| Another tour guide may have improved the tour, but I would not recommend it. The ghost tour was somewhat interesting, but when your guide takes you to an alley and tells you the story behind it's "hauntings" and says he is too scared to go down it so we could come back on our own - it is 1) too cheesy if that is their standard line, and 2) ridiculous because that is what we paid for. |

| As a family with young children, this tour was wonderful. The guide told interesting stories that were not too scarey for the young children. We went at 7 so there was still daylight in the summer. Very enjoyable and not too much walking. |

| I enjoyed the ghost tour, I think it's a must do in Charleston. 1st of all, there isn't much else going on in the evening (besides the fantastic restaurants) if you aren't into the bar scene. It was great for me because I got into Charleston in the evening!! I thought my tour guide could have been a little better, but I don't want to pass judgement on all of the tours out of there... my tour guide took us out for longer the the 90 minute limit, but that was to make up for some of the off topic stories. Like I said, I think with another tour guide, I would have had more focus on the ghosts than his personal life! |

| With the dungeons and ghosts tour I would like to spend more time in the dungeon and be able to go in the customs house as well not just the dungeon. Other than that good stories and nice walk in the city. |

Not worth the money!

| This was our second vacation in the Charleston area. This time we brought our entire family and had them all excited to do a famous Charleston Ghost Tour. We had done one a couple years ago with another company and really enjoyed it. After asking around and checking the Internet, we decide upon the Bulldog Tour Group. We bought 11 tickets online and showed up in anticipation of an exciting evening. Unfortunately, our tour was less than exciting. The tour guide spent all his time telling us stories without showing us much of any of the haunted sites except for the dungeon. Aside from the dungeon experience, which was cool to go through, the rest of the tour was very disappointing to us. We felt cheated out of the $16 or so we paid for each ticket. Therefore, I would have to give this tour a very low rating, as I wish we would have picked another group and tour to go with. |

High Price for Storytelling

| Our tour guide was energetic with his storytelling. The three of us in our group were not thrilled at all with the lack of gore or scare factor! This tour was not worth the price that we paid. |

I recommend to do at least once, not twice

| The tour was nice enough. My two children and I enjoyed different aspects of the evening. I would have rather heard more about the local ghosts and not so much about our tour guides personal ghostly encounters. My children, on the other hand, enjoyed her tales quite a bit. With all the other walking tours going on at the same time, we were disappointed when we were unable to approach one of the sites we had stopped to discuss (which was a graveyard). When we returned to the city to find it the next day, we could not. However, Charleston at night was lovely and the walks by the many different galleries was splendid. For a one time experience, I would recommend it to anyone. For us, I will probably not feel it is worth the cost to do again. |
