Is a Charleston Ghost Tour Worth It?

A question worth answering honestly by a site that earns when you book.

The case for

Charleston's history genuinely carries this format. The stories are about earthquakes, fever and the people who built the place, and the good guides use the dark material as a way into a real city rather than as the whole point.

When to skip it

If you have already booked a daytime history walk you will hear a lot of the same material after dark. Pick one. And if what you actually want is a fright, this is a history walk with atmosphere and you will feel short-changed.

That sits in the typical band for the category, whose median is $30.
