Definitely consider this tour!
Geordie is very knowledgeable about Charlestons history and a great storyteller! Great walking tour that ties history with the paranormal. Definitely for all ages. Even my college aged kids really enjoyed it!

Great tour! Don't miss it!
Excellent tour! The guide was amazing - funny, knowledgeable and quickly developed a good rapport with the group.
Response from the operator: Daydream, thank you for joining the Supernatural Charleston Tour. We strive to keep the spirits and macabre history light and intriguing so that guests leave with a fresh perspective of the city’s supernatural underbelly. Hope to see you again in the Holy City!
via Tripadvisor
Had a blast trying a new experience in a city we know and love!
Charleston is rich with history and Geordie did an excellent job of weaving together stories from all eras. Everyone in our group wished we had more time to dive deeper into the various stories because Geordie had so much to share. I was impressed with his personal knowledge and his journalistic background. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank y’all for joining the Supernatural Charleston Tour and for your enthusiasm. Hope that you can come spend more time exploring the paranormal underbelly of the Holy City.

Not worth the $$
Though knowledgable of Charleston’s history Jordy’s delivery was erratic and off topic. Nice enough person but was unfortunately the worst tour guide we’ve ever had. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed the city of Charleston.
Response from the operator: We’re sorry you were unable to see value in the eleven national historic landmarks you were kindly guided to, especially the cultural aspects. While there are some things we can not fix, we can likely help you resolve any issues in less time it took you to post this broad critique if you contact directly.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Supernatural Charleston Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Charleston.
How much does Supernatural Charleston Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $33 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 Supernatural Charleston 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 Supernatural Charleston Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 415 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 Supernatural Charleston 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 Supernatural Charleston 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 Supernatural Charleston Tour?
+
Around 145 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 Supernatural Charleston 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 Supernatural Charleston Tour?
+
Included: 90-minute walking tour; Historic Tour of Supernatural Charleston; and Professional tour guide. Not included: Gratuities; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Supernatural Charleston Tour?
+
Meet IN CENTER OF MARION SQUARE unless otherwise instructed (usually during festivals). There are benches nearby if you arrive early and would like to sit down. Park is bordered by Meeting Street, King Street. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Supernatural Charleston 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 Supernatural Charleston Tour?
+
