Additional Information

Many Charleston Ghost Tours have big groups of 25+ - NOT HERE!! We limit our tour sizes to about 12 to keep them fun! Charleston is one of the most charming and colorful cities in the world; however, when the light fades and shadows grow long, a darker side of the Holy City emerges. Over the course of just over 1 mile long, our 90 min walk will pass…

Best Charleston Ghost Tour - Best ghost tour ever! This was my second ghost tour in Charleston (as well as one in Savannah). There were six of us in the group, including me, my 16yo daughter, and her friend. Brandon was a phenomenal story teller, extremely knowledgeable about history, and really made us feel connected to the city of Charleston. His energy was infectious and his stories full of details I had never heard before. It was so nice to be in a smaller group because you could move more freely, ask more questions, and share camaraderie with your guide and fellow travelers. Very unique to be on Charleston streets late-night and learn about people and places you might not otherwise. Our trio actually considered doing a self-guided tour purely for timing reasons and so glad we didn't. Thank you, Brandon! Would book another tour with you! One note: You are walking at night on old sidewalks so be sure to wear comfortable shoes.

Good way to spend a 90 minutes or so - 3 of us had a good time. Lots of walking need good shoes and possibly a brinh a jacket. There s parking lot just near but without knowing the area we parked farther than we needed to. We did not go inside of a thing. Not even a cemetery. Darian's stories were great
