My Florida family came for a visit & were so excited to do a pirate tour. Impressing two 17 year olds & a 23 year old niece's. Pirate Eric did a great job keeping everyone entertained with pirate tales. He posed for pictures with all the girls after the tour too. Pirate Eric is not slow of foot so he would pause & let his group gather together often. Can't wait to do the ghost tour next time. 

Business response:

Glad you enjoyed the tour! Thank you for the kind words. Look forward to seeing you in the future on the ghost tour.

Our family took the ghost/pirate tour. It was excellent!!! Sabrina is a natural story teller. All four of us loved it (even our 6 year old and 9 year old). I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Charleston!

My family went on Eric’s tour on March 11th and it was absolutely wonderful! We had been on a few tours prior to this one and this tour was by far the most informative and fun! I will recommend you to everyone I know! You could tell that it wasn’t just a rehearsed bunch of jargon and that Eric had a real passion for everything he was talking about. We will definitely do this again next time we’re in Charleston! 

Business response:

Thanks so much for posting! We're glad that you enjoyed the tour. Hope to see you on your next Charleston visit :)

We took the pirate tavern tour with Mike and it was an AWESOME experience. He was thorough and showed us the best and coolest parts of Charleston's history with a focus on the pirate lore. The tour was billed as 2.5-3 hours; Mike stayed out with us from 6:30 to 12! He knew the history very well and also knew a lot about local brews. A great tour, great value for the money, THANK YOU MIKE!
