The Charleston Ghost and Graveyard Tour

Excellent guide, good locations, great service

We had a wonderful time. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. Glad the group was not too large. Would enjoy a bit smaller, but had a great time anyway. Thank you for such a great time. Can't wait to bring my friends.

I was nervous going with my three children (ages 10,8,6). All five of us had a great time and enjoyed our navigator. We all are still retelling the stories. It is a perfect night for ALL ages!

We had some family in town the week of Halloween and wanted to show them a good time. We went bar-hopping before the tour as to make it a little more interesting. The grave tour was awesome as you can't enter graves at night unless you are with Bulldog Tours. We had a blast and I would definitely reccommend it. Also, there were no whiny children!

We had a nice tour group size (only 14 people) with a very good guide (Stephen, I think, was his name). He was personable and kept the group quite engaged. I would definitely recommend this tour.

First off we were advised to arrive a minimum of 15 minutes before our 7:30 tour time and then were made to wait for over a half hour - tour did not start on time as they promised it would. There were 3 tours leaving at same time and it was confusing and unprofessionally handled. There were about 20 people on our tour, which in my opinion was was too many -- and I resented that as a tall person the guide kept telling me to move to the back, as if being tall allowed me to see anything he was talking about that was on the ground. The graveyard we were bought to was better lighted than most of historical Charlston and about as scary as a box of Cheerios. The guide - a middle-aged male - had a monotone voice and no energy whatsoever. I have taken tours on this and prior visit to Charleston and was impressed that on both of the carriage tours and the harbor tours I took the guides generated excitement about the historical content of the tours and were easily making the attendees laugh and become engaged with the material -- and these other guides were highly knowledgeable. To top it off my sister and I felt really rushed from the start since we practically jogged to the graveyard from the tour's office and kept moving at a quick pace -- most likely because there was another tour entering while we were still in the graveyard. If you really want a fright look at the bill after an expenisve Charleston hotel stay or even a nice meal out. If you want history stick with one of the carriage or walking tours. This tour just completely sucked and we felt like stupid ripped off tourists.

It was a fun tour full of history and facts. The tour guide was good. She knew her stuff. I would have to say that I was glad to have experienced it but once is enough.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept everyone's attention very well. In the past I have been on many ghost tours in Charleston and this was by far the best one. He even stopped to tell stories and let everyone get in place before he started talking. He also paused for loud traffic or passersby, which with other tours never happened. Other ones would try and talk while they walked or would try to talk through the noise, but this one didn't. I heard a few stories I had never heard before and learned a lot. It was great, I will do it again!

I didn't see any real ghosts during the graveyard tour of Charleston, but I had a great time tromping around the graveyards of Charleston. And they really do have exclusive access to the ecumenical graveyard. Some guy was ready to chase us off until he recognized our guide, and said "Oh, it's you." The tale about the ghost who "likes" pregnant women was especially interesting. :-D

Much of the 90-minute tour was spent walking -- at times quite briskly to keep up. Some of the walking was a bit difficult, crossing dark cobblestone streets and then trying not to trip over uneven ground, rocks, and even pieces of graveyard headstones. If you are at all unsteady on your feet, this tour is not for you! The tourguide was friendly enough and has been doing this for a number of years. Some of the historical information he shared was interesting; but some of it conflicted with information we heard from other tourguides. As the tour was at night, and right around Halloween, I expected a few more "ghost" stories and a higher degree of spookiness. Overall, we were disappointed and felt a little more effort could have had better results.
