Dark Side of Charleston Guided Night-Time Walking Tour

Posted By : StacyGwashere
This tour is not a ghost tour. They will tell you this 6 times before you start the tour. If you still complain that you thought it was a ghost tour, you're stupid. Don't like my bluntness or words I used, then don't go on this tour. It's rated R. There's swearing. There's crime, corruption and scandal. It was the best tour I've been on!! Our tour guide Bruce was so knowledgeable and funny. In fact we had such a great time on Wednesday night, we booked the Haunted Jail tour for Friday night.

We did the Dark Side of Charleston walking tour, and Randy was the absolute best. He was engaging, animated, and had a lot of anecdotes from his own experiences having grown up in Charleston. Really a great time. Tour was 1.5-2 hours and about no more than a mile walking. Highly recommend to anyone looking to hear some fun stories.

We were expecting our “Dark Side” tour to feature stories of crime, corruption, plagues, bordellos, gangsters, moonshine, illegal gambling, etc, much like other similar tours in other cities. Instead it was mostly a vulgarity-laced sex narrative. We bailed early and got a refund (to their credit, they issued the refund without objection). I give two stars instead of one because they encouraged people who were uncomfortable to go get a refund, and we did.

Our tour guide Ben was super awesome! He was knowledgeable and I'm very funny. He kept a really good pace. You definitely find out the dark side of Charleston and a lot of their leaders were not great people.

Randy was awesome! We learned so much! The tour was also a great way to see Charleston at night. We definitely recommend.

This had the potential to be really interesting based on other reviews and the description. While Braxton had some really great stories to tell he seemed to be trying too hard - my husband and are not strangers to "mature" topics or language, but Braxton seemed to just really go for the shock value of saying certain things which was really just a distraction because the stories are interesting and shocking on their own! Unfortunately, all of his stories were only focused on brothels and no other types of "darkness" like prohibition, etc. The concept is awesome - just needs a little work!

I would like to recommend the tour but I didn’t get to experience it. I thought that I had signed up for a 10 pm tour. But I missed the call saying they were departing on the 8 pm tour. I asked them if I could switch to the 10 pm and they said it was cancelled. I am asking if I can get a refund because Wednesday was the only evening we were available.

This is a fabulous tour. Getting to see the 'darker side' of Charleston with a great storyteller in Jack Kelly. He kept our group entertained and we learned so much that we are curious about exploring these stories even more!
Highly recommended since it's fascinating and lasts 90 minutes which is just perfect.
Not the usual and that's what made it so wonderful!

Dave was an excellent storyteller! I learned a lot.I don’t know why people are so hung up on ghosts when the actual history is so fascinating.
