Tour guide was very...
Tour guide was very sensitive to the fact that there were multiple younger kids. It was a good tour but we were disappointed that we didn't get to go inside any graveyards. We've done a tour before and they took us in the Circular Church graveyard. He mentioned about it not being allowed but there was a different group out and our guide didn't notice but this group went in through one of the front gates. I guess you have to have special entrance. Not sure. Anyway, overall it was a good time. There were bad thunderstorms around but they stayed on the edge of the city and we just got sprinkled on and that was it. Was so glad because we didn't have another night there. We liked this tour as it was infiltrated with historical facts as well.

Perfect for spooky story fans!
Fascinating, enjoyable tour that would be great for families with slightly older kids! A family member and I went on this tour together and had a wonderful time. Our guide, Kit, was a delight: knowledgeable, funny, and an excellent storyteller. I grew up in the area, and Kit had tales to tell that were new to me, which I LOVED! The stories on the tour are just the right level of spooky to be enjoyable for a pretty broad age range. No spoilers here, but I feel like this tour would be a hit with most folks about ten and up. I look forward to checking out further tours in the future!

Fun family experience!
Our tour guide, Ms. Ravenel, was very professional and knowledgeable. I love how she was very aware of our kids and told stories in a way that was fun but not too scary. I also appreciate how punctual she was with the start time of the tour. She took us to great locations. Would definitely recommend!

A charming, ghostly experience! A++ Rating
We truly enjoyed this ghost tour in Charleston,. We went to many sites and heard lots of interesting stories. Our guide was a descendent of one of the wealthiest families and they immigrated over in the mid 1600s. It was great to hear her perspective and one of her family stories. She was super sweet and went above and beyond to answer our questions and even kept our tour running a little bit longer so she could explain even more. Thank you for a memorable evening!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Charleston Ghosts of Liberty Guided Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Charleston.
How much does Charleston Ghosts of Liberty Guided Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Charleston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Charleston Ghosts of Liberty Guided Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Charleston is not rushed.
Is Charleston Ghosts of Liberty Guided Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 480 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Charleston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Charleston Ghosts of Liberty Guided Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Charleston Ghosts of Liberty Guided Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Charleston Ghosts of Liberty Guided Walking Tour?
+
Around 168 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Charleston can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Charleston and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Charleston Ghosts of Liberty Guided Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Charleston within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Charleston?
+
Charleston's best experiences are small: house museum tours with an architectural historian, Gullah heritage walks, harbour sails at sunset and Lowcountry food crawls through the market district. Plantation day trips vary enormously in how honestly they handle the history, and our ranking factors that in directly. On Outty we rank every Charleston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historic Charleston Guided Sightseeing Walking Tour, Charleston historical walking tour with a Professor of History at The Citadel, Charleston Eco Boat Cruise with stop at Morris Island Lighthouse. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Charleston?
+
March to May and September to November, the two mild shoulder windows. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Charleston?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
