| First, I read other reviews of the Darkside Tour and people were saying they had trouble understanding the guide. We did not experience that trouble. Our tour guide, Braxton, provided us with a fun filled surprising tour. Both of us really enjoyed the interesting facts about Charleston and the individuals that have lived there along with visiting. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want something different and have a good time. |

| I had taken this tour once before with my husband. We really enjoyed the stories. So when my mother and I were going to Charleston I knew that I wanted to take her on this tour. The tour was good but there were many stories that I didn't hear this trip. The last tour guide had a booklet of photos to show and more in depth stories. This trip the stories seemed like they were missing something. And he only told half of what I had gotten on the last trip. My mother was a little disappointed because I had raved about it before. She was expecting more too. I ended up filling in where the tour guide left off. Overall, I would recommend this tour. It could have been the guide that we got. I would go at least one more time. |

| I goofed up the reservation online but the Bulldog staff were very accomodating to change the tour date when I called them last week. Left the kids with my inlaws since this is "rated R". Wife wanted to do a ghost tour but I talked her into doing this one instead since the kids weren't with us. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on the subjects of crime, prostitution and bizarre Charleston history. Who knew such a charming city had such a crazy past?? Wife and I both enjoyed the tour.
FYI - it is RUDE to talk on your cell phone while on tour, even if you stand 15 feet away. |

| It would be better to do this tour in the daytime. Our guide was great, and very knowledgable, but sometimes his accent was difficult to understand. |

| We both enjoyed the tour and learning new things about our city. But the 2 items described as being part of the tour on the website were not part of our tour and as good as our tour guide was, he was difficult to understand and hear sometimes. He had a very calm way of talking but spoke quickly and sometimes ran words together. There was much of what he said that we misssed and I noticed others on the tour straining to understand him as well. But all in all I would recommend the tour. |

| I was expecting something entertaining and exciting... This was to say the least, neither. I guess if you have a good imagination, you would find the history intertaining... For instance, that building over there, used to be a brothel. In this parking lot, someone was tarred and feathered... Not worth the $! |

| The tour was very good. I couldn't hardly understand the tour guide because of his tone of voice and his accent. I wish he would have spoke louder and clearer. |
