Fun walking tour of Charleston
It was a fun mix of history and ghost stories. Kelly was very good storyteller and guide. One issue is that some of the pubs didn’t serve us fast enough so we didn’t have time to consume anything but water or soft drinks.
via Viator
Great way to spend an evening in Charleston!
Kelly was an engaging, knowledgeable and fun tour guide. Her stories were so interesting. Also, the group was small so we could get to know the other members of the group a bit. I would highly recommend this tour!

Spooky Fun
Jo was the best!! we had a blast, highly recommend for some spooky-good fun
via Tripadvisor
Give it a try!
Unfortunately we had to leave early because we were feeling unwell (completely unrelated to the tour) but what we got to see was wonderful. Our tour guide was clearly very experienced and passionate and we wish we could have stayed to see more but we will definitely be keeping an eye out for this experience the next time we get a chance

Our lost and found night with Joe
Joe was a great pirate guide. The stories and bars were just what we were looking for. I would encourage others to take this tour. Just pay better attention to rendezvous information than my mother and I did. Thanks Joe, for not leaving us behind.

Charleston Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Charleston.
How much does Charleston Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,635 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Charleston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Charleston Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost 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 Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Charleston Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour?
+
Around 572 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Charleston Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost 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 Charleston historical walking tour with a Professor of History at The Citadel, Historic Charleston Guided Sightseeing Walking Tour, Hidden Alleyways and Historic Sites Small-Group Walking Tour. 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.
What is included in Charleston Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour?
+
Included: Stories of local hauntings and ghosts; Visit local, historic bars; Costumed Tour Guide; and 2.5 hour walking tour. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Charleston Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour?
+
Please check in with your guide OUTSIDE the front door of Henry's. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Charleston Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Charleston Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Charleston Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for travelers with mobility issues. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Charleston Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
