    Must do tour!

    Bri, was great and her knowledge and history of Charleston was first class. Her story telling fitted the four description.

    Response from the operator: We love to hear that! Thanks so much for taking a walk with us on your vacation!

    The ghost of Poogan

    Roy was an awesome storyteller. We walked around Charleston listening to his stories about both the history and ghost that have haunted restaurants, churches and houses. I would highly recommend this ghost tour to anyone visiting Charleston.

    Response from the operator: Fantastic! We love hearing things like this and are so glad you enjoyed your walk with us!

    Funny, entertaining evening for two

    What a fantastic serendipitous evening: we booked last minute (only about an hour and a half ahead of time when our booking for a different tour fell through)… When we arrived at the meeting point, we found out that even though the booking was last minute and we were the only two people, Paul had nonetheless rushed down to meet us in order to give the tour. Paul wad engaging, witty, an excellent storyteller, and all-around exceptional ambassador for the culture, history, and quirky stories of Charleston (we even spent the evening competing to see who could work in the most groan worthy puns into the conversation). Would highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: We are so glad to hear it and we will be sure to pass along to Paul! Thank you for walking with us on your vacation!

    Fun and informative!

    We had a wonderful tour with Bree! She had many interesting stories that were indeed scary and fun. One note - even if the tour ticket says 80 Broad - you need to meet your guide in the park next door.

    Response from the operator: We are glad to hear you enjoyed your walk! We will make a note of the directions, as well!

    Revolutionary Charleston Walks - Ghost Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Charleston.

    How much does Revolutionary Charleston Walks - Ghost Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $22 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 Revolutionary Charleston Walks - Ghost 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 Revolutionary Charleston Walks - Ghost Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 20 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 Revolutionary Charleston Walks - Ghost 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 Revolutionary Charleston Walks - Ghost 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 Revolutionary Charleston Walks - Ghost Tour?

    +

    Around 7 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 Revolutionary Charleston Walks - Ghost 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.
