| We were concerned that our 7 and 10 year old girls would get scared... not even close. There was not one story that I can recall or would repeat.
At the last stop of the tour the guide says "that's all folks" and points you towards Market Street. They do not take you back to the starting point. My feeling is that they are concerned that the next set of customers will see the disappointment on your face.
Maybe I was expecting too much, but I would chose other ways to spend my time and money in the future. |

| This was a very interesting tour with several very good stories. The trip to the dungeon was an unusual experience and very worthwhile. There was quite a bit of walking which seemed to cut down on the time for the stories. |

| We thought there would be more substance to the Ghost and Dungeon tour. The guide was good for what he had to work with, but there wasn't much to it. They stand you outside a graveyard for way too long making way too big a deal about a "real" photo of a ghost and then bring you to a dungeon and then bring you to the waterfront and tell way too long of a story. There wasn't much of anything about the city as we were walking. Just 3 stops with long, kinda boring stories. More of a standing around tour than a walking tour.
I've done a similiar type walking tour in Savannah and it was so much more interesting.

| The Charleston Ghost and Dungeon Tour provided exactly what we were looking for. Nicely complete 90 minute tour. Held the interest of our college sophmore and our 7th grader. |

| This was a fun tour full of wonderful information about old Chaleston,Our guide was very well versed, told a spell-binding story, ad was able to scare the bee-gee-bees out of most of us.I had my seven year old grand-daughter with us and she had some great entries in her journal for that evening. I will be moving to the area very soon and will go on this tour again.Lots of fun and again, very worthwhile |

| 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. |
