Standing at the foot of Broad Street in Charleston, the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon rises with quiet authority over the cobblestones below. Step inside and you move through centuries at once, from the half-moon bastion buried beneath your feet to the grand exchange hall where merchants once struck deals. The Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon holds some of the most consequential moments in early American history within its thick tabby walls.
Our experience with Charleston Pirate Tours was outstanding and far exceeded our expectations. The tour offered a fascinating look at the intersection of piracy, Charleston's rich history, and the agricultural roots of the Lowcountry's rice plantations. What could have been a simple pirate-themed excursion became a deeply engaging exploration of the people, cultures, economics, and historical forces that shaped Charleston into the unique city it is today. A special thank you to our guide, Eric, whose knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling ability brought the history to life. He was incredibly friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about the subject matter. Eric masterfully connected the stories of pirates, merchants, enslaved laborers, and plantation agriculture into a compelling narrative that highlighted the remarkable cultural tapestry of Charleston and the Lowcountry. I would highly recommend Charleston Pirate Tours to anyone visiting Charleston, and I especially recommend taking a tour with Eric. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious about what makes Charleston so unique, this tour is an unforgettable experience.
