We were all very excited to go on the Dungeon walking ghost tour in Charleston. We got there and the lady slaughtered my name in a rude way and we got broken down into smaller groups. In our group was one younger adult female that was video taping the walk. That was OK, but she was chewing tobacco and every 15 seconds she would spit it and it was loud enough to break the mood for all in the group. We walked very fast to the dungeon being we were the first group out and we walked in. Seemed to me that there should have been a little build up to get people in the mood a little, a story or two prior. During the story we were getting in the dungeon, a lot of noise was heard upsatirs in the building, when asked the guard said it was the caterers bringing their equipment in for a function that evening. Between that and the spitting .. ruined. Then we went on the walking tour. A few good stories were shared and this would have been beneficial prior to the dungeon tour, but I understand. It is a problem that as the guide is speaking, telling a good story on a person that died that might be haunting the area, the bar next to us playing Margaritaville ... mood killer, added on top of that the load spitting. The guide did the best she could, but at times it was very difficult to hear her. I have been on business tours where you wear a headset and you can hear the guide. Overall expereince was OK, alot of factors outside of the tour companies control, but I would not recomend that tour. I would however try another tour from Bulldog, perhaps the graveyard tour, if it is longer than I remember it being and if it is out of the way a little so you can get the right "feeling". Lastly, we were disappointed that we could not buy a tee shirt or sweatshirt with the "Ghost Tour" on it. My kids were looking forward to one of those. |

The tour is not what I expected. The stories were lack luster (they are stories.....embellish!!! Who will know the difference?) and I got nothing from hearing them on a busy corner or a parking lot. I walked away thinking that i just took this walk during the day and saw the same things. I wanted creepy, goose bump stories that are down dark side streets that a tourist wouldn't normally go. When it was done, I felt that i wasted the night and my money. |

The tour was alright but it was basically the same information you could read in a book in any store. Other than the stories, you just walked around the streets of Charleston and the tour guide pointed out certain things and that was about it. Our tour guide did not even tell stories relevant to the location we were at and constantly bragged about how good of a tour guide she was - which she was not. So, overall, I do not recommend this tour at all. |

The guide offered good historical information but of the 3 or 4 stories, I would only consider 1 of them a "ghost" story. I would have enjoyed it more had we been shown landmarks, then told about accounts that others have given in relation to ghost/"spirit "sightings. |

I thought the tour was not impressive . It was long winded and dull. Charleston is a wonderful city, with many ghost tales, and to be bored on a ghost tour was not what I or my group expected.

We enjoyed the tour very much and the story teller did a very good job at describing events and happenings in the area and places supposedly haunted. However, we had expected to see more of the dungeon than just the one little room.... surely there was more since that was the only place the town kept criminals. Even so, it was very enjoyable and I would recommend it to friends but would tell them not to expect too much of a "tour" of the dungeon. |

Great time |

For my boyfriend and my first time to Charleston I decided I wanted to make it special and purchased tickets for the Ghost and Dudgeon Tour. That was the best decision ever. We had so much fun hearing the ghost stories and walking around the city. The tour guide was well informed and very nice, he did an awesome job. I loved it so much, and my boyfriend did too. I told everyone the great time we had and that they should go on a tour themselves. |

Interesting but not very exciting |

I enjoyed the tour but just feel it could have been better if we had visited more than just the dungeon. Our guide took us just out to sit near the water and told a story and then to an alleyway. She was good just not very convincing about her stories. |

Fun and Interesting |

You could tell that our guide was really interested in providing a good time. She had done her research and knew the stories well. She even carried a backpack with copies of materials that she had found in doing her research. I had gone with my eight year-old son, who was really interested in hearing stories of pirates. He was not disappointed! |

My husband and I enjoyed the ghost and dungeon tour. Rebel Sinclair, our tour guide, was very personable and entertaining. The ghostly stories were equally gruesome and eerie.
Thanks!
