Whistling Doctor of Blood Alley - Adam was a fantastic Guide. Our favorite part was "Bloody Alley." Our group of 9 ranged in ages from 8 to 58. The tour was good for all ages. Our favorite part was the story about Bloody Alley and the Whistling Doctor that was shot in there and how he haunted the alley to this day by rustling the bushes and whistling as he walked up and down it. At the end of the tour, which was in Bloody Alley, Adam told us that there were two ways to leave, of course we took the way that he told us not to go for various reasons. As we were walking do the alley the bushes rustled and we heard a faint whistle and we were the only ones there.
Was it the Ghost of the WHISTLING DOCTOR, or just all 9 of our imaginations, who knows???

You should do it - We had a great time. Adam is personable and fun. He had a great working knowledge of the history of Charleston and how it pertains to ghost stories. We loved hearing about history through the lense of the paranormal. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Wrap your visit with this tour - My teenage daughter liked it very much. Adam has a nice way of building up the story and narrating it with a sharp ending and move on while folks are digesting it.
It is also good that we ended our Charleston visit with this tour as we already got familiar with some historic events by then and could connect them.

Wanderers - It would have been nice to be taken back to the point of departure for us out of towners. We were left in an unfamiliar part of town.

Boring don’t waste your money! - Adam told us a little history and a few ghost. Stories but we skipped several good stories due to other tour groups being in the area! That I feel is not good for the participants as we missed out ! I am from the area and brought my 13 yr old daughter who is not from the area and she was bored! She learned more from history class! He did not show much enthusiasm when telling the stories! I would not recommend this tour as I feel it was a waste of money! Also we had a family emergency for one of our guest and we did not even get an offer for a refund or even partial refund! Father was taken to hospital!
