The Charleston Haunted Jail Tour

We had a great time on the Haunted Jail tour. It wasn't scary, but was very interesting and fun to see inside the old jail. It was one of the best tours we went on.

I ordered tickets for the Jail tour because we wanted something scary to do for Halloween. One of my best friends and her husband came with me to Charleston and she loves scary events. This tour was advertised to be one of the scariest in Charleston but honestly it wasn't. I am a huge chicken when it comes to that kind of stuff and it really didn't scare me at all. The scariest thing was some of the other people on the tour. Our tour guide, AJ, did a great job with the history of the jail and he was a good story teller. I thought he did a wonderful job. I also realize that ghosts don't always come out when you want them to, I mean how scary would that be. Overall I would recommend Bulldog tours to anybody that wants to learn the history of Charleston and wants to get a few chills up their spine. The jail tour just wasn't what I was expecting. Thank you for the opportunity to give you my comments. I love Charleston and would definitely come back for another vacation.

My sister and I did the jail tour and found it to be alot of fun. Our guide, Ginger, was very informative and the tour seemed to fly by. My only regret is that we didnt also try the other tours they offer.

The tour was awesome!

She provided the mystery that was needed for this tour. I don't think the jail itself was that spectacular, but she did a great job of trying to make it more scary. I didn't see any ghosts, or feel any cold breezes or anything like that. The best part of the whole tour was the history of the place. That in itself is enough to make you shudder. When you think of the horrors that must have gone on in that place. The diseases, the hangings, the whippings, the heat and cold since there were no windows in the place; That is enough to make it interesting. I would rather take the graveyard tour next time. I don't think the jailhouse tour was worth doing twice, but it was interesting enough to be worthwhile.

IT WAS AN EXCELLENT TOUR OF THE OLD JAIL , BUT WAS UNAWARE THAT THEIR WEREN'T ANY BENCHES OR SEATIUNG FOR SOME OF THE TALES AND TALKS WERE LENGHTY. BEING IN ONE SPOT WHILE OTHER GROUPS WERE ALSO IN THE BUILDING CREATED LENGHTHY PERIODS IN ONE SPOT. OTHERWISE THE STORIES AND TALES TOLD ABOUT THE JAIL WERE VERY GOOD.

While this is still an interesting tour, Enjoyed it better the first time two years ago. This time we had a very large group and spent a lot of time waiting for the group to move between the few rooms we visited. There was too much time spent in a single room discussing prison life. Last time we visited the upstairs and found some interesting rooms that weren;t viewed nor discussed this time. Camera picked up some orbs same as last time. Origin? Who knows. Tour guide was ok. The stomping of the foot attempting to scare the group was a little hokie. Previous tour was a smaller group with unrulely children. This time had a couple of well behaved boys who appear to enjoy the tour. Overall, still better than graveyard tours.

The tour was interesting, but it definitely wasn't the spookiest place I'd ever been as noted in the description.

It was an excellent, but grim living history tour of the old jail. Being in the jail was like a dungeon. The guide was very detailed and knowledgable about its history and stories. He articulated executions, torture, living conditions not fit for animals, no heat, electricity and solitary confinement taking place in a crypts with bars on top. We also saw the inane assylum area. Prisoners rarely lived long in this horrid place and many purposely wanted to get shot attempting to excape because death meant peace. I didn't think it was scary, but it was creepy. I wouldn't want to be the one to lock the place up by myself at night. There was a lot more to the tour, but I don't want to spoil it.

We were 3 couples spending a few days at wild dunes and charleston. Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable made the tour so interesting. A creepy and very dark jail, where you could feel how the prisoners must have felt. Before entering we were all asked to turn off our cell phones. During the latter part of the tour someone's phone rang and showed 777-7777. A bit freakish, maybe s spirit was trying to contact someone!! I would definitely recommend this tour, it was interesting, a bit scary , but very informative about era . K. C.
