Terrible experience

We were so incredibly dissapointed with our tour. The guide mumbled the entire tour, was asked to speak up so we could hear him and continued to mumble. It was a miserable 1 1/2 hrs. We even contemplated mid- tour leaving the group to try another. At the end, he left us in a parking lot and we weren't even sure the tour was ov er. It was an unfortunately bad experience.

DO NOT USE BULLDOG TOURS

Before I booked with Bulldog, I read some of the reviews and found a fair amount of negative ones, but I was optimistic and just chalked the negative ones up to people having too high expectations. Unfortunately, I can no longer say that that is the case. I had very low expectations, I just wanted a number of "ghost" stories relating to Charleston and maybe some local history thrown in. Even with these expectations, I was greatly disappointed. I think they told maybe three stories over the entire 90 minute tour and some of them had nothing to do with Charleston (e.g., they spent half an hour on a story that had to do with an entirely different city that happened to have a grave stone similar to one we were looking at in Charleston). Moreover, other stories were clearly just cobbled together from parts of well-known campfire ghost stories that are told around the world, yet the company pretended like they were unique to Charleston and happened there. Bottom line, I'm sure there are fun and entertaining tour companies in Charleston, but this is clearly not one of them.

Couple enjoys Charleston Graveyard Ghost Tour

We really enjoyed the tour of the Charleston Graveyards. The guide was very informative and knowledgeable of the history of Charleston and it's resident ghosts. The only problem we really incurred was we couldn't hear the tour guide very well. He had done the tour the night before in the rain and was losing his voice. The guide even had pictures to show us of the ghosts he was talking about. We really enjoyed doing the tour and plan to visit Charleston this fall and do another tour with this company.

We went on the ghost tour in Charleston not knowing what to expect. We were very pleasantly surprised but won't give away details. Highly recommend! Carrolls from California

Was Good Entertainment

The tour was informative as far as the history of Charleston. The guide seemed to know many interesting tidbits. The walk was at a pretty comfortable pace and not too long in length. Although you couldn't really see much in the dark, some of the sites were interesting to see. We didn't see any ghosts, but we really didn't expect to. We did this tour really just for the entertainment aspect of it. An avid ghost hunter would probably be disappointed. The only thing we didn't like about the tour was that the guide ended up tour abruptly in the middle of Charleston - 3-1/2 blocks away from where we started. He basically said if we needed directions to get back where we started, to ask him. I thought this was a bit ridiculous considering it was 11pm!!

Disappointed

This tour wasn't as good as I'd hoped for. We had a nice storm right before to set the mood but the stories weren't that believable or interesting. The graveyard was so cramped. I'd thought we'd see specific graves and hear specific stories about the famously buried. There just wasn't anything that jumped out and really caught our interest. I wouldn't go again or recommend this one. Go to the jail instead!

A Great Way To Learn The Darker Side of Charleston

We were on the ghost walking tour that started out a little wet by a quick passing storm. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had a very nice since of humor that keeped us focused and laughing. We were very pleased with the tour and was glad it wasn't made up to have things jumping out at you. We would be disappointed if it had seemed staged in any way. Our tour guide was nice enough to give us a extra story because of the delay the rain had caused. It is a tour we would definitly take again.
