| it was my wife and I and 15 year old daughter. she enjoyed it, we had a very good guide but it was more "on the street" than in "dungeons" or buildings. I think that took away from it because of so much going on around, it was difficult to hear the story at times. also, our group kept running into another guides group, that also was distracting. |

Save money and walk around on your own

| This tour was so bogus. After walking around a few blocks it was over. Our guide had to sit down half way through. Didn't see anything we didn't know already. You can go to the library or go online and find the sites your self. |

| Most of the information given had already been presented in a daytime tour earlier that day. Touring the dungeon was okay. The rest was just standing in front of buildings and listening to the guide. I would have preferred to actually go inside some of the "haunted" places. |

| My lack of enthusiasm for this tour is soley a reflection on the actual tour guide, not the content. She was lackluster at best. If this is an indication of who they hire I would def. suggest going to another company for a ghost tour. |

| Ghost tour was interesting and took you to several sites. Recommend comfortable shoes as you cross some cobblestone streets. Some children may have trouble with seeing the graveyards at night, hearing grisly stories of deaths, and hearing of how the ghosts haunt places now, but I enjoyed it. |

Excellent very good.

| All the sights selected were educational historically. Also the narrator was excellent and told the stories with passion. Only one request is that in the Dungeon if the lights could have been turned on to view the manicans would have been nice. |

| We had an excellent tour guide that provided history on Charleston with the "twist" of the ghost stuff. Kids enjoyed and it was an excellent experience. |

| We were unable to go on this tour because of the tropical storm that came through the area. We took other tours though that we enjoyed very much. |

| I've traveled extensively and enjoyed numerous ghost tours. I take ghost tours because they allow the visitor to experience a different side of history. A decent tour guide should be a good storyteller with a flair for the dramatic. Unfortunately, our tour guide provided information without excitement; he told the story. The dungeon visit didn't even up the spine-tingling quotient. It was dark- definitely not spooky. By the end of the tour I was tired not mystified or slightly scared certainly not wondering if the things that go bump in the night could be a spirit from the past searching for a lost loved one or seeking redemption.
After it was complete, I thought that Bulldog Tours might have watered down tours because they were worried about children being scared. If this is the case, they should have a separate tour for children and parents or not allow children on the late tours (9:30pm). If you want a night-time walk with stories then I'd recommend this tour. If you want to be entertained or convinced that there could be spirits, don't bother. |
