Dark Side of Charleston Walking Tour

Highlights / General details

While pastel-colored homes, sunshine, and southern hospitality reign supreme in the city, it’s not always champagne and mimosas. From hundreds of years ago to present day, Charleston has been a place where high society life is shadowed by scandals, temptations, and unruly behavior. In the underbelly of Charleston lay an unholy city indeed.

Whether it’s a fascinating story about a legendary brothel or a look back at ancient forms of punishment, find out what really went on in the streets of the Holy City. While it’s not exactly meant to scare the bejesus out of you, this UNCENSORED tour of Charleston’s treacherous past covers the seediness that existed here way back when and will certainly be an eye opener.

Did Charleston have a red-light district? Why did prostitutes wear red shoes? Our licensed and experienced tour guides will take you on a fascinating 1½ hour walking tour of the DARK SIDE OF CHARLESTON, filled with a history you’ve probably never even considered before. There’s no other Charleston, SC walking tour like it!
