| We had purchased tickets on line prior to our visit to Charleston, SC. It was for a 9 pm tour on a Wednesday night. It had started to rain pretty hard when our tour started and several people were dropping off the tour right up front due to not wanting to walk around in pouring down rain. However, we had spent $36 dollars for two of us and we did not want to waste that money, so we stuck it out. We enjoyed the tour itself and the information provided (our tour guide, Barbara I think was her name, she was from Canada, was WONDERFUL at the story telling). The only thing I would recommend for future patrons is if you think it is going to rain at all, bring your own umbrella as they do not cancel tours due to weather (it was thundering and lighting and still did not cancel). I would also recommend to the bulldog tour company that perhaps they should offer umbrellas for rent (say $15 dollars, which another company has done, then if the customer does not return this umbrella, you are not out any money, if they return, then you can refund their money), or provide rain ponchos like the tour guide was wearing the night of our tour, for a charge of $5 (or whatever reasonable cost). Other than that, it was a very pleasant experience. |

| The tour was fun and historical. It wasn't as spooky as I thought it would be. I think it was the delivery of the dialogue that made it not as spooky. I did enjoy going down to the dungeon. I learned some stories I didn't know about before. I had fun. |

Very Interesting and fun experience

| Myself and my fiancee' are big on ghost stories and history, especially the Civil War. We found this tour to be an exceptionally enlightening experience and would definitely go back. The your guide, Janice, was very knowledgable and answered all questions without hesitation with very good answers and no guesswork. We will be using Bulldog again when we are back in Charleston. |

| An evening walking tour with Bulldog was an excellent way for my friends and me to enjoy the town, history, and legends of Charleston. Our tour guide was friendly and knew her stuff. I will look into taking another tour next time I am in town, but perhaps through a different company because I found cheaper tickets. |

| The tourguide was quite friendly and appeared knowledgeable about the history of the area - however, his pattern of talking was hard to follow at times and we very often lost track of all he was saying. Furthermore, we were under the impression that there would be more substance to the tour and that was lacking for us. To be honest, this is not something we would recommend to our friends in the future. |

| We really enjoyed our tour. Our guide, Barb, was very well-informed and entertaining to listen to. We caught some orbs on camera down in the dungeon! Will definitely be back to take the grave yard tour next year! |

| This tour was amazing. It took us to the deepest and darkest places in Charleston. Considering that, I would not recommend it for children, but if you are a family with teenagers, I could see it becoming a hit with your kids. I believe that anyone under the age of 14 should be allowed to take this tour.
Another disclaimer: if you have very bad allergies, you might want to consider not taking this tour. One part of this tour takes you to a dank, mildewed dungeon. As to me personally, I have problems with allergies, and I found this part of the tour to be troublesome on my system.
If you are not under the age of 14 and you are not bothered much by allergies, take this tour! It was amazing. The stories the tourists tell are filled with both the history of Charleston and the spooks that haunt it. A very good tour whether you believe in ghosts or not. |

| The tour was very interestesting. I learned alot from it. The only frustration is that there was more walking than talking. They didn't tell stories from location to location. The only stories we got were when we reached each location. I still loved it though. The dungeon was cool. |

| Our tour and its guide were fantastic. The tour itself was very enjoyable and the tour guide was obviously knowledgable about the area and its history, as well as enthusiastic. He was even nice enough to walk us to the area of our parking garage because we were unsure of how to get back. I would definitely take this tour again and request the same guide. |
