A performance fit for a stage! - Darion is an engaging and animated storyteller. I loved her enthusiasm and timing and wit - she belongs on a stage! The stories were fantastic too - not too gruesome, full of history and wild characters. I’ve taken a few ghost tours here and she told my favorite story about Anna and Perry - perfection!

Fun - My teenage son and I really worked as a team and completed this! Great bonding/ family time. Only issue is the 8 1/2 is slave quarters. Anytime you see a 1/2 number in a home, that’s what it means. The app guide said they don’t know why 1/2 numbers were added to homes. Small brick homes near the main house were slaves quarters

Step back in time with Charleston tour - We ended up taking our tour at night and had a great time! Only thing we didn’t understand was the back story that would run after the clue- started kind of into the story already, then just stopped and there was no ending. But great little tidbits of knowledge- lots of fun.

Walking tour fun! - We enjoyed the flexibility of the walking tour and not being on a time table. The app we used was user friendly and very informative. Would highly recommend but please note-we went in June and it was super hot. And you will walk close to 3 miles.

Clever way to explore history - We definitely saw places we would not have otherwise discovered like the alley with the artsy gates and the 81/2 house. I’m glad we did it. The story was okay, but didn’t add much to the experience. The GPS was helpful. The hardest thing about it was the content was difficult to read as it was small, dark colored font. It was a sunny day. If I could have enlarged the font or lightened it, it would have been more enjoyable.

Tech Glitches - The story was blank for half of the stops. It also took forever to download the app and enter in the reference code as the link after purchasing did not work.

Problem with Viator payment - The tour itself was fine. I had a problem paying through Viator app, though. Once I had paid, I couldn’t use my reference number to join the tour. I ended up having to pay for the tour again online through the Questo app.

We were not able to get... - We were not able to get the second person’s portion of the game to work. Then, after we did the initial stop (with me narrating to my partner 🙄), we couldn’t get the narrative to continue. Total waste of time and money.
