Charleston's Best Tours has been in operation since 1999. It is the fifthh oldest ghost tour company in the city.

Our primary service is offering nightime ghost tours in historic Charleston. We can also arrange private daytime ghost/history tours for private groups or charter groups.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I have been a licensed tour guide in the city of Charleston since 2002, and I began working for Charleston's Best Tours as a ghost tour guide in 2003. I have a love of history, and becoming a tour guide was a natural fit for me. I have owned this company since 2005 when I was presented with the opportunity to purchase the business from the original owner.
