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.
Erin_K, Jul 2026
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!
Noel_F, Jul 2026
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!
Kara_H, Jul 2026
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 :)
Ronda_R, Jun 2026
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!
cody_g, May 2026
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 😎
Patti_C, May 2026
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 ❤️ 👻
Connie_M, May 2026
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.
Gene_N, May 2026
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.
Howard_S, May 2026
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
Thanks Howard for coming on the tour and I really appreciate you taking the time to write a good review!
Michaelene_F, May 2026

Tamra_K, Apr 2026
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 :)
Nathan_H, Apr 2026
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.
SOPHIE_K, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for the awesome review, I am glad y'all decided to come on my tour and I hope to see y'all again for a History Tour...I have all new stories on that one :)
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.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much, it was great having y'all on the tour and I really appreciate the support of my small business here in Charleston!
Giovanni_A, Mar 2026

Response from Host, Mar 2026
I love giving tours so I am glad my passion showed and you enjoyed some of my gallows/dark humor to go with the creepy stories!
Ginny_P, Mar 2026
Fun time exploring Charleston! We loved our guide’s knowledge of local history and sharing personal experiences as well.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thanks for coming on the tour, I am glad you like my personal experience and story mixed in with the legends and ghost photos of Charleston.
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.

I do love history and maintain my history license and badge with the city. Hopefully I will see y'all in the future for a history tour. I have all new stories and we cover more ground. Thank you!
