Very informative tour. The guide was very knowledgeable, even though he had only been taking the tour for a few months. Nice variety of tour stops with lots of content. I would have appreciated a costume or a lantern to give more atmosphere.
Unlock Charleston’s Darkest Secrets on the Death and Depravity Ghost Tour. Not for the faint of heart. This is Charleston like you’ve never seen it—raw, unfiltered, and crawling with the ghosts of its most sinister past. Pull back the veil on the Holy City’s most shameful secrets. From shadowy alleyways once lined with brothels to the bloodstained corners of true crime history, this adults-only experience exposes the city's twisted underbelly. You’ll step into a world of scandal, sin, and the supernatural—where desire turned deadly and justice was often anything but. Prepare to hear stories that chill to the bone: grisly murders, tragic suicides, restless spirits, and whispers that still haunt Charleston’s darkest corners. These are the tales most tours won’t dare to tell—and that Charleston itself would rather forget. Are you brave enough to walk with the dead?

Stop At: The Powder Magazine79 Cumberland St, Charleston, South CarolinaAs one of few surviving structures from the colonial period, the Powder Magazine in Charleston, South Carolina has the benefit of time on its side. The structure was built in 1713 by British colonists to house guns and ammunition so that the fledgling colony could protect itself from the dangers around it. Its solid walls kept Charleston’s weapons safe for over one hundred years before being decommissioned. It’s safe to say this building has seen a lot of action from, Indian wars and Spanish threats to French invasion and colonist insurrection. And, if you believe the local lore, it’s said that some of those who fought and died in these exchanges never left. Duration: 15 minutesStop At: Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon122 E Bay St, , Charleston, South CarolinaNo historical landmark in Charleston, South Carolina, is as well-recognized as the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon at 122 East Bay Street. From its elegantly Georgian appearance to the deeply troubled and haunted basement beneath the street level, the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon has been one building which has truly lived historic Charleston. And, by all accounts, it continues to live in the past every day. Ghosts are said to roam its stately halls, and the startling cries of long-dead prisoners in the dungeon can still be heard. Today, the combined Old Exchange and the Provost Dungeon is now a museum which offers daily tours from 9-5pm. If these walls could talk, the secrets we would learn . . . Well, it’s safe to say that these walls would be haunted.Duration: 15 minutesStop At: Charleston Waterfront ParkConcord Street, Vendue Range, Charleston, South CarolinaThis is the starting location of the tour.

Lots of walking, as to be expected. Not allowed to enter any of the buildings or cemetery. Interesting tour. Guide does not return the group to starting point so you're left to find your way back in an unknown city at night.

Very informative tour. The guide was very knowledgeable, even though he had only been taking the tour for a few months. Nice variety of tour stops with lots of content. I would have appreciated a costume or a lantern to give more atmosphere.

Boring. Didn’t share the history as much as I thought and felt more theatrical than it needed to be.
The guide was well spoken and personable. Took the time to get to know the group.

It was boring . Nothing much to see . Left 1/2 thru the tour . Not what we had hoped for. Not very imaginative

A little slow...wish it was more intense or scary. But we appreciated our guide and thought he was nice and very knowledgeable.
