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 :)
Kate_D, Apr 2026
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.
Jenna_O, Apr 2026
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!
Sarah_N, Mar 2026
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.

Donna_C, Mar 2026
Group size nice. He was good to make sure we could all hear. The stories were interesting. Walk was not long.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you! I keep all of my tours smaller than the max of 20 that you will see out there. It does help for hearing as our city can be loud at night...especially on Friday or Saturday night.
Noah_R, Mar 2026
Adam was great. He shared a plethora of great stories and showed some pretty cool pictures. Very personable.

Ashley_Y, Feb 2026
Adam was an incredibly informative tour guide. It’s clear that he is passionate about the city of Charleston and its history. Additionally, my husband and I both recently hurt our backs and we were able to keep up with the tour which we both really appreciated. I would suggest a tour with him to anybody!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thanks Ashley, it was nice meeting you and your husband and I appreciate you taking the time to write about your experience. As someone who has had to work on a hurt back or rolled ankle If I can see someone is hurting or walking slower I will make sure we slow things down a bit. Tale care!
Vaunie_S, Feb 2026
Adam is a certified historian and natural story teller. Lots of scary facts and history with photos.

Rashi_M, Nov 2025
First time doing a ghost tour. Audience was mostly teenagers- guess we shouldn’t be surprised ! Charleston is a good city to do one if you’ve never done one.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thanks for coming on the tour. I have a teenage son myself and that group of teenagers was a tough crowd. Sorry about their behavior, I had to interject (as you saw). Thanks again.
Nancy_G, Nov 2025
Super fun tour- great history and ghost stories. Another side of Charleston to add to the charm and mystique
Response from Host, Nov 2025
That is what I am going for...a good mix of creepy history and ghost stories. I am glad y'all enjoyed my tour and appreciate you taking the time to write a review about it. Hopefully I will see y'all again for a history tour some day. I have all new stories for that :)
Marcie_S, Nov 2025
Spectacular combination of history and ghost tales. Adam is great fun and we enjoyed every second. We even captured an image at the St. Philip’s Church that had us all talking.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for choosing my ghost tour out of the many here in Charleston. I love when people are able to capture some odd things like orbs. St Philips is a hot spot for that.
Andrea_O, Nov 2025
Adam is very well educated on the history of Charleston! He did a great job of telling stories and showing us some of the most haunted areas of Charleston!

Adam is not only a great narrator, but he is quite the historian. This was our first trip to Charleston and our very first time experiencing a ghost tour and he did not disappoint. I would highly recommend if you are going to take a ghost tour that you book with Adam.
