Great Ghost Tour - Brandon is an excellent tour guide. He combined the history of the city with great storytelling, making the people and events surrounding their deaths really come to life. I would highly recommend Real Hauntings of Charleston Ghost Tour.

Brandon Is An Awesome Tour Guide - We had such an awesome time on the walk! The way our friendly tour guide Brandon would tell us stories with such enthusiasm, kept us captivated, there were moments I had literally goosebumps. He cared about our safety throughout the walk and would point out dangerous spots to avoid walking to/on, we really appreciated that. We chose this tour because we wanted to walk around the historic parts of the city instead of taking a carriage and Brandon took us on various paths we wouldn't have thought to walk ourselves. Any questions we asked him he answered with an open mind and felt to us was very honest. Out of the many types of tours and companies we could of chose, we are extremely happy we chose this one for our evening. Definitely recommending this tour to friends and highly suggest for anyone to enjoy this experience like we have.

Valentine’s Day ghost tour!!! - Brandon was really knowledgeable about the history in Charleston. The way he told stories took you back to those times. My partner and I had a great time! Great Valentine’s Day activity, especially if you or your partner enjoy history and ghost stories!

Would absolutely recommend - We did an 8pm tour last night with Brandon. It ended up just being my husband and I. Thursday night at 8pm was a perfect time! It was quiet out and the right amount of spooky. Brandon was very well informed and made the entire night fun. We are both history buffs and love ghost stories. He hit the nail on the head for us. We would absolutely recommend this to our family and friends anytime :)

Memorable experience! - First off, our tour guide Brandon was amazing. Brandon is a natural and you can tell he enjoys sharing the history and stories of the lives of the people (before they were ghosts). It was one of the highlights of our trip. If you are trying to figure out activities while in Charleston, I would highly recommend. My wife and I, as well as both of our teenage sons were entertained.
