Michael was a great guide! The tour was fun and not too much of a walk for our 6 year old. Learning the history was fun.

Tour guide was very...

Leah_C, Aug 2026
Tour guide was very sensitive to the fact that there were multiple younger kids. It was a good tour but we were disappointed that we didn't get to go inside any graveyards. We've done a tour before and they took us in the Circular Church graveyard. He mentioned about it not being allowed but there was a different group out and our guide didn't notice but this group went in through one of the front gates. I guess you have to have special entrance. Not sure. Anyway, overall it was a good time. There were bad thunderstorms around but they stayed on the edge of the city and we just got sprinkled on and that was it. Was so glad because we didn't have another night there. We liked this tour as it was infiltrated with historical facts as well.

very fun and interesting...

very fun and interesting and spooky Ashley was a very fun tour guide and told lots about the history which was very interesting

A charming, ghostly experience! A++ Rating

Jesse_W, Jun 2026
We truly enjoyed this ghost tour in Charleston,. We went to many sites and heard lots of interesting stories. Our guide was a descendent of one of the wealthiest families and they immigrated over in the mid 1600s. It was great to hear her perspective and one of her family stories. She was super sweet and went above and beyond to answer our questions and even kept our tour running a little bit longer so she could explain even more. Thank you for a memorable evening!

Outstanding

Kaylin_A, Apr 2026
Great experience! Our guide Micheal was amazing and even went over on time because we were having such a great time!

Can I get a partial refund?

John_A, Feb 2026
Guide not friendly and got mad at a 16 year old for not being totally amazed by his presentation. Argued with a 12 year old because she asked a clarifying question. We have done many CHS ghost tours and this one was the worst. Please consider a partial refund at least.

Fun!!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for the great review! We’re so happy to hear Michael made the tour fun and manageable for your family — especially your 6-year-old. It’s wonderful to know everyone enjoyed learning the history together. We hope to see you again on another Ghost City Tours adventure! 👻✨

Fun Haunted Historical Tour

Adrienne_E, Dec 2025
This particular tour is family friendly so some of the details will be sanitized for young ears. There are some good historical highlights around the city included however.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Excellent guide and storyteller with good photos of sightings from prior customers. Interesting sites and stories, with some beautiful buildings along the way. Didn't see any ghosts but will examine our pictures later. Very safe.

Cool experience!

Benjamin_L, May 2025
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the stories that went with each of our tour stops. The highlight of the tour was the fact he had pictures that folks had sent him from previous tours that supported the stories. Highly recommend! And a great tour for the price!

So interesting!

Cancelled at the last minute - they are very non apologetic

Paula_L, Feb 2025
At 6pm I received a confirmation email reminding me of the tour and the meeting location. So I thought the tour was on. We drove to that part of town, parked, walked several blocks, and found a cafe nearby to wait in. While sitting in the Cafe I started checking messages on my phone. At 6:15pm they left me a message that it was cancelled because we were the only two that signed up and they meed 3. I called the number left in the message. The person who answered was not apologetic at all. Her attitude was well we have to have 3, too bad. I inquired as to why did they send an email at 6pm and then cancel at 6:15pm. Her response was "we have no control over that". I asked why did you not cancel the day before so then we could have found something else to do tonight. Well they cannot do that as there would be no tour for people who sign up last minute. Even if they would have cancelled earlier in the day that would have been fine. We would have had time to find something else to do that evening. The person who took my call tried to offer me everything except a refund, and offered a refund only when the other options she presented would not work. I will not book with this company again.

Response from Host, Mar 2025
