We were expecting our “Dark Side” tour to feature stories of crime, corruption, plagues, bordellos, gangsters, moonshine, illegal gambling, etc, much like other similar tours in other cities. Instead it was mostly a vulgarity-laced sex narrative. We bailed early and got a refund (to their credit, they issued the refund without objection). I give two stars instead of one because they encouraged people who were uncomfortable to go get a refund, and we did.

Our tour guide Ben was super awesome! He was knowledgeable and I'm very funny. He kept a really good pace. You definitely find out the dark side of Charleston and a lot of their leaders were not great people.

Randy was awesome! We learned so much! The tour was also a great way to see Charleston at night. We definitely recommend.

This had the potential to be really interesting based on other reviews and the description. While Braxton had some really great stories to tell he seemed to be trying too hard - my husband and are not strangers to "mature" topics or language, but Braxton seemed to just really go for the shock value of saying certain things which was really just a distraction because the stories are interesting and shocking on their own! Unfortunately, all of his stories were only focused on brothels and no other types of "darkness" like prohibition, etc. The concept is awesome - just needs a little work!

I would like to recommend the tour but I didn’t get to experience it. I thought that I had signed up for a 10 pm tour. But I missed the call saying they were departing on the 8 pm tour. I asked them if I could switch to the 10 pm and they said it was cancelled. I am asking if I can get a refund because Wednesday was the only evening we were available.

This is a fabulous tour. Getting to see the 'darker side' of Charleston with a great storyteller in Jack Kelly. He kept our group entertained and we learned so much that we are curious about exploring these stories even more! Highly recommended since it's fascinating and lasts 90 minutes which is just perfect. Not the usual and that's what made it so wonderful!

Dave was an excellent storyteller! I learned a lot.I don’t know why people are so hung up on ghosts when the actual history is so fascinating.

Tour with Jack Kelly in March 2024 - awesome tour guide, fun, interesting storyteller with a great sense of humor!

Denise_R

Want a tour about murderers/gangsters. Then this is not your tour. The only stories told were about prostitutes. The tour guide was great but not a variety of crime stories. Only prostitutes and brothels.

robert_c

The talk about the prostitutes, and the dueling were very interesting and contains a lot of facts. We were not aware of. It was very well done.
