It wasn't a very long (in duration or distance) tour, but I feel like it hit all of the high points and left us with a desire to seek out more information on certain things during our stay. Didn't stray into the questionable tall tales some tours do - stuck to the well documented, confirmed stories.
An enjoyable and informative evening! Our guide was excellent . Loved the pictures as well as the stories
Adam was fantastic!! So knowledgeable and gave history information as well as ghost stories!! Cannot recommend enough
Highly recommended! Tour was well structured and very organized from beginning to end. Adam our guide, was amazing throughout the entire tour.
Adam was Fun with good stories of Charleston history & ghosts. It wasn’t too much walking & thunder & windy night added fun vibes.

Thanks Julie, those summer stormy nights with the lightning in the distance are the best tours to do. I am glad y'all got to experience it and thanks for picking my tour!
Great guide, very entertaining and friendly. Extremely informative. Some great ghost stories and Charleston history.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you Philip, I am glad y'all enjoyed the tour and thanks for taking the time to write a nice review too.
We love taking ghost tours whenever friends or family visit Charleston, usually making an evening of it with dinner and a tour. We’ve been on quite a few over the years, and our tour with Adam Moore was by far the best!
Adam was incredibly knowledgeable and did a wonderful job blending Charleston history with the ghost stories. Even as locals, we learned several things we had never heard before. The entire tour was interesting, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable. We would absolutely recommend Adam’s tour to locals and visitors alike. Five stars!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Wow, what a kind and nice review...thank you so much for taking the time to write one. It really means alot to be called the best since since you have taken other ghost tours in the city over the years! I am happy to hear everyone enjoyed the blend of ghosts, true crime and dark history...that's what I am going for. Hopefully I will see y'all again for a history tour. I have all new stories on that one :)
Adam was great! Very knowledgable, funny, and entertaining. Even my family that are locals enjoyed learning the history of their city.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thanks Jen for coming on the tour, that's an especially good compliment when I can get locals to say they enjoy the tour and touristy stuff :) Thanks again for supporting my small business.
If you enjoy a good mix of history and storytelling Adam is definitely the guide for you. He has such a vast knowledge of all of the history involved in this town and that makes the storytelling even better. It’s always better when you can tell someone loved what they do!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thanks for coming on the tour, I do love giving history and ghost tours in the city. Since I am a historian I like to mix in some dark history, true crime and ghost photos in my tour. A little something for everyone.
Great for a family! The tour guide was very informative and answered questions. He was a great story teller!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you, I am glad y'all took my tour and enjoyed the storytelling and history on my tour. Take Care!
My husband and I had a wonderful time walking around learning some of the history and how the ghost stories tie in. LOVED IT! Adam does a fantastic job and we look forward to another one when we return.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thanks so much Danielle! I look forward to seeing y'all again and I would be honored to show you more of Charleston on a daytime History Tour. I have all new stories and we cover some interesting alley's in town.
We had a group ranging from age 82 to age 12 and Adam’s stories of Charleston history and pace of the tour were enjoyed by all. The combination of ghost stories and Charleston history made this a learning and spooky experience! If you’re looking to go into graveyards and cemeteries, this is likely not the experience for you- but if you’re hoping to experience a more realistic and informative ghost tour that speaks to all, please choose this!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thanks Erin for coming on the tour, your group was so fun and pleasant.. I bounce around on the tour to 5 spots (2 marked graveyards) and 2 unmarked graveyards so I keep things moving around rather than going deep into 1 graveyard. I am certainly not the ghost hunting type of tour but I am delighted y'all chose my tour and the range of people enjoyed the variety for ghosts, history and true crime. Thanks for supporting my small business :)
Adam was not only extremely knowledgeable about Charleston ghost stories but also the history of the city as well. We had so much fun, I highly recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thanks Noel, I love telling stories and I know alot of random stuff and history about Charleston...I am glad y'all enjoyed the tour and thank you for writing a nice review.
The tour was an easy walk, nothing strenuous. We enjoyed hearing some of the history of the city, as well as a few ghost stories. There were no jump scares, which was good for my family.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thanks for coming on the tour! It was a hot and humid night for sure and no I am not the jump scare type of tour guide so I am glad you appreciated the real history, creepy stories and ghost photos :)
Very fun!! Adam was very informative and made the trip interesting. It was an easy walk and we got some really cool pictures.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks so much for coming on the tour and for the nice review. It always makes for an awesome tour when you get some cool interesting pictures and orbs. Thanks for sharing!
Adam was very fun and knowledgeable, even for some of the older guest who walked slow he made she not leave or make them feel rushed in anyway. I 100 percent recommend this tour and we will book again with Adam for one of his history tours. I'll also add this tour was dog friendl!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Awe thanks for the great review! I am so happy to hear y'all had a good time. I know everyone usually has had a busy, long and hot day by the time they are on my tour at night. I try and keep things at an easy pace and I try and make sure we have a spot 1/2 through for people to sit. Hopefully I will see y'all again for a history and alleyway tour. I got alm few good history stories for that one 😎
Fun, interesting, scarey and awesome history! Adam was a great tour guide. Only do a ghost tour with him.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks for the great review! There are so many ghost tours you could do in Charleston and that's awesome you picked mine. It's just me out here with my own business so you really are supporting a local really small business by booking my tour ❤️ 👻
It was very interesting and entertaining. Enjoyed all the historical info.
Some walking involved, wish we could have gone in the buildings or grave yards.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for coming on the tour and writing a nice review! Hopefully I will see y'all again for a history tour or scavenger hunt.
Adam has a Weath of historical information. He has the gift of storytelling and adds the background information that keeps your interest.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks Gene for choosing my tour and for the great review. I know alot of random interesting historical information so in between stories I like to sprinkle some of that in, I am glad you liked it.
Adam was very knowledgeable and personable. The tour was just the right length. You could stay afterwards if you wanted to ask more questions, etc.
Response from Host, May 2026

Best Ever....that is quite a compliment!! I am so happy to hear y'all enjoyed the tour because you are right...I truly love doing tours in Charleston :)

Thank you Amanda for coming on the tour. That's great you all liked the combination of history and true crime and ghosts. Take care!
Adam is very knowledgeable and personable. He knew his History and had great ghost stories. He answered all questions and was open to helping us with other activities we should do while in Charleston. I would HIGHLY recommend Adam!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for coming on the tour and supporting my small business! I have been working downtown for many years and am a member of the Charleston Tour Association so I do know a lot about random house tours, great museums, restaurants and bars . I get really excited when I hear people liked the suggestions too :)
Adam was an excellent guide. We very much enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to everyone……………..
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you Nathan for choosing my tour out of all the ghost tours in Charleston. It's just me and my small business out here so it goes a long way :)
Such an amazing tour! I couldn’t recommend Adam more. He’s super knowledgeable and tells the most accurate stories. It’s a good mix of true crime and ghosts! Really nice guy too! We could come again!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks Kate! You summed up my story perfectly. I know not everyone believes in ghost so I mix it up with true crime and murder stories, dark history and some ghost photos and stories. Hopefully I will see y'all again some day for a history tour or scavenger hunt.
Adam was a nice friendly guy who told great stories and even showed us so great photos. He is very knowledgeable of Charleston history and the town. There were lulls in the tour where we were just walking. Most tour guides will talk most of the time so I felt he could have added to the experience but overall we learned a lot.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for coming on the tour, I am glad y'all enjoyed the photos and stories. We walk about 5 blocks total on the tour. Most of Charleston is haunted but I like to take people to where the incidents occurred and then tell the story once we are there. Thanks again!
Adam was awesome! He shared a lot of history as well as dark/ spooky facts & stories. Bonus points because he was just a likeable guy!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much, I like those bonus points added on there haha! Hope to see y'all again some day for a history tour or scavenger hunt.
You will get to hear some fun ghost stories, see pictures of some ghosts, and learn a little history of the town!
