History, Haunts and Afterlives! - Afterlife Tours exceeded our expectations in every way! Our group of 12 was fortunate enough to receive a private tour from Ryan, the owner, and it was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we started, it was clear that this tour was the real deal—professional, authentic, and deeply engaging. Ryan's passion and knowledge of history were evident throughout the tour. He shared fascinating insights about how they meticulously cross-reference historical facts to ensure the most accurate and truthful account of events. His dedication to research, including work with the historical society, made the experience feel both credible and compelling—nothing was embellished or exaggerated. The tour itself was a perfect mix of eerie and entertaining. We found ourselves laughing, getting creeped out, and by the end, feeling like we had made a new friend in Ryan. We also appreciated that the tour was age-appropriate, making it suitable for everyone in our group. What really set this tour apart were the extra stories Ryan shared with us. His experience with ghost investigations across the country, his appearances on the A&E Channel, and his work with his own paranormal research company added a unique and thrilling dimension to the tour. If you’re looking for an authentic, well-researched, and thoroughly enjoyable tour, Afterlife Tours is a must. Highly recommended!

Telling all my future visitors - The tour was great. Best thing about it for me was learning about the history in connection with the haunting tales of the city. I have been living in this city for 5 years and learned so much more from this tour than any other tour or random story from natives. I will be telling any friends and family that visit to book this when they come.

Scary Spooky Tour! - What a spoooky tour! The Concierge team at Hotel Bennett had the pleasure of taking a tour with Crystal, and had goosebumps after. The tour guide was an excellent story teller and knew a lot about the history behind Charleston. It was very interactive and kept us enjoyed the whole tour. We really loved the touch of the ghost recording device where we got to hear ghosts speak during the stories being told, it added another element of scary! We will definitely recommend this tour to our guests.

Great experience - Crystal was great! She was very knowledgeable and fun to be on a tour with. We were lucky enough to have just the 4 of us on the tour. Really cool experience. Other tours we passed looked way too crowded. Thank you for a great ghost tour!!!

Best paranormal experience - I have had the pleasure of going with Ryan on his Savannah tours so I was very excited to see that he is now doing Charleston! I loved the experience… his tours are well researched and thoroughly documented’ No tourist hype here just factual stories, excellent historical background weaved in with local folklore…these factors make this paranormal experience even more exciting! Can’t wait to take my friends on the next one! Thanks Ryan well done!

Fun and informative ghost walk - We had such a wonderful time while on this tour just as we have had on the other tours that this company offers in Savannah, GA. and St. Augustine, FL. The owners do a lot of research on the locations that are on their tours and share those findings during the tour. Listening to the tales while strolling along the historic cobblestone paths really is a great melding of the past and present. This tour will leave a fun and lasting impression for years to come!
