Very fun tour!

This was a great way to see Charleston in the evening. Hearing about the residents of the past and seeing the dungeon was very entertaining and a nice bit of unique history. I'd definitely recommend it!

not what we expected

our tour guide walked way too fast for everyone to keep up and it seemed like the majority of the tour was walking. we were only in the dungeon for 10 minutes. it was not worth the money.

Most definitely a disappointment!

Our group of 4 was 2 boys aged 13 and two adults age 45 &40. We paid $18 pp and it was a total waste of money and time! My son had wanted to go on the ghost tours for years, and this was his birthday gift. We are very familiar with the Charleston area and visit often. Never have I been more disaapointed with anything in the city over the past 25 years! The tour guide could not get to the point, and she was quick to tell us that there was no blood an gore--which was not expected. She jokingly said "You boys may want to leave now. This is a historical based tour!" Yes we went to the dungeon of the Exchange building...She told long winded date riddled stories that lost you in the first 10 minutes of meaningless words... you kept awaiting some tale of at least the folklore that is written about in abundance in the city. Never. You walk rapidly to TWO locations and she shows you the most probable faked photo of a ghost in the graveyard. Do not waste your money. Buy a book in one of the local stores about the ghosts of Charleston, and plot your own map! The tour is complete hype and false advertising---Bulldog tours should be called bullsh*t tours instead! "Quite clearly and with that in mind" (the guide said this at least 50 times or more!) THIS IS A RIPOFF!

The best tour I went on in Charleston

I went on two other ghost tours besides this one: Ghosts & Graveyards and Haunted Jail tour. And of all three tours, this one was the best. The tour guide was a life-long Charleston resident by the name of Braxton, I believe. He was very knowledgeable and had kind of a laid back attitude about him, which I like since a lot of tour guides seem kind of stiff and uptight. He was a great storyteller as well. The dungeon was awesome. Braxton(?) let us wander around freely for a few minutes after telling us the history and some of the paranormal experiences that people have had there. All in all, it was a GREAT tour!

We highly recomend the Old Jail Tour! We are paranormal investigators with Charleston Ghost Investigators. We have found TONS of paranormal activity and belive the Old Charleston Jail to be haunted.

Great tour

Our guide was very knowlegeable about the Charleston area and gave good background information. The one and one half hour length of the tour was just about right and we did have time to rest. Overall - enjoyed it very much! Don

good but not exciting

Was interesting, gave some historical data on the area, not "scary" or "spooky" or anything. I might do one of the other tours but probably not this same one again.

Good historical information
Sat, May 2, 09   7:00 PM gmekosh Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
(+) Guide well versed in Charleston history (+) Small group (-) Most of tour was during daylight hours. That couldn't be helped due to our schedule. Recommend taking tours only during nighttime hours (after 9pm in late spring/summer). (-) The tour was more of a history lesson than focusing on accounts of hauntings.

Not enough

The Dungeon tour was short and lame, should have toured the whole building not just one room. The only good part was getting some history from the tour guide

Pleasantly surprised....

First i just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity to make me a believer!! We came into your show as skeptics, as probably 90% of everyone was but still the 10% wanted to believe.. We were cracking jokes and taking photos of thin air hoping to catch something or someone..... The tour lasted nearly 2 hours but we are troopers and hung in there the entire time... Well as we thought, no ghosts or nothing. Not even a unexplained noise the entire time. We were bummed and well thought we had wasted time and money til....... I downloaded our pictures and too our surprise! Those orb things they always talk about on T.V. were right there!! The funny thing about the pictures were my wife was acting like she had her arm around a ghosts and one of the Orbs was just beneath her arm. LOL!!! So thanks again from us EX-non believers of spirits/ghosts. From Asheville N.C., Kenny and Amber Wilson P.S. Do you guys pay for pictures like this for your advertising?? Sorry about the bluntness of that question but you know times are kinda tough and i was just trying to make a buck..=) Thanks again!!
