Our tour was amazing! Eric expertly wove many different pirate’s experiences into one fascinating story. He truly made history come alive, and we left wanting to learn even more! We would highly recommend to first-timers or seasoned Charleston visitors alike.

I took my grandson on the Pirate Treasure Tour last month with Sabrina. The tour was very informative for the kids and adults. My grandson had a great time and loved all of the treasure he brought home. Well worth it!

My family was in town for Thanksgiving week. Of course a tour by Eric Lavender and Sabrina Lavender was on our TODO list...this year...the GHOST TOUR. It was a nice blend of a little scary...some humor...and lots of interesting information and photos...all shared by Eric. We highly recommend any of their tours. They are Charleston's Best!

Eric is the absolute best. He is very knowledgeable and has a natural gift for storytelling. His tour was entertaining and informative. We did the Pirate ghost tour and ended up being the only 2 people on the tour, so it was a very personal experience. I will absolutely be coming back for another tour the next time I'm in Charleston. We cannot recommend this tour company and Eric enough. He made our trip so very memorable.

We took the evening pirate and ghost tour with Eric and it was was great! Tons of history, great stories and a few chills. It’s safe to say we are all terrified of boo hags now! I highly recommend the tour - lots of fun!

Eric was utterly FANTASTIC as he led us on the Pirates/Ghost Tour when I visited Charleston and Sabrina was so warm and friendly in helping me set up ticket reservations over the phone. I surely will take this tour (and all their other tours) when I next visit Charleston!
