Each Charleston tour is built around a different cluster of the operator's stated material. The Death and Depravity Ghost Tour opens at the Dock Street Theatre and continues to the Circular Congregational Church and Graveyard, the Old Exchange Building and Provost Dungeon, and the Powder Magazine, framed by the operator around Charleston's crime and scandal history rather than its daytime historical narrative. The Ghosts of Liberty Tour opens at the Powder Magazine and continues to the Old Exchange Building and Provost Dungeon, Waterfront Park, and the Circular Congregational Church and Graveyard, framed around the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.

The Charleston Haunted Pub Crawl opens at the Blind Tiger Pub and continues to the Griffin, Poogan's Porch, and Tommy Condon's Irish Pub, framed by the operator as a social crawl through haunted taverns rather than a straight history walk.

All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history verified independently for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
