Take an R-rated, adults-only, uncensored look at Charleston's true history, full of corruption, prostitution, crime and sordid affairs. Every city has its dirty secrets. Find out what really goes on in the streets of the Holy City.

On this tour, we'll take you right in the middle of:

  • The brutal murder of Rumpty Rattles in front of what is today the Gucci store on Market street. Only a Charleston lawyer could get a gunman charged with shooting a man in the back acquitted on self-defense.
  • The old Speak Easy's where bootlegger Vincent J. Chicco made a fortune selling tickets to "Blind Tiger Fights," then used his money and influence to win election to the City Council for four consecutive terms. He also managed to be the chief investigator of all alcohol related crimes.
  • The brothels banned by the Navy in WWII when a study revealed Charleston sailors had the highest VD rate in the country.
  • Where freelance hookers known as "mattress girls" turned the Holy City's streets into Hell (or Heaven) on Earth.
  • The brothel where a city councilman faked his own death to escape the wrath of his wife when she tracked him down on the wrong side of town.
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.

Let us take you for a walk on the wild side of Charleston.

Meeting Location:
Market & State St. in the Historic Market District (Charleston, SC)
