I was very excited about going on this tour as it was my first ghost tour/darkside tour I had ever attended. I was disappointed in that the tour guide was very hard to hear and understand. He was not very attentive to the outside noises that happened around us that took away from his vocals of history. The most interesting part of the tour was the graveyard tour. I felt the tour lacked enthusiasm, although, the knowledge of the guide and his historical facts were quite vast. It would have helped to be able to hear and understand him better.

Our guide was excellent! She took us around town and told us tales that would curl your toes! It was amusing and fun even in the pouring down rain! Don't go if you are offended easily with sexual terms, but this was great! I would highly recommend this tour to all adults!

This is not a ghost tour. It is a history tour, but it was really great. I enjoyed every minute and only wished it could have lasted longer. Definitely a must if you're visiting Charleston and if you like the darker side of history!

My husband and I had a wonderful time on this tour. Lane was our tour guide...he is one of Charleston's hidden treasures!! I learned so much more than I had expected and it was very interesting. Lane made sure that everyone got all their questions answered and addressed all of our interests. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to really learn about the darker side of the Holy City.

Great Historical Tour

We had Lane for this tour and I would love to do another tour with him to "pick his brain" on all of the incredible and accurate knowledge he has of his hometown. His southern style just added to the enjoyment. Unfortunately, there were several college-ish age people on our tour who were not as into the history (not enough edge and smut I guess) and would have done better with a ghost tour. This is definately for history buffs who want a little more of the guts of the story. I know I would have enjoyed it more with a more mature group that respected the knowledge that was being imparted to them, so any negetivity I felt about the tour had nothing to do with Lane or Bulldog Tours. This is our forth tour with Bulldog and they have always been fantastic. Many different styles and Lane is one of the best. A bit tricky to understand with my "yankee ear" but as I said, that just added so much to the ambienc of the storytelling. Excellent and we will be back!

We very much enjoyed the Darkside of Charleston Tour. We had also taken the Ghost and Graveyards tour two days earlier and were somewhat disappointed by our guide. Big difference on the Darkside tour. We have been on several ghost walks in other cities and have found no matter what tour you take your experience is always determined by the guide
