Overview

This tour does not enter any private buildings or graveyards.

The Holy City’s past is as intriguing as it is tragic. Fires, wars, witches, murder plots, mass graves, voodoo, poltergeists, and Boo-Hags are real elements of Lowcountry history. This tour will show you a dark, mystical side of Charleston that you may not expect.

Follow a knowledgeable guide to historical locations that are as beautiful as they are haunted.

This is a family-friendly (PG-13), pet-friendly tour.

Note: As this tour receives bookings from multiple websites, it is important to check availability with us prior to booking.
