We had the pleasure of doing the Dark Side of Charleston tour with Bruce, and it was such a great experience! Not only was he *incredibly* knowledgeable about Charleston’s history, but you could tell he genuinely loves continuing to learn more about it himself, which made the tour even more fun! On top of that, he was hilarious and kept the whole group entertained the entire time. We did the 10 PM tour to be specific, which i feel only added to the dark lore. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Bruce if you’re considering it!
Thanks for the awesome recommendation and kind words about Bruce!
The tour was a lot of fun and we learned more about the history of Charleston... some things we wouldn't have learned on more traditional tours. David did a great job and we could hear him well through out the tour even without headsets. He is very knowledgeable on the history of Charleston. There were a couple of times on the tour when I had some trouble keeping track of who was who during his stories, but most of the time it was clear.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Paul! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your tour with Dave.
Great tour on New Year’s Eve to find out about the lesser known history of Charleston through storytelling and connections with the locations as we walked through the streets of Charleston.
Thank you for spending your New Year's Eve with us!
Andrew did a great job on the tour. It was interesting hearing about the dark side of Charleston. Andre even had pictures to show us. Very informative
Thanks for joining us. We are glad to hear you had a great time.
Very interesting history shared by Jack. Worth the time if you're looking for something to do in the evening.
Thanks for spending your evening with us!
Paul was incredible! He was very knowledgeable and told many great stories! Strongly recommend this tour!
Thanks for the recommendation!
Faith was very knowledgeable on the goings on "on the darker side of Charleston". I will definitely recommend this tour to age appropriate people.
Thank you for joining us, Rebecca!
Cancelled prior to tour due to low sign up. Bulldog Tours did say we would be refunded. Hopefully it won’t take too terribly long to process.
Hello, in order for tours to run, we have to have a minimum of four guests. It does not make sense to run tours with less than four people. We make this very clear in the booking process including in the email confirmation sent out after booking. We also state that we will notify guests if the tours do not meet the minimum. This is a standard procedure among tour companies across the world. When we do not meet the minimum, we provide options including rescheduling to another tour, another date, or providing a full refund. Again, that is a standard business procedure. You are giving a poor rating for a tour you did not take as well as against a company for following its own business practice and policies to ensure honesty and transparency for those policies. Have the day you deserve, sir.
It was a very informative and interesting. Did not realize some of the things that I learned about Charleston.
We are so glad to hear you learned some new history about Charleston!
We had an excellent 10pm walk with Jade. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We always seek out the “dark” tours on all of our visits to charming Southern towns. This one did not disappoint. Book now!
Awesome to hear you had a great time. We appreciate your review!
