Word on the street
What locals are saying
Locals and frequent visitors consistently rate the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon as one of Charleston's most genuinely worthwhile paid historic attractions, not just a tourist trap — largely because the guided dungeon tour is led by knowledgeable, engaging guides who cover piracy, the slave trade, and Revolutionary War imprisonment in real depth. The underground Provost Dungeon is the standout draw, though reviewers caution it can feel claustrophobic and unsettling for young children. Upper-floor exhibits are seen as informative but slightly dated, with some wishing for more interactive displays.
