This was a fun, fast-paced walking tour through a section of the historic district. Our tour guide was a professional story teller, and it was interesting learning a bit of the local ghost lore. More

Took the kids, they had fun. I have had better tour in Charleston but this one isnt bad at all. Got tickets at Black Cat and it was a neat tour. More

Didn't see any ghosts on my tour but I am just fine with that. Tour guide was informative and had a great story or histortorical fact for every site we visited. All in all it was a worth while tour. More

We took the free tour and it was ok, they just seemed to want to hold back on the stories and made a big deal about how many stories we didn't hear and that we should come back and pay to hear the rest. Not sure I'd recommend them but I liked the guide. More

This walk is boring and the tour guide was bad too. She tried so hard to be serious, theatrical, and dramatic that the whole experience was downright awkward. We had maybe 10 people or so in our group and there was no feeling of excitement at any point during the tour. We made maybe 4-5 stops along darkened streets and... More

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. We learned a lot about colonial history of wilmington and saw beautiful houses on old cobblestone streets. Enjoyed the ghost stories-not terribly scary but that was fine with us. More

Wilmington is supposed to be one of the most haunted places in the South, and has so many interesting ghost stories and historical aspects to be shared. Sadly, our tour guide was excruciatingly boring, didn't know how to relay intertwined details, was INCREDIBLY long winded - and unfortunately, shouldn't have been running a walking tour, because every time we walked,...

I did this for my birthday with my family, and it was so much fun. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and make the experience very memorable. The pictures that I took turned out wonderfully, and I hope to take another tour very soon. The tour guide said that when we take another tour, to let them know which one... More
