Decent tour but a little over the top, longwinded

| The historical information and stories provided in the tour were great. But our guide took such a long time telling each one that I got bored. One example was about 10 minutes spent on a story about Annabelle Lee (and Edgar Allen Poe). That story could have been told in under a minute to the same effect. Our tour guide was very nice, but his presentation was a little too over the top for me in terms of the "hushed, I'mma gonna whisper this and ooo, do you hear something? there are spirits all around us now and you know they're watchin' and listenin'" vibe. There may be people that like that. Some people on our tour in fact did seem to be eating it up, so maybe I'm more a skeptical, "tell me the facts/trivia and let's keep moving" type of person. My overall recommendation would be to include more content and less hullaballoo. |

| Neil was our guide and he was great. He knew lots of ghost stories and made it very interesting. The only problem is that now I want to do more research on Charleston historym. I would highly recommend it. |

| We had a big group and all ordered our tickets seperately on-line so some of us were not able to be in the same group for the tour. It would have been useful if we would have known this before hand so we could have all purchased our tickets together and been in the same tour group. |

Disappointing; Not Nearly As Good As Previous Tour

| I have done this tour with Bulldog Tours once before, but it was my husband's first time. Compared to the first tour, which was great, this one was quite a disappointment. The tour guide, Neil, was very knowledgeable but could have done things a bit differently to make it much more enjoyable. For example, every time he was finished speaking/telling, he just walked off leaving us in the group staring at each other wondering if he was done and whether or not to follow him as he walked away. Perhaps if he said something such as: "OK, now we are going to head over to the oldest church in the city and walk around the graveyard." Many in the group had cameras but he didn't offer info as to the best way to take pictures (leave flash on or off?), and to take consecutive pictures standing in one spot that would show orbs. Since we took the tour on a full moon, that would have been the ideal time to emphasize the haunted aspect of the tour as opposed to informing us of history facts.
When the tour was completed, he sat down on a ledge and didn't tell us where we were or how to get back to where we started. He did offer to answer any questions about restaurants, though. Since none of us knew where we were, we had to ask HIM where in the heck we were and how in the heck did we get back. |

| The city is so old and there ha to be more ghost stories and tragic happenings then the ones told by our guide. The guide was talking about stories in Edisto Island. Why? |

| Both my daughter and I had a great time wondering with our guide into some pretty creepy graveyards. Our guide was a retired teacher and was well versed in Charleston lore. |

| We took my son and five friends on the tour for his 12th birthday and they had a blast!
Everyone brought cameras and they had so much fun taking pictures of the ghosts! The tour guide was great and we would do it again!!!! |
