Philadelphia Alley, also known as Duelers Alley, is one of the most intriguing locations in all of Charleston. While charming in the daytime, at night, this hidden charm has a completely different personality. The hidden walkway attracts curious visitors strolling the streets of downtown, but in earlier years, it bustled with livestock, scholars, congregants, and thieves.

Mediocre
Price was comparable to other tours. Tour guide, Grace, was animated, engaging, and knowledgeable. Until she wasn’t. Raining during the tour and she was considerate to check-in with guests on their comfort. After 1 hour she abruptly stopped the tour stating she was done, assumably due to weather. However, we encountered at least 3 other tours still in progress on our walk back to hotel. Disappointed.

Ghosts of Charleston
We had a great time. Albin (our guide) was very good and had some amazing stories. He was very knowledgeable and showed us places where people have seen or felt a presence. Some of these were horrible but he did a great job so I felt what these poor people were feeling. Albin was wonderful. Thanks for a great experience

It was interesting to learn about the dungeon and to be able to go down into it. I would have like to hear more ghost stories.

Good tour with history and ghost stories thrown.
A good tour with some ghost stories thrown in and a little bit of history as well. The dungeon part of the tour was most interesting.
