## What is Ghosts of Charleston?

Gentile, charming, Charleston, the epitome of southern grace and hospitality. But there is a darker side... pirates and lynchings and ghosts, oh no! Listen carefully for distant footsteps, eerie moaning, and maybe even a ghostly dog's nails clacking on the wood floor.

This narrated walking tour of historic Charleston is 1.7 miles long and stops at 11 haunted sites. Too spooked? Rain? Take a break and resume the tour later. It's like having your own personal guide, at a fraction of the price. 

Two Buck Tours allow you to tour on your terms: go when you want, with whom you want. All tours have maps with GPS, photos, text, and audio narration (in English). Good for all ages. No schedules, no crowds, no worries!

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2026-07-12*

We had this one and another, more expensive one.  I liked this one a lot more. It’s more direct with its stories, which is a plus if you have zero attention span like me. It also sticks to the main roads and major hot spots instead of taking you into residential areas all over the place. We had someone in a wheelchair and the sidewalks of Charleston that aren’t on the main beat are not made for wheelchairs at all. I mean, some of the main ones aren’t much better. Anyway, this one is succinct in its narration and its path and the directions are built into the narration. I still recommend using GPS. But if I could give this 100 five-star reviews, I would.

### 2/5 — Extremely limited selection of stories

*2024-02-01*

This app is cheap, and cheap is not always good. 11 ghost stories all concentrated in the French Quarter district of Charleston. May be fun for some first time visitors, but anyone who lives here or has been on a ghost tour in Charleston before likely already knows these stories. I would suggest considering other tour apps before this one.

### 5/5 — Great for tourists and locals

*2019-06-27*

I have lived here for a year now and have always been a proponent of being a tourist in your own city, especially a city with so many sites such as Charleston. I was pleasantly surprised with the tour. Great length and takes you by or around a lot of the main areas so you can easily take a break and eat, shop or see other things and finish later.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2018-08-17*

If you’ve ever done a guided ghost tour, but wanted more flexibility - give this a try. It’s nice to set your own schedule and not worry about how fast or slow the group is going. It was a beautiful day so we could go slowly and take pictures, stop for lunch, then see more sights.

### 4/5 — Not bad for $2

*2017-03-02*

The wife and I enjoyed an afternoon visiting all the sites. We would have walked right by half of these without the app. The stories were great about each site. The GPS never worked so had to use Apple Maps a couple of times. For $2 it was well worth it. You won't be disappointed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback; I'm glad you enjoyed the tour! I realize this was from a year ago, but the GPS should be working just fine :)

### 5/5 — Great tour overall

*2016-10-01*

Really good mix of history and tragedy.  Perfect distance for an afternoon tour. Beautiful scenery.

### 5/5 — Great afternoon in Charleston

*2014-12-22*

This tour app was a pleasant surprise; it was like a guided tour but was much less expensive and gave us the freedom to stop and start as we pleased.

### 5/5 — MUCH better than a crowded guided tour

*2011-10-17*

What a delight this tour was! Rather than be among a large crowd in an guided tour, we opted to download this independent tour.

We were able to amble along at our own pace pause for as many pictures as we liked, take a dinner break and resume the tour at our leisure. It was fantastic!

If you enjoy freedom while you travel, this download is for you.

### 5/5 — Spooky!

*2010-10-30*

Another great tour! We did the Wicked Walks tour in Savannah a while back. We enjoyed that one so much, we decided to do the Charleston tour while we were here. We weren't disappointed!
