Embark on the Charleston Audio Tour: Sacred Steeples and Storied Streets

The bricks of Charleston hide more than heat; they guard secrets passed through whispered hymns and midnight rebellions.

Take a self-guided audio tour into the city’s heart, where silent corners and grand steeples reveal stories few visitors ever hear. Let hidden chapters and overlooked details guide each step.

What legend led to a midnight riot beneath the gaze of St. Matthew’s spire? Which secret oath echoed through the shadows of the Unitarian Church’s ancient graveyard? And who once tried, and spectacularly failed, to smuggle a crocodile through bustling Marion Square?

Follow twisting lanes and grand boulevards on a journey that uncovers political intrigue, haunted whispers, and the laughter of Charleston’s most unexpected moments. Watch the city transform as you move from story to story, forever changing how the Holy City feels beneath your feet.

Unlock Charleston’s best-kept secrets. Begin your tour and listen to what the streets are dying to reveal.
