Great tour guide! Interesting tour left me wanting more…

Jennifer_P, Jun 2026
The tour guide was a great story-teller, the places were interesting and filled with history, a little saucy but not hurtful, history lessons off the beaten track!

Fun walking tour

Victoria_D, Jun 2026
The tour was very fun and in a small group I feel it was more enjoyable. I would do something like this again in Charleston or another city

Cold spirts

Robin_S, Jun 2026
It was very cheesy with the tour operator talking more about herself and less time out on the drinking ghost tour. We were hoping it would have been a little more fun and entertaining. It didn’t help probably that it was very cold and damp out. Probably won’t do one again.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hi Robin, We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your tour. We would appreciate it if you would reach out to us directly with more information. If it was cold and damp out, your tour must have been some time ago, so a few more details can help us use this feedback constructively.

I had a great time, the stories were informative and spooky. The guide was very professional and knew a lot about the history of the town.

Joe was superb!

Brady_J, Apr 2026
Jo did an awesome job and really knows her stuff! She took us to 3 different bars and we wouldn’t have ever visited those bars if not for this trip. Great tour!

Booze and little boos

holly, Apr 2026
It really doesn't have much to do with pubs. There was a lot of walking and not a lot of spirits in the bars themselves. It seemed like she had us get a drink just to waste some time. She was very interesting and informative, but it wasn't what I expected. I have been on ghost tours in many cities and ones including pubs, and this had the least to do with that.

The tour was really fun...

Kimberly_B, Mar 2026
The tour was really fun and an easy walk. Our tour guide, Vanna, was incredible. She made the tour! Her facts and presentation were superb!

Ghost/ booze tour galore!

Steven_S, Mar 2026
Where do I begin, her knowledge and enthusiasm of Charleston‘s ghost hauntings and bars were unbelievably in-depth and fun! She was into her character so much that our approximate 2 1/2 hour tour turned into a 3 1/2 hour tour! It was by far the most fun booze:/ghost tour I’ve ever been on!

Choice this tour!!!

Kristen_G, Mar 2026
This was our first tour and it was soo awesome! Vanna was intriguing! Wish it was longer to hear hear more!!! Definitely highly recommend this tour!!!

Great tour

joseph_W, Mar 2026

Super fun and lively...

Emma_A, Mar 2026
Super fun and lively tour! Definitely have to be into the ghost aspect for the most ideal experienxe

Fun tour

Michelle_Z, Mar 2026
Jo was full of interesting stories and ghost lore. This was a really fun tour and we had enough time to grab drinks along the way.

Don’t make this mistake

Randi_S, Jan 2026
Not as expected. The tour was very light on ghosts and heavier on history. A different guide might have made this more endurable but we simply could not finish the full tour listening to Vanna and chose to leave after the 2nd bar.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hi Randi, all of our ghost stories are rooted in history, so every tour includes a blend of both haunts and historical context. As anyone can see, Vannah is one of our top-reviewed guides. She even has five stars from other guests on your tour, so it is unfortunate that you felt differently about your experience.

Vannah is the best ghost tour guide!

Susan_T, Jan 2026
Vannah was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the history. She is very animated and this helps to keep you engaged. She also had her infrared camera to look for orbs as well. Would def rec this!

Vana was upbeat,...

Annette_Y, Jan 2026
Vana was upbeat, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and funny! We had a great evening and made new friends!

Kyle_J, Jan 2026
It was our first time in Charleston and we happened to find this ghost tour looking for things to do ahead of our travels. So glad we did! Vanna was awesome and so knowledgeable, the tour was fun and informative. The people in our tour group were very funny and enjoyable to walk around with. Who wouldn’t love a good boozy bar crawl with a great amount of boos 👻?

Fun evening!

Marie_C, Dec 2025
Fun experience. Vanna was very energetic and she engaged the group. A little more history would be great, and it felt rushed at times because we were running behind. Otherwise a good time!

Don't miss this!

Felicia_C, Dec 2025
This tour was so much fun. Vanna was our hostess and she was such a vibrant interesting story teller. I learned so much from her and now I'm Charleston obsessed! It feels like every building, every corner, every tree has a story to tell. And Vanna is the gal to tell it.

Great Tour!

Wear comfotable shoes for walking. Bring lts of cash, drinks are rather pricy. Guide was a blast, very enjoyable

Megan_S, Nov 2025
We had such a great time on the Boos and Booze Tour with Blakey! She was incredibly knowledgeable, told amazing stories, and made the whole experience so much fun. It was the perfect mix of history, humor and mystery — plus we stopped at a few of my favorite Charleston bars, including Henry’s and The Blind Tiger. Such a fun experience for both tourists and locals alike!

More of a booze tour than a boo tour

Molly_M, Nov 2025
Our tour guide Vanna was very energetic and enthusiastic about the ghost and booze tour. She was also very entertaining! We were somewhat disappointed that we never went in a grave yard or cemetery, only in the parking lot or sidewalk next to them. Bring your money because you go to 3 bars and buy your own drinks.
