Pleasantly surprised - We live in Charleston when friends come to visit they all want to do walking ghost tours. I dreaded going because they all seemed to be the same canned talking points. This one was a pleasant surprise guide was a life long Charleston area native and very passionate about the history of this city we love. He has done deep dive research and was engaging with a great sense of humor. He has been doing tours and research for over 30 years. Has a series of pod cast that I look forward to listening to on my daily walks.

Fantastic guide! - Guide is an excellent story teller, I have been on many ghost tours and the tour experience is completely dependent on the guide. This one is among, if not the best, storyteller I have encountered. He’s also sneaky funny with a dry sense of humor!
