What To Expect

The Powder Magazine

As one of few surviving structures from the colonial period, the Powder Magazine in Charleston, South Carolina has the benefit of time on its side. The structure was built in 1713 by British colonists to house guns and ammunition so that the fledgling colony could protect itself from the dangers around it. Its solid walls kept Charleston’s weapons safe for over one hundred years before being decommissioned. It’s safe to say this building has seen a lot of action from, Indian wars and Spanish threats to French invasion and colonist insurrection. And, if you believe the local lore, it’s said that some of those who fought and died in these exchanges never left.

Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon

No historical landmark in Charleston, South Carolina, is as well-recognized as the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon at 122 East Bay Street. From its elegantly Georgian appearance to the deeply troubled and haunted basement beneath the street level, the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon has been one building which has truly lived historic Charleston. And, by all accounts, it continues to live in the past every day. Ghosts are said to roam its stately halls, and the startling cries of long-dead prisoners in the dungeon can still be heard. Today, the combined Old Exchange and the Provost Dungeon is now a museum which offers daily tours from 9-5pm. If these walls could talk, the secrets we would learn . . . Well, it’s safe to say that these walls would be haunted.

Our tour was cut short because another tour guide fell ill and our guide helped but that is not the reason for the poor review. The tour was not scary. Very unorganized in beginning. They apparently overbooked the tour and too many people were in each group. Messaged the operator already about a refund. I think the tour should be renamed or the description updated

This tour was super fun! The hour & a half flew by with Lance as our tour guide! Incredibly knowledgeable with some hilarious tidbits! Not only was the tour spooky, Lance told us so much of Charlestons rich history which was so fun to hear with it being our first time in the city! I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone!

Lance was absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable about the area and history so we learned something while also hearing about a few ghosts that haunt the churches, squares, and graveyards. He has a quick sense of self-deprecating humor that had us in tears before the tour even started. I highly recommend this for families with near adult children. It’s not the history you’ll get from any textbook. 10/10, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I’m wondering if we came on the tour next year, could we get some new stories?
