I booked the daytime ghost tour as a surprise for my kids. What a great experience. All of us had a blast. The kids are still talking about the boo hag! Very cool way to experience Charleston. Definitely a one of a kind tour. Sabrina was fantastic and we all enjoyed the tour immensely. Worth every penny! 

Business response:

Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you and the family enjoyed the tour.

I brought a four different groups of my employees out on the Charleston Pirate Tours, and I have to say our experience was incredible! Sabrina was extremely easy to work with and worked around our schedule for booking and Eric (our guide) was absolutely the best! The prices are more than reasonable and the experience was not only informative, but an absolute BLAST! This would be a great experience for any group, small or large! My staff won’t stop talking about it! They have my highest recommendation! 

Business response:

Thank you so much for the kind words! Eric had a great time with all of your staff, and we're thrilled to hear everyone enjoyed the tours.

My husband and I are history nerds, and this was probably the highlight of our trip! We were so enthralled by Eric's storytelling that we could have gone on another hour easily. Very entertaining & informative.

I highly recommend touring Charleston with this lovely duo! Whether you're adults or have children. They're the sweetest couple who will keep you laughing while they provide you with knowledge and a memorable tour of the area. They planned a few months in advance with my mom and now fiancé about helping him propose and it's a memory will we have for a lifetime that I can never thank y'all enough for! ❤️ 

Business response:

Thank you so much for posting. We were absolutely thrilled to help with the surprise! Eric was so nervous about something going wrong because it's not like we could get a do-over for a surprise proposal! Don't forget to send us a wedding picture :)

We loved the tour! The parrot was great and our pirate was even better! Macey had a fabulous time and I would recommend it for kids any day!!!! 

Business response:

I'm so glad that Macey had fun on the children's tour! Thanks for posting. If you visit Charleston again in the future when she's a little older, try the daytime pirate tour or evening pirate & ghost tour.
