What locals are saying
Nightly Spirits earns consistent praise from Charleston locals as a top-tier ghost tour option, with self-described regulars singling out the pub-crawl format and costumed guides — particularly standout guides like 'Jo' — as what separates it from competitors. However, TripAdvisor reviews flag meaningful guide inconsistency: at least one tour suffered from a guide who stayed ahead of the group, couldn't be heard, and delivered few actual stories, leaving guests feeling the experience was thin on content. The brand markets itself heavily on its own channels (Instagram, TikTok) with spooky date-night and haunted pub-crawl content, and while it claims a national 'Top 10 ghost tours' recognition, independent local buzz is positive but not overwhelming — quality appears to hinge significantly on which guide you draw.
On socials
Social posts pitch Nightly Spirits' Charleston Booze & Boos walking tour as the go-to 'night you won't forget' — creators highlight the combo of eerie ghost stories and stops at haunted bars along the cobblestone French Quarter, with at least one IG creator (@brookemillschs) tagging it a flat-out 'must-see.' Guide-specific praise is common (names like Jo and Vannah pop up repeatedly), while one widely-noted TripAdvisor complaint about guide misconduct has circulated as a cautionary flag for some prospective bookers.
