We lucked up and had a private tour with Eric and Bob. I was hoping to find a historical tour that would keep my 13 yr old son's interest. We all had a blast! Eric's knowledge of pirates and colonial history is truly impressive. We learned so many interesting facts while touring beautiful Charleston. My family was still discussing pirates after the tour...score!

We're so glad that your family had a good time! Thanks for posting.

We are really glad to have booked with yo... read more

My wife and I took or children, 14 year old daughter and 11 year old son, to this night time ghost tour. Had a ball! Tour was fun, funny, insightful, and a wee bit eerie. I would say it is kid friendly for all ages. Highly recommend!
