$21.99 for an Historic City Walking Tour for Two ($44 Value)

Anne Middleton Herron, a 13th-generation Charlestonian, leads groups down historic streets as she divulges stories of the city's famous figures, battles, politics, and architecture. The tour ends with tea in the private garden of her family home. Tours depart daily at 9:45 a.m. from the US Custom House.

Though this merchant sometimes offers a discounted price online, this Groupon is still the best deal available.

Colonial Walking Tours

Anne Middleton Herron can trace her family's time in Charleston back 13 generations. In some ways, the city is like a family member itself, but fortunately for everyone else, she's more than willing to share its secrets through Colonial Walking Tours' history-filled excursions. On each two-hour tour, she leads groups through the walled city's historic streets, ambling past picturesque 300-year-old buildings that were really designed to impress time travelers. As they walk, she traces local history from colonial times to the present day with stories of political intrigue, bloody conflicts, triumphs, and the real people who made them possible. For a personal touch, she also discusses memories from her own childhood, and ends each tour in the private garden of her family home.

Colonial Walking Tours also explores the city's darker side with Ghost Hunt tours. By the flickering light of a candle-filled lantern, other experienced guides lead visitors through nighttime streets to locations such as the Provost Dungeon and St. Philip's Graveyard. There, they relate tales of untimely deaths tied to murders, suicides, duels, and executions, as well as voodoo curses that doomed many to spend eternity searching for their house keys.

The Groupon Guide to: Being a Millionaire

Television has taught us that there is practically no limit to the luxury that possessing exactly one million dollars ($1,000,000) can bring. Once you have this exact amount of money, here are the things that you can and must buy:

  • A boat of any size—all boat sizes, like fast-food soft drinks, cost the same amount of money
  • A swimming pool full of gold coins, plus a regular swimming pool you can actually use and enjoy
  • One of those money quilts that rap sensations The Fresh Five wore as capes to the Grammy Awards this year
  • A valuable painting, like a painting of a diamond
  • A butler
  • A butlerer (butler for your butler)
  • A car so fast that driving it even briefly is guaranteed to ruin your life and the life of anyone who sees you
  • A star named after yourself—you’re worth it, baby

What are some things that every millionaire can and must purchase? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
