| Even though our leader was very sweet and knowledgable this tour was boring and a total waste of time and money. There was only one mention of a ghost and the entire rest of the tour was on the history of a church and how headstones were made. Not at all what is advertised. |

| I took the Ghost and Graveyard tour on a Monday (08/31/09) night at 9:30. Our tour guide was very good. He was a guy probably in his mid-late 20s, but I can't remember his name. Not only did he tell good ghost stories, but he knew a lot about the history of Charleston. The main part of the tour was spent in the graveyard. You walk to different places in the graveyard and around town. Once you get to the spot, the guide will tell you a ghost story. He was good with answering all questions. He also told some random facts about Charleston during the walk. He was interested to hear what activities my mom and I were doing while visiting and offered a little insight. I think its better to take the 9:30 tour than the 7:30 tour b/c its completly dark and adds some creepiness to the tour..haha. Some ppl complained of bugs, but I wore pants and was fine. Bring your camera and take some pictures. You never know what you may catch!
Overall it's a good tour and I recommend others to take it. I would also take other tours by this company if the opportunity arose. |

| We had a great guide -- he told some wonderful stories and kept the group involved throughout the entire walk -- but there wasn't anything really scary about it......
...would have been better if there were less people in the group. We had 17 people, and it took a long time for everyone to catch up when it was time for the guide to talk. |

Well worth the hour and a half and $$$$$

| My sister and I had watched the Ghost Hunters regarding Charleston and we were very anxious to go on this tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgable about the "goings on" at each site. We enjoyed it very much. |

| Kids drove me nuts begging to take the tour and I begrudgingly gave in. Turns out, the tour was actually fun and the kids had a blast (ages 9 & 11). Wasn't "haunted house" kind of scary but a few of the stories were kind of spooky/thought provoking. Glad we chose the tour that gets to go into the graveyard as there were a couple of other ghost companies that had to stand outside the gates. Kids kept us up 'til midnight with their ghostly insights. |

Excellent Tour!

| Guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Very entertaining and worthwhile. One of the best tours of this type I have taken! |
|
I'd go just to get into the graveyard.

| As they advertise, Bulldog is the only tour company that gives you access to a local graveyard, which is great. Other than getting into the graveyard, the tour just wasn't as good as I expected. There are about 5 other groups from misc tour companys at the same place at any given time and they are all giving various versions of the same story or different stories. I think the majority of the problem was our tour guide, who was a little pixieish girl. Her stories were not historically accurate and her delivery wasn't really good enough for a ghost and graveyards guide. It was a neat walking tour of the city, pointing out a few churches and seeing the graves at night, but don't expect scary stories. |

Other tours are probably better than Bulldog

| This tour is interesting however we had a 20-something tour guide who studdered and botched stories the whole time. Only went to 3 locations and actually was quite bored. It's more historical than intriguing but the lack of facts kind of made it seem cheesy. I think the Ghost Hunt tour by candle light would have been better-this was too main stream...my group was bored. |
