Tour Charleston, LLC describes itself as the only company in Charleston providing ghost and history tours based exclusively on published books by knowledgeable locals and historians. Its flagship Ghosts of Charleston Tour is built around the best-selling book The Ghosts of Charleston, and its Charleston Ghost and Graveyard Tour includes a stop inside the Unitarian Church Graveyard, a historic Charleston burying ground known for its overgrown, informal landscaping. The company operates out of Buxton Books, an independent Charleston bookstore and tour headquarters on King Street in the city's historic downtown.

The Ghosts of Charleston Tour is billed by the operator as based on the best-selling book of the same name, walking guests through the historic district's "triumphs and its tragedies." The Charleston Ghost and Graveyard Tour centers on a visit inside the Unitarian Church Graveyard, which the operator describes as a "storied" site for the tour's hauntings-focused stories.
