About this tour

Discover Charleston through stories that bring its streets, history, and reported hauntings to life. This 1.5-hour Charleston family walking tour offers a choice of haunted history, pirate history, or a gentler ghost tour, with small-group or private options.

Walk through the Historic District and French Quarter as your guide shares researched local history, folklore, architecture, and accounts of reported hauntings. Depending on the experience you choose, hear about the people behind Charleston’s ghost stories or explore the city’s pirate and maritime past. The storytelling distinguishes documented history from legend and paranormal reports, inviting questions without telling you what to believe. The gentler option keeps younger children and more sensitive guests in mind, with lighter tales and humor rather than jump scares or staged experiences.

The tour stays outdoors on public streets and sidewalks; entry into buildings, tunnels, and graveyards is not included. Every ticket comes with a complimentary souvenir hat, and limited EMF readers may be available for educational demonstrations on haunted history experiences. Paranormal activity is never guaranteed.

Choose the Charleston family walking tour that suits your curiosity, then explore the city through its people, past, and enduring legends.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: GetYourGuide doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
