When it says see you there, pause it or it will keep going . Ear buds share. Speaker was fine but traffic noise got bad at times.

Wonderful way to explore without absorbing the energy of others. I wanted to do a ghost tour of Charleston but I am a bit if an empath, so being around other people restricts my experience. This was a great way to explore without worry. Please do a tour of Abingdon, VA, as it is one of the oldest and most haunted places.
The tour guide was entertaining and informative. The pace was a bit fast so we paused between some locations and stories. Would use the service again especially liked the price.
False advertising, audio recording you listen to while walking a short mile on the sidewalks. There are plaques highlighting the history and path already, waste of money!!
We loved the walking tour! We’re not big on loud crowds and this was perfect for us. Learned a lot and really enjoyed the commentary. 10/10 🏴☠️
I believe that the experience was really nice. And helped us to understand the stories better. We attended the haunted carriage ghost tours on Saturday night. And this self guided tour was much better than the carriage ride. You could feel the experience. It was well worth the money spent. And the length of the tour was really good also.
My husband and I did this walking tour and had the best time! The directions were perfect, be sure to pause it when the narrator says, “I’ll meet you there.” Then play it once you arrive at the location that way you don’t miss a thing. Honestly better than we expected. Well worth the money!
After a few technical difficulties (mine!) which the tour operator promptly helped with, we began the tour. Really great narration and easy to follow directions. The stories were entertaining and we loved being able to go at our own pace. Well done and we’d absolutely recommend!
🔥af definitely recommend this spot for visitors who loves local history best experience hands down!
This is a great way to experience Downtown Charleston! The app is really easy to use and reliable. I like the freedom of using an app as opposed to following a tour guide and it’s much more economical. The only thing I would change is to have the tour end near where it starts.
Really easy to use. You can do it at your own pace and during the day if you like! Easy to find all of the haunts.
Take a flashlight to peek into the cemetery if going at night. So much history! Blind tiger was a bit pricey but worth it.
We were reluctant to try this, but the weather was unpredictable so we gave it a shot. Really glad we did. We went at our own pace, the narration was good, and no one else could ruin it for us. All and all an excellent deal for the money.
The app was easy to use and we liked being able to go whenever we wanted. The stories were not scary but were interesting enough.
Enjoyed the solo tour! Did not see anything, but still had a great time! I would definitely do this tour again!
This self guided ghost tour was very informative and was a great couple outing. What we loved about the tour is we didn’t feel rushed and moved at our own pace. I highly recommend suggest bringing ear buds with you because street traffic was loud and we did have to rewind some parts of the tour. Only negative we had with the tour is I didn’t bring you back to the starting point, but it was not a deal breaker. We would definitely recommend doing this self guided tour.
Download instructions difficult to find. Enjoyed English piratey narrator and ongoing sound effects. Most of the stories were less engaging than in person ghost walks I have previously been on in Charleston. However, this was very budget friendly and we'll worth the low cost.
We had so much fun and enjoyed being able to go at our own pace. We even caught some ghosts using our own detectors. Highly recommend!
So much better than going with another group who might not go at the pace you prefer. Narrator was great; better than getting one that’s trying to be too funny or annoying. Our group was able to sync easily with each other and pause together when we wanted to. Well done!
Super easy to use the app! Very informative tour! We wanted to do a ghost tour but really didn’t want to wait until it got dark since the sunset so late in July. So this was a perfect compromise.
The tour itself was good but the end is not close to the start. There was quite a bit of walking in order to get back to where we started. Not good if doing it with older people.
This was the perfect option for a ghost tour of Charleston! You have the flexibility to do it when it works for you - we actually had drinks and dinner first and then started the tour around 10pm. It was rather spooky, dark out, a bit of fog in the air, no breezy, very eerie! We loved it! If you miss something you can back track, you can skip ahead if you need to, pause it to take photos. Overall a great experience! LOVED IT!
We loved being able to do the Ghost Tour at our own pace. Another plus we hadn’t anticipated was being able to go back in the track if we missed something due to traffic or other city noises.
Great very affordable group activity! Would highly recommend! Take a small speaker if you have a group, makes listening together so much more fun!
The tour guide and the sound effects were awesome. The value was incredible. All our group had a great experience. Will be doing this service again. Thanks
Confused at first about the log on but after it was perfect! Would recommend highly to use this , we had a small dog too and didn’t want to be there late for tour and drive to our hotel
We had fun on our solo tour. The kids did get bored half way through, but we loved hearing about the spooky ghost stories.
My wife and 3 kids (ages 9,13,15) really enjoyed the phone guided tour. It was simple to set up and fun to listen to the spooky stories. A big plus for us was it's flexibility. I would probably do a personal guided tour the next time. Still..would recommend
The tour was a great way to see the old parts of Charleston. We loved going at our own pace & hearing the stories while taking in the sites!
Sara did a great job! She was very informative and did a great job presenting, funny, scary and entertaining
So fun!! We chose this over a traditional tour and it was well worth it! Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a no pressure walking tour
Absolutely amazing tour! Highly recommend. So much fun and super creepy! Definitely a must on your trip to Charleston.
Learning the history of Charleston. Seeing all the great architecture around the city. Eating fresh seafood by the water.
We enjoyed it. The voice and sound effects were great. My son is 15 and he was actually on edge from the way the storytelling was portrayed. We were even entertained between spots because of the sound effects and some extra historical facts. We did not take photos because it was night time and it was really busy so there were lots of groups around.
We selected this tour for flexibility since we were driving through town for one night without a firm ETA. It definitely met our needs. It was fun to enjoy a nice dinner out and then go late to add to the haunted ambiance. The sound quality was excellent and the GPS tracker highly accurate. We plan to seek out similar tours in other cities -- great value.
loved it! very easy to navigate and had some amazing stories! the heat was a big contributor but that’s nothing the tour can control!
I would give this a 5 star review but there is not real directions for getting back and you are left in a not so great part of the city at the end of the tour. But great narration and super concept
We loved doing the ghost tour at our own pace and liked how the narrator kept track of our location on the map
Loved the freedom to start and stop this tour. We actually paused it and ate dinner at a cool place we were passing by then continued on. We enjoyed being able to put on ear buds and see the city rather than being in the back of a 20+ person tour where we couldn’t hear or see. It was cost-effective, and we could listen again, and do the tour as many times as we liked. To contrast, We also did a carriage tour (which was nice) but walking is where it’s at!
It was a very comprehensive walk around the historic district. Easy app to use and I will definitely download WalknTours for future tours. But the freaky bit was in the end. I took this pic if my husband in front of the old jail and those green orbs showed up in it. Even the dog is looking at them. I didn’t see them but the camera picked it up
I waited to upload the tour cuz I was nervous about finding it again and found out I should have had earbuds. I didn't have them with me. But, turned out I couldn't use anyway as my partners phone had died so we had to share the phone. The sound effects were fun but there were several guided tours going on at the same sites and they appeared irritated with me playing it out loud even though I couldn't help it. I m glad it worked cuz I learned a lot and it was so fun! Would have been nice to have directions given to get back to our car...that was interesting....lol!
Adventures are what you make of them! This was a great walking tour and we had a great time until it was finished at the City Jail and then just stopped- no information on how to get back to your car- so just make sure you know how to get back or you will have to stay with the ghosts at the Jail!! It did say to post a picture if you caught an orb- so that was cool that I did get one. We actually were walking next to 3 other tour groups so you definitely don’t miss any of the haunted tours or their price tags!!
If you can, try to do this on a weeknight, or at least a night where others won't be out as much because the quieter it is, the better you can hear and the creepier it is! Be sure to grab a drink or two at The Blind Tiger to kick things off!
This was super fun and we enjoyed it. I liked doing it this way better than being in a group. It's not too much walking and you learn a lot :)
Jim was very informative and knowledgeable with Charleston. We loved the tour and the views. Definitely a must when in Charleston. Thank you Jim.
Loved this experience, I was able to walk at my own pace and listen to the audio! I never got lost, the app kept me on tract
Good information, kind of cheesy but interesting history. We did it during the day. Ended up by the prison which was near a housing project.
We loved it! Took this tour at night and found it informative and fun! The app knew where we were and the next stop was always in front of us when the next story began. We went at our own pace, paused when we wanted to. After multiple structured tours over our trip, this was a nice change and very entertaining.
This was extremely easy and convenient. Once you download the tour to your phone via an app, the recorded guide leads you through the streets of Charleston with tales of ghosts and pirates. Because you are using locations on your phone the audio knows when you arrive to your destination and if you’re going the right way. The narrator’s voice is pleasant. Our whole family enjoyed it. You can go at your own pace so to me, it was better than going on an actual tour. If you have a large group of people, I suggest a blue tooth speaker. It’s a great price. You really can’t beat it.
This was a great option because we could go on our own time and at our own pace. Simple to follow and the narration was excellent! Learned a lot of fun facts while exploring this historic city! Definitely recommend! We both wore our headphones.
