Don't miss this! - This tour was so much fun. Vanna was our hostess and she was such a vibrant interesting story teller. I learned so much from her and now I'm Charleston obsessed! It feels like every building, every corner, every tree has a story to tell. And Vanna is the gal to tell it.

Most fun we’ve had in Charleston - Vana was awesome. Not only did we have great ghost stories and history but we also went to some of the coolest bars in Charleston. This was the best overall tour we have done in a long time.

Fun evening! - Fun experience. Vanna was very energetic and she engaged the group. A little more history would be great, and it felt rushed at times because we were running behind. Otherwise a good time!

Disappointed, not enough spooky or history - I’ve been on 10+ ghost tours across the country and had very high hopes for this one, but unfortunately it was a disappointment. For a 2.5-hour tour, we barely covered anything of substance. We never stepped foot inside a graveyard — only saw two from the outside — and didn’t really hear any specific stories tied to them. Instead, we got quick stops with instructions on how to take pictures in case we saw orbs. The walking itself wasn’t the issue (it is a walking tour), but the guide made it difficult. Vanna walked ahead of most of the group with her back to us and didn’t use any sort of speaker, so unless you were right next to her, you couldn’t hear anything. As a result, across the whole tour we heard maybe an handful of actual stories. She was very enthusiastic and friendly though. What I expect from a good ghost tour is something like “in this house, this happened,” or “buried here is someone with an interesting story.” Instead, this felt like long stretches of walking with very little information, not even enough to call it a decent historical tour. Overall, just not much of anything. I wouldn’t recommend it.

WARNING - Inappropriate physical contact. - This should be a 0 star review for the Charleston Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour. During this tour, the tour guide Jo, without consent, slapped my wife’s buttocks. We were extremely shocked at this behavior. We have wrote two emails to the company and have filed a complaint with Nightly Spirits but have not received a resolution (under investigation). This review is to warn others to NOT use this company.
