Overview

Discover the secrets hidden behind the Spanish Moss.

Charleston is famous for hospitality, but on this interactive walking tour, you will dig deeper into the "Holy City’s" past. Navigate cobblestone streets of the French Quarter and the Battery to uncover stories of pirates, patriots, and socialites.

Why travelers love this Questo experience:

The Icons: Solve riddles along Rainbow Row, the famous Georgian row houses, and the stunning waterfront Battery.

Hidden History: Discover the Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon (where pirates were held) and secret alleyways.

Southern Charm: Admire intricate wrought-iron gates, "Single Houses," and historic churches.

Beat the Heat: Self-guided means you can play early in the morning or enjoy a sunset stroll in the harbor breeze.

100% Flexible: No guide, no schedule. Pause for shrimp and grits or sweet tea, and resume instantly.

The Mission: Can you navigate Charleston's timeline from the Revolution to the Civil War and unlock its secrets?
