Jo was an amazing tour guide! She was very fun and knowledgeable and gave out “booty” to us who answered questions on the tour! The tour was great with quick stops along the way it was definitely giving spooky vibes the whole time!

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.

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!

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 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!

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.

Vana was awesome. Not only did we have great ghost stories and history but we also went to some of the coolest bars in Charleston. This was the best overall tour we have done in a long time.
