6 Night Tours in Charleston That You Shouldn't Miss
Historic Charleston is bursting with Southern charm and hospitality. The city feels a bit like it’s suspended in time, thanks to its antebellum architecture and surrounding plantation landscapes. Take in incredible views of the Battery and the French Quarter as you stroll the Waterfront Park, then become inspired by the cultivated beauty of the gardens at Middleton Place. At night, try a ghost tour for an introduction to the spooky side of the city.

I highly recommend a 2 1/2 walking tour of the charming city Charleston with Ann Garris 843 224-7817. Ann was amazing and filled with enormous amounts of history of the city, beautiful homes and all points of interest . Ann was very responsive from the very first phone call until we had the pleasure of meeting her and followed up with more wonderful sites and restaurants to see after our tour. Ann was raised in Charleston and is very knowledgeable and passionate of her beautiful city. You will not be disappointed touring with Ann.

We really enjoyed our tour with Old South Carriage Horse tours. The process to checkin was super easy and well organized. The horses are beautiful, especially Bill, our work horse for the hour long tour! We also enjoyed Rivers, our guide. He was young, energetic, super personable and was very knowledgeable about Charleston. He made the tour enjoyable. A great way to see a little bit of the city you might not otherwise see or hear about.

The history of the jail is very fascinating. But as far as a “haunted tour”, a bit lame. I wouldn’t recommend this tour.
