| My husband and I enjoyed The Ghost and Dungeon Tour very much. Our guide was interesting, knowledgeable, and a very good story-teller. This tour certainly lent a new perspective to semi-familiar sites (and sights). Highly recommended for entertainment AND historical-background value. |

| We had a great time. Didn't even notice when the hour passed. There is not much walking involved so don't worry about being too strenuous. We did the tour right after dinner so it worked out perfectly for our siesta.
The best part of the tour was listening to our guide telling the ghost stories. He was very, very talented. You could close your eyes and feel like you're back in history in the 1700s and 1800s. The Dungeon visit was the cherry on the cake!
One think that bother me a little was the amount of cameras flashes right on my eyes most of the time. You were highly encouraged to take as many photos as you can just in case a ghost shows up on your photo! So if you take the night tour be prepared to feel like you are under paparazzi. We just sit few steps back most of the time to deal with it.
Loved our guide (unfortunately can't remember his name). He wore a yellow jacket.
Bottom line best evening entertainment for just $16. See for yourself.

| We were out on the street and in a parking lot for a total of four stops and four long stories. Dungeon was interesting, but we didn't even see the whole thing. There was a whole other side that we didn't get to look at.
Did not do justice to the great number of ghost stories and historic sites in the downtown area. |

| Overall we enjoyed our experience, however, i felt like the tour guide went into too much detail and spent a lot of time at each location. In 2 hours we only got 3 ghost stories, as opposed to other tours I have been on where there are multiple stories which make it more interesting. At the first stop he told an intensly detailed ghost story during which he recounted a labor story experienced by the main character. however he couldn't know that myself and my friend are both labor and delivery nurses, and the details he told in the story didn't make any medical sense. And that of course leads you to wonder what else has been embellished.
Anyway, bottom line - less details - more stories :-) |

| This was a very fun, very interesting tour. Our guide was very strong with the historical details of Charleston. It was very helpful to have a good idea of other things that were happening in the country/world in relation to the particular ghost story we were hearing. The access to the dungeon and graveyard were, to our knowledge, exclusive and very interesting. Nothing quite like seeing these things in the dark of night. A very good time, and worth the small investment! |

| The tour provided our group with some specifics about three locales in downtown Charleston.
As I recall it two of the three stops weren't particularly "ghostly'' in nature, as promo suggests. They did leave quite a bit to the imagination, though.
We did go back to St. Phillips' Episcopal Church graveyard and found the burial places of Sue Hardy and her stillborn child. The photo shown by the tour guide made us want to explore the graveyard itself.
Don't remember the guide's name - we went on the tour Tuesday evening, Oct. 30 - but she was quite good. . |

| This was my first trip to Charleston and I had an amazing time. The one thing I wanted to do while in Charleston was to take a "Ghost Tour". I really didn't know what to expect but thought it would be fun. Although we didn't see any ghosts - that we know of - the history and the guide we had were amazing. I have already been talking about doing another Bulldog Tour there soon. Thank you so much for the excellent customer service and the excellent tour guide - I will definitely recommend to many of my friends!
