Additional Information

Many Charleston Ghost Tours have big groups of 25+ - NOT HERE!! We limit our tour sizes to about 12 to keep them fun! Charleston is one of the most charming and colorful cities in the world; however, when the light fades and shadows grow long, a darker side of the Holy City emerges. Over the course of just over 1 mile long, our 90 min walk will pass…

Best tour guide I ever had - Our tour guide was fantastic! Went into intense details about all the places we went. Most of the stuff we talked about I have never heard of so I leaned a ton!

CHS Ghost Tour: historically accurate & entertaining! - Brandon has both the breadth and depth of historical knowledge needed to do a stellar job on my tour, but he took it a step farther to meet the requirements for becoming officially licensed. In my book, that speaks volumes about the quality of his work (and it's one the reasons I chose him and his tour). On the tour, Brandon guided us on a leisurely 1.5 hour walk through Charleston history and told us stories about past residents whose spirits persist due to untimely deaths and unfinished business. You can really tell he loves (and lives) his job, and you can fact check--he's right on the money. I highly recommend seeking Brandon's services if you're ever in Charleston. You're in for great time and you'll leave having been entertained, informed, and wishing the tour could have gone on longer.

Easy walk with real stories and a guide who draws you in with his storytelling skills. - Brandon was the perfect tour guide. He was great at drawing all of us in to the point where even brushes from a plant had us all looking over our shoulder twice. The stories were all true and really had us all enthralled the entire time. The small group was great and the walks were easy from place to place. Despite being in the middle of the city, it was easy to get lost in the tour stories. Brandon was so great that he was even recommending nearby restaurants and local places for us all to check out while also pointing those of us with plans after in the right direction. Would highly recommend this tour and Brandon as a guide specifically to any and all visiting Charleston.

A visit to another rehelm. - Very knowledgeable, good storytelling, and kind of spooky....especially the parts where the EM meters went into the yellow or red when certain ghost's names were mentioned.

Great story teller - Brandon was our guide and he did an excellent job! His story telling was on point and did a great job keeping our attention and making the history of Charleston exciting. He even gave us a call to make sure we were still coming to the tour as we were running a little late trying to find parking. Definitely would recommend this tour!!

Fantastic outing! - This was so much fun! Our guide, Brandon, was fantastic! We loved it so much that we went to all of the stops the next morning to take a look around in the daylight and talk more about the history and the stories. And this was with 18, 22 and 23 year olds! I think that says a great deal about Brandon’s storytelling and guide skills. We went at 8pm which was perfect. Afterward, Brandon suggested an amazing dessert spot. Highly recommend!!
