Tucker leads the Ghostly Way - Our tour guide was entertaining and accommodating! We also love Tucker the horse! We love that all the horses are treated humanely by giving breaks and taking them to Johns Island 🐴

Hot temps, amazing tour - We took the 3pm tour when the temperature was in the upper 90s because we booked last minute - but this turned out to be one of our favorite bookings!! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Charleston and historic sites. Not only that, he had fascinating and in-depth historical knowledge. His personal perspective of being from Charleston for many generations was also interesting. He made sure we stopped several times and were standing in the shade to help those that were not used to the heat. So glad we did this tour, it was worth every penny! Highly recommend- 10 out of 10.

Coach Duggar: great tour guide. - Duggar was a fantastic tier guide. His college coaching career comes through when we finished exactly two hours after starting, in spite of several stops and questions being answered. Well worth the investment. Only downside was a heat wave the weekend we were then drove heat index over 100.

Behind the Scenes - Fascinating! Charleston's old town has nooks and crannies that invite exploration and Dugger our guide made it all happen. The city even has a series of houses painted in different colors, like San Francisco, but they aren't the "Painted Ladies", take the tour to learn their names.
