Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of charleston. He did as excellent job coming across kind of creepy. We loved it.
So I am a Charleston local that wanted to give his kids a little bit of Charleston history that you won't find in textbooks. My ground was a fantastic tour guide and really gave us an insight into the spooky history of Charleston, even more then I knew.
Lots of unknown interesting information given about the city of Charleston, also had the hair on my arms stand " twice" !!
Amazing tour! Historical, fun, and spooky! Me and my partner had a great time. Highly recommend it! :)
The tour was well done and gives unique and informative info on haunts and haunted places in downtown Charleston. The tour operator is very experienced and has been doing ghost tours for nearly 30 years!
Knowledgable tour guide, who told great stories and included background, history and additional photos.
Mike was super knowledgeable about Charleston history and ghost stories. He also came prepared with water, bug spray and rain ponchos when it started storming. The thunderstorm made for a great background with the thunder and lightening for his ghost stories!
Our guide was a great story teller. The stories were spooky but nothing the 10 year old in our group couldn't handle. Would recommend 10/10

This is an informative and fun ghost tour. Mike has done a lot of research about sightings in the area. He’s passionate about it and it shows. He has some amazing stories that keep your attention the entire tour. He’s a very polished guide and makes the tour fun. We really enjoyed it.
The tour was really great! Kids 12 and 15 enjoyed it as well as myself and my husband. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
Mike Brown is an excellent storyteller. This is not a scary ghost tour, way more educational. The walk is not hard. Excellent for 18 and above as younger folks may want to move around more. If you like to learn history behind the ghost tales - he is your guy!
Mike was very knowledgeable about Charleston and shared great stories with us. He even had pictures to go along with the stories and places we visited. I love the history that goes along with ghost tours.
Good option to learn some Charleston history along with the ghost stories. Tour guide was great, very knowledgeable.
Guide was very knowledgeable, and even came with bug spray. He had pictures from around Charleston and shared personal experiences.
The tour way great and our guide was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and wasn’t afraid of our silly questions.
Excellent experience! Such a great understanding of Charleston's ghost lore and wonderful storytelling. Going at night makes it all the more interesting.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He has been doing ghost tours for over 20 yrs so he knew what he was doing.
Mike was great ! I loved that he did is own research it added to the experience . I highly recommend touring with him .
Tour operator was nice and prompt. Brought water and bug spray for us. Very knowledgeable about local hauntings. Good for our family 2 kids 8 and 10.
Our family enjoyed the ghost tour! Mike was very knowledgeable and engaging. It was also great to see parts of the city we had never been. Definitely a fun thing to do!
Mike was an awesome tour guide. His knowledge of the stories based on his own research and experience over 30 years along with his story-telling abilities made this a very "pleasing" experience. We are from Chicago and Mike even threw in a quick story about two dangerous lions that the movie "The Ghost and the Darkness" was based on, snd that their reconstructed bodies were on display at the Chicago Field Museum. Highly recommend this tour!
Mike was great! Very informative and great storyteller! Definitely would recommend this tour! Excellent
It was wonderful from the moment we walked up to the group Mike greeted us and offered us waters. He was very knowledgeable and kept the group moving and informed. He even answered far more than our share of questions as he helped us in the direction of our car.
