. It’s called a “haunted pub crawl,” but we walked past several pubs where the guide said, “this place is amazing, but we’re not going to stop.” We only stopped at one bar midway through and one at the very end. If you’re mainly interested in ghost stories, this might be the right tour for you. However, I was disappointed overall. Our guide didn’t seem very confident in the stories, often filling pauses with “um” and “and…,” which made the tour feel less engaging than it could have been
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sorry to hear the tour didn’t match what you expected from a haunted pub crawl. We understand how disappointing it is to pass by pubs without stopping, and we appreciate you pointing that out. I’m also sorry the storytelling didn’t feel as confident or engaging as it should have—your guide’s delivery plays a big part in the experience, and we’ll be addressing this.
Thank you again for the honest feedback. It helps us improve and offer a better experience for future guests.

Zack was our guide and did an absolutely AMAZING job. He was very personable and has a true talent for story telling. He kept everyone engaged and entertained. The way he wove the stories made them easy to understand and remember so you can go back and learn more about this city’s spooky past. The personal touches he added to the experience, like photos and personal stories, made it an unforgettable night and a highlight of our trip. I’d book this tour again in a heartbeat. It was THAT good! Thank you Zack from the bottom of our hearts!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear Zack made your tour unforgettable. His storytelling truly brings the city’s spooky history to life, and we’re so glad it made such an impact on your experience. We’ll definitely pass along your kind words to Zack. We can’t wait to have you back for another tour!
Molly_P, Jul 2025

Luke_B, Jul 2024
William was a great tour guide with a good sense of humor and cool historical stories! I would definitely recommend!
Jessica_H, Jun 2024
I went on this tour with my friends and one of them off the bat was not a fan of ghosts but we talked her into it and it was her favorite part of our trip! Jamie was our tour guide and killed it! The walking wasn't terrible at all as everything was in close proximity. Jamie also had a lot of knowledge with Charleston which we appreciated!
Laura_C, Jun 2024
This was not a pub crawl. The guide was hard to follow. It rained, so we left after a half hour. This should not be marketed as a pub crawl.
Steven_K, May 2024
My husband and I visit Charleston at least twice a year. We always make a point of doing a ghost tour. We like to hear the local stories as they are told uniquely each time. Jonsie was an amazing tour guide. She was very personable and enthusiastic the entire time. She really knows the stories and legends of Charleston perfectly. She even told us a few new stories that we haven’t heard before. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone in the area. :)
Tayler_H, May 2024
Justin was incredibly entertaining and informative. He was also very accommodating and understanding of our unusual attendees (being eight months pregnant on a pub crawl). Great tour!
Freddie_K, Apr 2024
Jonsie was very nice and had good tales...a bit softspoken for a tour guide, but we had fun a lot of fun for sure!
