Our tour guide, Susan, was enthusiastic with her story telling. We stopped at several different spots to learn about the ghosts of Charleston and why they might still be haunting the area. The best part of the tour was seeing the inside of the Dungeon. |

Our tour guide Tad was very enthusiastic and funny. Our group included children aged 6, 10, and 11 and they loved it, but there was a young girl in the tourgroup (not with us) who got upset by some of the stories... so it's touch and go about whether kids should go. It was a fantastic tour and super fun!! A lot of walking but worth it! |

I enjoyed the trip, however I wish we would have had a little more picture taking time.
I tour guide David was great, but a little long winded and seemed to have made some stories less interesting they ought the be.
If I had to recommend this tour to anyone. My recommendation would be to go ahead book yourself. This is a great tour with lots of interesting twists and stories. Please take your time taking pictures. I know I did and my group managed to catch some wild photos of unexplained orbs, black mists, and a yellowish figure in the Dungeon. |

This was our second ghost tour in Charleston. We had such a great time on the first that we had to do it again. The first tour was with a company who doesn't have access to go inside some of the places so we decided that we would use Bulldog tours for that reason. We had high hopes for the Dungeon, but were greatly disappointed. During this tour we heard basically the same stories as the first ghost tour we went on which was quite frustrating....there has got to be more that 5 ghost stories for all of Charleston!! Our tour guide was quite unenthusiastic and seemed like she couldn't wait until it was over so that she could head home. During a couple of the stories I wanted to jump in and add information that we heard on the tour we took with the other company. I would just say to people undecided on whether or not to take a ghost tour of Charleston, Do It!!!!!!!!! It is an awesome history lesson on an amazing city and there are some downright creepy things going on. I just would consider other companies because the tour guide is everything and ours was really not good! |

My family, yes...even my fifteen-year-old daughter, enjoyed our first ghost tour! Susan was very knowledgeable about the history of all of the ghost stories that she shared with our group. My husband and I especially liked how she included our nine-year-old son. He was the youngest member of our group and she allowed him to carry the meter. She made him feel just as important as all of the adults and she made sure that he wasn't scared by the ghost stories...she let him know that although they are true stories...they are also history. My daughter and I both have digital pictures of orbs throughout several spots on our tour...how cool!
As a family, we have already agreed that when we return to Charleston...we will be returning to Bulldog Tours for the jail tour next! |

It was a waste of money. Our tour guide was a very nice girl but she was not a very good guide. Way too "hokey". She would be a good giude for children but not adults.The tour was not scary in the least and should be a childrens' tour in the future. You could get these stories from any local on the street. |

Our tour guide was great. I would recommend wearing good walking shoes as the cobblestone streets can be a little rough! The dungeon and cemetary at St. Michael were very creepy. This tour will send shivers up your spine! |

Our tour guide Susan B. (I think) was very knowledgeable but didn't keep us interested. The dungeon was the first place we went but it was more or less just a cellar, nothing spooky about it! After that we continued on down the street with more ghost stories. Although Susan knew the history she was boring so we ended up skipping out on the last half. |

The group consisted of about 20 people. The tour began promptly at 7:00. The first sight we visited was the dungeon. We were given a brief history of some of the pirates that were captured in Charleston. Later, we took a walking tour to various buildings in the area and a graveyard. The most memorable story was about the young girl who died two days before her wedding. The guide told several stories about different people. |
