Jake was a great tour guide! Was very knowledgeable about the history and the ghost stories. The graveyard had a lot of history and was cool to walk through at night!

Liz was wonderful. I would do the tour again! I learned a lot and even in the rain we had the most amazing time. The architecture was also beautiful!

My husband and I had such a wonderful time!! The guide was so knowledgeable on the ghost history of Charleston and was an excellent story teller. At one point we saw cat eyes in the bushes and my heart skipped a beat. LOL It was awesome!!

Liz was a great tour guide. I enjoyed her flair and spunky attitude. I wish I had a memory like hers. Her native roots show through her passion.
