Ghosts of Charleston Night-Time Walking Tour with Unitarian Church Graveyard

Graveyard visit and story was the highlight. Would be even better if we could be at the locations in some stories. Additional short stories, if possible, would also make the tour even more enjoyable.

The way I was brought up, if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. Sooooo…….. THE END!!!!

I have been on a lot of ghost tours but this was just ok. It ran waaaay long and was a little theatrical, but some interesting facts and stories along the way.

Great fun tour. Guide told interesting stories and told them well. Graveyard was really cool to visit at night. Definitely recommend

Rhett was a wonderful guide. He was and enthusiastic story teller who kept our attention the whole time. Being able to go into the graveyard at night was a huge bonus. My friends and I would absolutely go on another tour and request Rhett as our guide!

Joe put heart, body, and soul into this very entertaining tour. I learned a lot about Charleston’s history and ghosts!

We arrived at Buxton Books at 9:15 and checked in for our 9:30 tour. Our name was called and we set out, but another couple joined the tour saying they were suppose to be in our group and we had to go back and wait?? Apparently there were two tours happening at the same time. Our tour guide, Simon was late showing up, but only about 15 minutes. This guy could lay it on thick. He has done this many times before and knew exactly what he was going to say before he said it. I believe he could walk this tour blindfolded and would still know exactly where he was. He knew a lot of historical facts about the area and ghosts. He had oodles of stories and legends about the city. He had pictures on his phone of when some of his groups had seen ghosts. The only drawback was—- nearing the “end” of the tour (I say the “end” because the tour went 30 minutes over) we were in the Unitarian Graveyard and Simon kept repeating himself over and over. We were so ready to go, but didn’t want to be rude. Overall, a great experience. Tips: WEAR WALKING SHOES!! So many ladies were wearing heels, I know their feet were dying based on how they were walking. Tip #2 LADIES DONT WEAR A SHORT DRESS. Especially if you don’t know how to sit down like a lady while wearing one. There were a few times we were able to sit down and rest (sitting on the ground or a step) and I didn’t enjoy seeing your underwear or lack thereof. Tip #3 TAKE SOMETHING TO DRINK, BUT PEE BEFORE YOU GO. There’s no bathroom or snack breaks.

Mr. Neil was a great story teller and wonderful guide. It was a perfect night to take a ghost walk. Going into the cemetery was an added bonus.

Should have a golf cart. Cheesy tour guide. Not scary. Would have preferred a carriage ride. Not a great description on line.

If you’re looking for more of a history tour than a ghost tour, then this is the tour for you. Our guide seemed to be a theatre major as he acted out the few mentions of ghosts, but it was very over the top and a bit too much which was a turn off for most of the group. At one point he acted out a scene and was snarling in my husbands face…without a mask…during covid which may not be a big deal to some, but we deemed it inconsiderate. We ended up bailing on the tour 2/3 the way in and grabbed dessert.
