Itinerary

The Historic District of Charleston, South Carolina, is a living museum of Southern history, charm, and culture. Walking through its cobblestone streets, visitors are transported back in time to the Colonial and Antebellum eras. The district is home to beautifully preserved mansions, historic churches, and lush gardens, each with its own story to tell. Notably, the area is a hotspot for ghost stories and paranormal activity, with tales of restless spirits from Charleston's past. The historic homes and buildings, such as the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon, St. Michael's Church, and the Mills House Hotel, each hold legends of hauntings that intrigue and chill visitors. Evening ghost tours reveal the spectral side of this charming city, where the echoes of duels, tragic love stories, and Civil War battles still linger. The Historic District of Charleston offers a rich tapestry of American history, architecture, and haunted folklore.

Okay tour but would be more exciting at night.

Lots of walking and not the shortest route! Could not get anything from one of the segments (the pirate house).

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback, Connie. We’re glad you were able to complete the tour, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. This is a walking tour, so there is some distance involved, but we understand that route length can feel different for each guest. Also, it is true that ghost tours are scarier at night. We also checked the Pirate House audio, and it is working, though because the tour is browser-based, occasionally a page refresh may be needed if an audio segment does not load properly. We appreciate your input and will use it as we continue improving the experience.

Two thumbs up! Excellent tour! I really enjoyed this!

This tour was well organized and simple to follow. Quick links to the exact address was so helpful and convenient. Audio was clear and interesting. I really loved the ghosts stories and the narrator was pleasant to the ear. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in ghost and area history.
