The Charleston Haunted Jail Tour

Really looking forward to this tour, what a let down, We felt it was rushed and the tour guide must have had other plans for the evening. We were told this was the scariest tour, there was nothing scarey about it. We did a ghost tour in Key West that really puts the jail tour to shame. Charleston is a great historical town don' t waste your time on this tour.

If you want to see a ghost, then join TAPS! If you would like to see a piece of history with some unfortunate tales, then come visit the Old City Jail. I enjoyed learning about the history of Charleston's Jail and the people who stayed there. Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. This is perfect for people who want a visual picture the horrible past accompanied by this jail.

the tour was very informative in a pretty creepy building....if you enjoy history (especially creepy) it was wonderful.

Great tour guide. Interesting tour.

It was awesome! Would like to go back again. The tour could have been longer but I got some amazing pictures. Very heavy feeling in that jail. Definetely haunted.

It was a good tour but not scarey. It was advertised as a "not recommended for small children or men that cry easily." We thought it would be scarey and then we get there and one of the first things the tour guide says is that this is not a "boo tour" it is historical. It was definitely historical, interesting and gruesome stories were told. It was not worth the money as we only got to see 3 rooms and it went very fast.

This was one of the most memorable ghost tours I've ever taken and one of the best things I did in Charleston! Our tour guide was fantastic.

VERY CREEPY TOUR...BUT ALSO HAD A LOT OF HISTORY OF HOW THE PRISONERS WERE TREATED

My girls, all 5 of them, had a blast! We have wanted to do this ghost walk for the longest and decided a 13th birstday party was an ideal time. The guide was very informative and the girls just ate up everything she had to say. I would recommend this tour for anyone!!

We heard that this was the best ghost tour in town, so naturally we tried it first. While the scene of the City Jail held a great deal of potential, the presentation was very poor. The jail is undergoing constant reconstruction, as it was originally condemned, but there appears to be little effort to separate the construction from the tour path. As a result, it is VERY difficult to "see" how the Jail used to be. The tour guide was nice and somewhat informed of the history, but a VERY poor storyteller. I felt like the stories would have been appropriate for a high school class, not an adult tour. The group was small enough not to be a distraction, but the constant flash photography completely ruined the intended "scariness" of the experience. As a result, my wife and I were very unimpressed. Don't go here to be scared, it's just not set up for it. Like I said, it was a reasonably good History Walk, a really bad Ghost Tour.
