My family was in town for Thanksgiving week. Of course a tour by Eric Lavender and Sabrina Lavender was on our TODO list.. .this year...the GHOST TOUR. It was a nice blend of a little scary...some humor...and lots of interesting information and photos...all shared by Eric. We highly recommend any of their tours. They are Charleston's Best! More...

Eric is the absolute best. He is very knowledgeable and has a natural gift for storytelling. His tour was entertaining and informative. We did the Pirate ghost tour and ended up being the only 2 people on the tour, so it was a very personal experience. I will absolutely be coming back for another tour the next time I'm in Charleston. We cannot recommend this tour company and Eric enough. He made our trip so very memorable. More...

We took the evening pirate and ghost tour with Eric and it was was great! Tons of history, great stories and a few chills. It’s safe to say we are all terrified of boo hags now! More...

As we toured the old sections of Charleston, I found Eric's commentary and story telling on how pirates impacted the city for good and bad, to be both fascinating and very informational. Highly Recommended. Bring your best walking shoes. More...

We did the children’s treasure hunt tour a few weeks ago and we absolutely loved it! Not only did the tour give the kids exercise as they ran to each spot on the map, but Sabrina kept them (and us) highly entertained! The treasure at the end was the best part. Each had a hard time only picking two treasures from the special treasure box they found! We would highly recommend this tour if in Charleston with small children! More...

Our 6yo & 8yo really enjoyed the 1 hr children's pirate treasure hunt tour. Sabrina is engaging and keeps the kids moving the entire time. Highly recommend. We will definitely book another tour next time we are in Charleston. More...

An absolute must for any Charleston visit. The tour guide was entertaining but filled with genuine facts and stories about many of the pirates of the "golden age. " The pace was not rapid and he took many opportunities to let the group sit and listen, the route took us along so many of the beautiful homes and buildings and churches of downtown and the time flew by as you were enthralled with the tales of Pirate captains such as Chalres Vane and Blackbeard. Go and take this tour, you won't regret it. More...

This was such a fun experience for my two children (5 and 1.5). We paid for my son to participate so that he could get the sword and be a part of the whole thing. I loved that they made it fun for the kids and educational for the adults. More...

I did this tour with my family last Sunday. It was amazing!! We learned so much and were thoroughly entertained. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about the pirating history of Charleston. It is a walking tour (clearly) and so you get to see a good bit of Charleston too. More...

We had an awesome time. Eric did a great job taking us back in time making us feel that we were actually living back in the early 1700s in the pirate era. Two hours never went so fast. Eric was extremely knowledgeable and had great insight. Due to his enthusiasm we have taken a strong interest in Pirates and ended up buying the books he suggested. Would we take the tour again or recommend to others? In a heartbeat we would!!! More...

I did the Children’s Treasure Hunt with my 7 and 4 year old daughters. They had the best time! They loved the concept, had a blast dressing up like pirates and joining Captain Sabrina’s crew, and my 7 year old even learned a bit about Charleston history along the way. The hunt lasts about an hour, is a great activity for 4-7 year old kids, and was entertaining for me and the other mom in my group. More...

I thoroughly enjoyed the Pirate Tour as did my two nephews (ages 4 and 7). Captain Sabrina was excellent and not only kept the kids engaged and in line, but also had some tidbits for the adults. As a local who grew up in Charleston, I was pleasantly surprised to walk away with historical tidbits I never knew. The boys are still telling tales of the "pirates of charleston" and showing off their treasure. Thanks Charleston Pirate Tours! We will be back. More...

We took my three little grandsons on the pirates treasure hunt. The six and four year olds loved it so much that they talked about it for days. The two year old enjoyed running around the park, so we felt that it was a great experience. My only qualm was that each adult was charged $12, which we felt was a little steep, considering that we were there just to supervise our little guys. Other than that, it was a great educational activity as well as a fun and well organized activity. More...

I booked the Children’s Treasure Hunt tour for my 3 year old twins birthday party after original plans fell through. Sabrina was very accommodating with less than 10 days notice. She even arranged for my girl twin to get a mermaid rather than a parrott balloon animal like everyone else- this was a huge hit as everyone wanted the beautiful mermaid then! Sabrina was very understanding and helpful with my group! The birthday party kept growing in size and with parents lingering and babies running in and out of the tour she was professional all the way. I would highly recommend using Charleston Pirate tours for children 3 years and up and the history made it amazing for older children and adults! I can’t say enough good things. I’d love to do it again soon! More...

My boys (5 & 6) had a blast on Sabrina's treasure hunt tour this past week! They loved searching around the park and running off to the next clue! As parents, we enjoyed the humor as well, which sometimes flew over the kids' heads! The kids were so excited for their treasure and haven't taken off their shark's tooth necklaces since then!

Charleston Pirate Tours was the highlight of our trip! Our oldest daughter (age 13) showed up dressed as a pirate (corset and all) and asked a lot of questions. Eric answered them all and then some. I've been to Charleston many times and had no idea about the rich piracy history. Now I do! If you have older and younger kids, divide and conquer. Send kids under age 10 Sabrina's way for the 1 hour tour and kids over 10 Eric's way for the 2 hour walking tour. The timing works out perfectly . I'll post pictures as proof or fun times if I can figure out how! More...

Never have we felt so immersed in history, let alone have I ever experienced storytelling quite like Eric's! I surprised my husband with this last weekend because we plan on seeing Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales this weekend, and I wanted to theme our first vacation together. There is nothing that could have made it more memorable for us! While it was hot (as SC always is) and I had a rough time with my own health issues, that did not stop our enjoyment of the tour. We are really glad to have booked with you, and thankful that you took all the time you did in answering all the questions and quips from us. There is nothing quite like you guys, and we thank you again! Next time, we'll have to book a ghost tour now that we know some of the history. Thanks again! More...
