I was in Charleston for a few days in March for my sister's bachelorette trip, and the main thing I wanted to do was a ghost tour. I booked this mainly for thr adults only caveat,and boy did we have a great time! Lance was completely charming and engaging to begin with and had such a great sense of humor and a wealth of knowledge about each stop. I'd absolutely recommend his tour to anyone interested in the gritty history!
