WHAT: Old South Private Tours . . .
Our private tours encompass General History Tours, Sinner’s & Ghost Tours. We will be happy to customize these touring options into a unique combination of subject matter that fits your interests and curiosities.
Private Tours are available Monday - Saturday
We may accommodate 4-30 guests for a private tour. The City of Marion restricts walking groups to 30 guests per group. If you have more than 30 guests we’ll be happy to split the group into two.
All of our tours are outside and are 100% walking.
Vehicle transportation to and from tours are the guest’s responsibility.
Tours will continue in a light rain. If we must cancel a tour due to bad weather, you may book for another day or request a refund.
Tours are not refunded within 24 hours of your tour’s starting time.
We suggest booking your private tour on a non-travel day. We don’t wish for you to stress the balance of possible travel delays and enjoying your tour experience.
Please arrive 10 minutes before your tour begins for easy check-in and to begin on time. Due to our busy schedule, if you’re running late for your private tour please call the office to let us know. If hosts have not heard from you, they will give you a 15-minute window to arrive before leaving the meeting location. Refunds will not be granted after the host leaves. We thank you in advance for your consideration of your host’s time.
