Everyone enjoyed the tour

We had a group of 9 people to do the haunted jail tour. The ages ranged from 50 down to 9. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The history was very interesting and the guide we had was great she really added alot by the way she presented herself and explained everything. We visit Charleston every fall also and plan to do another one of the tours then. Keep up the great work.

My 10 year old grandson and I both enjoyed this tour very much. It was informative and exciting. My grandson is hoping he will have caught some ghosts on film!

Interesting, but somewhat disappointing

The jail tour is interesting, but overpriced. We went after dark and there were no lights in there at all. Some dim lighting would have enabled us to see some of the detail in the building. Our guide had some good stories, but they were mostly just stories, not necessarily based on historical fact. Overall, I'm glad we went, but it was nearly $80 for my family of four, which is pretty pricey for 45 minutes in a dark building.

Too expensive for such a short tour
Sat, Apr 5, 08   8:00 PM PamelaMcCann Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
I paid for eleven (11) people to tour the old jail cell. I was as well as many in my group very disappointed in the price paid per person for the amount of visual experience - it was only a few rooms and they were under excavation taking away from any "haunted" feeling...the tour guide was wonderful and provoking...we just felt that it was way too expensive per person for this tour and would not recommend it to friends if the price wasn't cut by a third or more. I paid $168 plus a $15 tip ...and really felt my money would have been spent better on some other site seeing tour.

We had a great time, but I would recommend to attend the later tour. We went to the 7pm tour, so there was still some daylight out. The darkness would of made it a lot scarier. Other than that, the tour and tour guide was great.

not scary at all
Sun, Mar 23, 08   8:00 PM megsch Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Our leader was great, she did a great job telling historical stories and had a great sense of humor. Our big disappointment was that it was not scary...at all. Since it was built up as such a scary adventure, we were expecting some sort of fright factor. None came. it should not be advertised as something it clearly is not. it is a historical tour, nothing more. Not worth nearly $20. It was interesting, and if it was advertised as a historical tour, we might not have been so disaappointed.

...catching a ghost on film. The guide was very enthusiastic & knowledgeable about the jail. We enjoyed watching the kids soak it all in.

Very disappointed with the tour this time

We had been on the tour a couple of years ago and it was very thrilling. It was dark and mysterious so we wanted to do it again. This time however, it seemed to be a shorter tour and half the rooms had lights on. There were college students there working. I know Bull Dog Tours has no control over that, but it was a big disappointment for me this time. It took all the thrill out. I would not want to do this tour again until it gets back to the way it was before. All our other tours with Bull Dog Tours were great as usual. I love hearing the stories and learning the history. The more stories, the better!
