Ghosts of Charleston

We had this one and another, more expensive one. I liked this one a lot more. It’s more direct with its stories, which is a plus if you have zero attention span like me. It also sticks to the main roads and major hot spots instead of taking you into residential areas all over the place. We had someone in a wheelchair and the sidewalks of Charleston that aren’t on the main beat are not made for wheelchairs at all. I mean, some of the main ones aren’t much better. Anyway, this one is succinct in its narration and its path and the directions are built into the narration. I still recommend using GPS. But if I could give this 100 five-star reviews, I would.

I have lived here for a year now and have always been a proponent of being a tourist in your own city, especially a city with so many sites such as Charleston. I was pleasantly surprised with the tour. Great length and takes you by or around a lot of the main areas so you can easily take a break and eat, shop or see other things and finish later.

If you’ve ever done a guided ghost tour, but wanted more flexibility - give this a try. It’s nice to set your own schedule and not worry about how fast or slow the group is going. It was a beautiful day so we could go slowly and take pictures, stop for lunch, then see more sights.
