Our guides are the best in the business, with years of research and storytelling experience. They promise the kind of accuracy, insight and enthusiasm that create a delightful touring experience. Let them lead you to Charleston's hidden alleys and tell you what went on behind its closed doors.The daytime walks last approximately two hours. The ghost walks are shorter (and scarier).We go rain or shine. There are no hills. The pace is easy. Please join us. You'll be glad you did! « less

Mike really gets into his presentation of the stories he tells. He walked us around Charleston to several different locations for almost 90 minutes and really did the stories justice by building the suspense. Mike is very knowledgeable and supports his claims with actual events or facts from research on the events/places. I would definitely recommend his tour to anyone!

If you read ALL the reviews, he gets a 5 circle rating for a reason, he is worth it! Mike was born and raised in Charleston. His stories are all based on research, not just off the wall stories! I will never forget John and Lavinia Fisher, Zoe St. Amand of Sue Howard Hardy. Awesome stories, he enjoys questions and... More

If you are looking for a great ghost tour, look no further! Mike Brown was our tour guide for the 7:30 p.m. tour on Wednesday, May 15th. He was an excellent guide who not only told us some of Charleston's creepier side, but he also talked about general history of the area. Ghost tales were connected with historical events seamlessly... More

If your looking for a serious tour guide this is the tours to reserve. We took his ghost tour, and not only did he tell ghost tours , he back them up with historical information. He talked loudly for everyone to hear and was respectful to those that were walking on the side walk. You could tell he has a... More

Mike was our guide for the 9:30 pm tour on Wednesday, May 15. He is not only a great storyteller, i actually found myself believing it! The town in and of itself is a perfect setting for tales of the ghost of Lavinia Fisher, the first white woman hung in the state of South Carolina as well as a serial... More

Did a ghost tour with Mike on 5/13 and loved it! We chose Old Charleston Walking Tours because they were advertised to be pet friendly. They couldn't have been more accommodating of our lab. We enjoyed learning more about Charleston's history. Talking later, we agreed it was the best money we had spent during our trip in Charleston.

His tour was excellent-the highlight of our visit to Charleston.His knowledge of the city,the War,life in that period and the people seems to have no limits.He has a friendly easy way of sharing his knowledge that is is engaging and very enjoyable. We would highly recommend any of his tours ----doubt anyone can bring Charleston to life like Dennis

I was very very pleased with Dennis's History & Homes tour. Very informative and passionate without overbearing facts. Our group was small, which I like more intimate tour compared to another tour group we saw, struggling to hear their guide. He hit all the major points of interest I wanted to explore, i.e. St. Michaels, Rainbow, Waterfront Park, along with... More

We were looking at walking tours of Charleston and, being interested in history, decided on the Civil War and Slavery Walking Tour. We called ahead to confirm our spot and make sure that the tour was dog-friendly, and arrived just in time on Friday to make the tour. Dennis was extremely knowledgeable about the history surrounding the Civil War and... More

Our first day entering Charleston, SC, we went to the visitors center looking for a walking tour pertaining to the Civil War. The "Civil War and Slavery" tour was suggested and we got a slight discount at the VC.Having already parked in the VC parking garage , we walked down Meeting St about 20 minutes to meet the tour guide,...
