Charleston's amazingly historical parking lots

This tour is perfect for those who have already taken a basic history tour of the Holy City and are looking for something entirely new and different.

What do you do when there's a part of your history that isn't all grand mansions and beautiful gardens? Many believe that there are some parts of Charleston's history that are best forgotten and left hidden in the past.

What better way to hide a part of a city's history than to simply pave over it, replacing it with a boringly unimpressive parking lot? Some of those parking lots have amazingly interesting stories to tell!

A two-hour private tour for up to six people is $325.

Additional guests add $40 per person (up to 20 people).

Additional time, add $50 per hour or partial hour.
