| It's worth about $5.00 not the $18.00 that I paid. The group was too large and just not that interesting.

| The Ghost and Graveyard tour was interesting, but unfortunately the tour guide was not very enthusiastic and it was very hard to hear what she was saying. She was very soft spoken and with the traffic on the streets I had to literally stand right next to her to hear the stories.
I have heard that the jail tour was scary and that people have actually had picutres of orbs on their film. Next time to Charleston we will definitely do the jail tour. |

| My family was very much looking forward to our Ghost Tour. We have done similar tours in New Orleans and we were hoping and expecting the same high quality delivery and story telling. Boy was I disappointed.
Our guide never spoke loud enough for the group to hear and he was asked more than once to please speak more loudly. I could hear his peers with other groups better than I could hear him. He also would provide a historical fact, but when asked more info could not answer. This is a point of contention with me. If you are going to mention a historical figure buried in a cemetary, be prepared to answer more about that person or don't mention the fact. He mentioned a former US VP and when asked when the person served and why he was buried in Charleston, he couldn't provide an answer. This was within the first 10 minutes of the tour, and after that I didn't bother to ask other questions as I figured he couldn't answer.
The stories he told were dull and I think that was due to him, not necessarily the stories themselves. I would not recommend your tours based on my experience. My children were bored -again they were expecting the quality we had in New Orleans. My suggestion to others that might consider this type of tour -take a carriage ride or a water tour, both were more fun and informational. |

| We enjoyed the entertaining commentary, as well as seeing the churches, graveyards, gravestones, and really cool alleyways, background of same, etc.
Pretty good to know of the history of the hotel where WE WERE STAYING, as well!
We saw places and learned things about Charleston that we would NEVER have known without the tour.
Excellent tour guide!

| I thought it was pretty interesting. It wasn't scary by any means, but our guide took us through a graveyard and told us several stories about "ghosts" and the history of the graveyard & church were very interesting. Then we went further around town hearing other interesting tales of ghosts. I would recommend it to anyone, but don't go into it thinking it's going to be really scary!!! |

| This is a great way to provide a sort of alternative experience re: going on a walk at night to classic and historic sites. |

| Hi thought our tourguide Grayson was really great. However, I think that with so many tours going at once it is a little distracting. I also think that Bull Dog Tours could put a little more effort into their presentation and make their guides dress up and be a little more theatrical. I am a regular on these ghost/other tours and the best ones I've been to in the states is in Boston. The very best was the Jack the Ripper Tour in London. These both showed more pictures and elements from history times that helped to put you in the mood and learn a little history. |

| Our Ghost & Graveyard tour was entertaining and enlightening. We would highly recommend it to anyone with teenagers and elementary age children alike. We brought one of each and both had fun. We grown-ups had fun too. |

| There were at least 3 other groups doing ghost tours at the same stops. It would have been scarier if there were fewer people out and about that night. |
