No need to look further . This is the best Ghost tour - One of the Absolute best ghost tours ever. We go on a ghost tour in every city we visit and Adam is extremely high if not holding the top spot on our list. He caters to his crowd. He is extremely knowledgeable and does not make things up. He tries to tell history over fiction. The history does not need embellishments to be super creepy. He was fun, informative, entertaining. Made us feel very comfortable. Highlight of our vacation. I wound recommend you don't even think about booking any other ghost tour but this one!!! Thank you Adam. We will be buying some sage when we get home.:)

Great Night on Ghost tour! - Loved this tour! Adam was very pleasant and knowledgeable about Charleston’s history and facts surrounding each haunting! There were 6 of us in the group, all family including my 78 yr old mom. I really liked that he spoke directly to and interacted with her, as well as the rest of us. He also slowed the pace for her as well. This made my heart happy! He listened attentively to all our questions and comments! This was a great outing for our family! We really enjoyed it! Had a great time! If ever back in Charleston will definitely do another tour with Adam!

Adam Makes the City of the Dead Come Alive with his Masterful Storytelling; An Absolute Must When Visiting Charleston!! - Our family has been on ghost tours in Salem & Boston,MA, Portsmouth, NH, & Providence, RI and this was at the top of the list. It was our group of 6 and one other family of 3; perfect! We could hear everything that Adam said. At the beginning of the tour he asked us what our interests were and he geared the tour based on what we told him. One of my daughters finds these types of tours boring, especially the historical info, but not this time. She paid attention and truly enjoyed Adam's stories. He is extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history, able to tell captivating and frightening stories about every street, building and alley in Chareston.

Smaller groups are better!!! - My husband and I went on July 6th at 7:30 and there was only one other couple with us. The weather was perfect and we truly enjoyed the smaller crowd. Adam was our guide for the evening and we totally loved his way of storytelling and energy. He also had some tourist shared photos that he also shared with us on their experiences. Next time we come back we will definitely book with him specifically for our tourism needs. He is highly knowledgeable and definitely doesn’t have a scripted feel. It feels authentic and he really made our experience OUR EXPERIENCE. Highly recommend!

Brought Scary Stories to Life - Adam was a great storyteller. Dove deep into not only the haunted spots but the city’s history that led to those hauntings. May steer clear os Queen St now lol
