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.

Really enjoyed the stories on this tour....the dungeon was not to scary but there was a lot of historical value to it.

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.

Okay, but nothing great

Charleston is considered by many to be a very haunted city. As such, and for all the hype that Bulldog puts out, you'd expect to see something scary (other than the menu prices at the local restaurants). If you are a serious ghost hunter, or even half-way interested in a ghostly encounter, save your money. If you want a little exercise and to hear about some of Charleston's history, albeit in a paranormal vein, then go ahead and spend the money. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the local legends, but we never really got to go into any of the "haunted" places except the dungeon. And that was only for about 10 minutes. Okay, so it's a little spooky down there with the lights off. But there's no real talk about apparitions, orbs, mists, or EVP's (if you are unfamiliar with any of those terms, please watch one episode of Ghost Hunters on Sci-Fi), nor is there any attempt to get anything to manifest. Okay, I've already said it so I'll remind myself here for all of our sakes: this is not a ghost hunt! So, the old advise is the best advise: know what you want before you go. If you want to meet a ghost (or at least have a good chance of seeing something ghostly) contact a paranormal research team. If you are in Charleston for vacation and want to get a different version of local history, take the tour. Forewarned is forearmed.

It was interesting

I thought the tour wsa very informative concerning the history of Charleston. The dungeon was pretty cool. This is not a scary tour. It is more about hauntings that are said to be in some of the downtown buildings.

I definitely enjoyed it but of course was hoping to actually see some ghosts. It might be more fun if it was more interactive and people jumped out at you but that is just me I like having the crap scared out of me

Informative Tour

Very informative tour and I would recommend this to my friends who visit Charleston in the future. I plan to go on the Jail Tour next time I'm in town. Our guide was very informative and told many stories, as well as the historical facts of the buildings.

This tour has alot of potential. It could use more stories and more points to tour. The tour guide that we had was very audible and articulate. We felt that for the money we paid, however, we had more walking and less talking.
