| We enthusiastically signed up for a Halloween Ghost & Graveyard tour. Our excitement waned during a 60 (instead of the advertised 90) minute walk with only 3 stops/stories. The tour abruptly ended at the Unitarian Church Graveyard, leaving us more than 1/2 mile from our start point with vague directions back to where we started. Our guide was nice and a good story-teller. There was a lot of fluff around the stories - the core part was slim. |

Great way to spend Halloween

| We decided over a year ago to have our own Halloween party. We'd spent many years enjoying handing out candy to trick or treaters and decided the next time we'd do something for ourselves. So, this is what we chose to do and we weren't disappointed! We'll probably do it again next year. As much as we enjoyed handing out candy, this was much better. We're all transplants and the history learned in our city was wonderful. It was so meaningful to have learned it from another person, as opposed to reading it in a book. Our guide did a wonderful job. I'd recommend this as an alternative for kids and adults alike. |

| Eric was our tour guide. He was enthusastic and had wonderful stories. A little girl in our tour group was terrified. I thought the stories about the people from history were very interesting, sad, and informative. I enjoyed the graveyard tour and would reccommend it to anyone looking for something fun and different to do. |

| The story telling was superb! The stories themselves were quite historical and frightening. I even firmly believe I encountered a ghost inside the St. Phillip cemetery! I would, with out a doubt, highly recommend this tour to any one, local or tourist! |

| I have been on a couple of the tours offered by Bulldog. My favortie is the jail tour hands down. This graveyard tour was ok, I just wished we would have spent more time actually in the graveyard instead of walking around Charleston. It does have alot of history involved but the history is necessary to understand why the areas are "haunted". It would have just been a little better if the graveyard tour was actually spent in the graveyard instead of just the final 15 minutes of the tour. I do, however, stongly recommend this tour company to anybody that asks me about Charleston tours. |

| Our tour guide, Brooke, was great!! Good stories with alot of detail to set the mood. We would do another ghost tour if we get back to Charleston. The history background was an added plus. We went back to some of the locations the next day just to see and experience it again! Thankyou for a fun and informative 90 minutes! |

| For this kind of tour to work, it must be a more quiet setting. There were 3 or 4 other groups in the same cemetary and it was very noisy. You could hear the other tour leaders talking. You go on these tours to be scared but with so many people it just did not work. However, our tour leader was great and had a lot of great stories. It was difficult to hear him sometimes over the noise. All of the ghosts were in hiding! |

| Not only do you visit gravesites and places that are known to be haunted...you get a great history lesson of the city of Charleston. Our tour guide was Neil and he was great! |

| I've been on ghost tours in Charleston before but with other companies. I was very disappointed in the quality of the story telling on this particular tour. The guide attempted to re-enact stories in an overly dramatic fashion instead of just retelling the ghost tales. I would recommend that the tour guides adopt more professionalism. I noticed other guides carrying a lantern or some other item to denote that they were the guide. Ours just looked like another tourist with a tiny flashlight. |
