Cindy_B, Aug 2026
Not very interesting, our tour guide was kind of strange and we didn’t hear much about ghost and it was very hot out

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi Cindy, we are sorry that you did not enjoy your tour. Obviously, we cannot control the weather and would fully expect any partial outdoor activity in August to be hot, but we can control our ghost content and would like to figure out what tour you were on. We do not see your name on any recent bookings, so we would appreciate it if you could reach out directly at info@nightlyspirits.com with some more information and your tour date so that we can use this feedback constructively.

A great time

Erica_D, Aug 2026
Kelly had a lot of great ghost stories as well as she was very funny and made sure everyone had a great time. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who is up for a good time, some laughs, and cold drinks.

such a fun way to learn some spooky history, Jo did an awesome job, we had a blast. 100% would do it again

Awesome ghost adventure

Brenda_A, Jul 2026
Amy is a wonderfully informative fun guide We had a great time with breaks in between walking which gave a much appreciated break from the heat and humidity of the evening Her stories were very entertaining

Booze and boos

Kelly was awesome and very personable. Would recommend, we learned so much and had an awesome time! The tour was very detailed and even came with photos of ghosts around Charleston!

Very disappointed

DeLynn_T, Jul 2026
I was very disappointed in this tour. It basically brings you to a bar to drink and the tour guide tells a ghost story that was uninteresting. The tour guide was not funny as indicated in the description and it seemed as though she didn't want to be there and just wanted to get through the night.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi DeLynn, We are sorry that you did not enjoy your tour, and we are very surprised to hear this feedback about one of our top-reviewed guides. We would appreciate it if you could reach out to us directly at info@nightlyspirits.com with additional details so that we can use this feedback constructively.

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.

Christina_G, May 2026
We did the tour in Charleston, for my bachelorette and when I say, so fun! What a great time. Our tour guide Blakely, was so lovely, kind, so knowledgeable of the cities history. We absolutely adored her! Thank you, so much for an amazing night!

Fun!

Nicole_M, May 2026
We had a great time! Blaikley was a lot of fun. Good stories about the spooky history of Charleston.

Awesome time seeing Charleston

Jo was a fun and spirited tour guide on the Boos & Booze tour. She made the stories interesting and her snarky wit made us laugh. Highly recommend her!!!

Daniel_H, Apr 2026
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
Jo was a great pirate tour guide, Entertaining and informative. A perfect way to spend the evening bar crawling in Charleston

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!
