| The things to see on the tour are amazing and interesting, but the guide ruined the trip by droning on and on and on and on. After the first two stops, my wife and I could not stand another minute, so we dashed around a corner and ran away when the guide wasn't looking. The guide could have easily cut her talking time down to a tenth of what it was. Instead of being a fun and exciting trip to some spooky places, it was like a monotonous, endless lecture in an eighth grade history class. |

| Sorry, but this tour was a snooze-fest. Short walk to the first building and then a long history speech - no ghosts. I began to wonder if we would ever go into the building at all. When we did, there was only a couple of long historical stories told - still no ghosts and more of a basement than a dungeon. Very brief ghost story just outside the building and then a short walk to a graveyard. Still more history and a repeat ghost story from another Bulldog Tour. I was very disappointed in this tour and will search a different tour company the next time I visit Charleston. If you're a history buff, you may enjoy this tour. If you're looking for an entertaining ghost tour with bits of history... keep looking. If you ever go to New Orleans, take a ghost tour - they're all fabulous. |

| We took some business associates on the tour to show -off some of Charleston's history. Rebel's passion and enthusiasm were contagious. It was a great tour for all. The night was wet and foggy just adding to our adventure. We learned a lot of trival facts that even those who live here all their lives (over half a century) did not know. Definitely will do more tours in the future. Great Job! Rebel for making this tour memorable. |

Good, but way too short

| The dungeon part was great, but we wished the dungeon part of the tour had been MUCH longer. That was the main reason for taking the tour, but we spent very little time there (maybe 15 minutes). Would definitely take the tour again if we could spend all (or at least 75%) of the time in the dungeon. |

| The tour guide was great but I think the whole tour lacked. Not enought stories and to much walking. The provost dungan was great, seeing chains move really was the high-lite. I caught several things on video that were neat, like a mist that moved past the chains before they started moving. Overall the tour was good, I can't wait to take the Jail tour. We heard there were lots of kool stuff happening there. |

| my husband and I recently relocated here from NY, so we consider ourselves tourists that live here. We had heard that Bulldog Tours was the best and it truly was. We look forward to taking advantage of the other tours from Bulldog in the future. |

| Although I did enjoy the walk through Charleston and the tour of the dungeon the "Ghost" portion was lame at best. Our guide who claimed to have done this for a long time just couldn't tell a story. He would walk us to an alley and tell us stories about what happened here. They were not scary and not believable, and I believe in ghosts.
I wish I had done the Graveyard tour, at least we could have read the headstones. |

| My husband and myself went on the tour on Halloween night and it was so much fun. Our guide Larry was interesting and told wonderful and entertaining stories that everyone in our group enjoyed. We will be returning to Charleston soon to bring our teenaged sons and to take another of the tours Bulldog offers. We definately recommend this activity and don't forget the digital cameras! |

Alot of walking and talking!

| For the price of this tour, it was a very long walk. I expected alot of walking, but also expected to see more. The gentlemen that was our tour guide, tended to go on and on with the same story. 20 minutes for one story that basically kept repeating itself was a bit too much. Seeing the historic dungeon was interesting, but all in all, I didn't care for this and the kids got very bored! This tour is way too long! |

| The description states a tour of graveyards yet we were only bystanders looking in through the gates..... Our tour guide did a good job but sounded as if he were reading a speech for most of the tour. You could tell it was memorized. I'm sure it's hard not to sound that way after doing it 3000+ times, but it kind of took the anticipation out of it!
They should space out all their tours more so they aren't overlapping so much. We were having to wait for a previous tour to finish so we could move on. It caused distraction.
Keep in mind that there are a million distractions going on around that are not controllable so it kind of ruins the "mood".
Not scary at all. We were not impressed. We paid $68 for 4 people and it was NOT worth it. Not even worth half the price. |
