Really poorly done. Meeting spot is a 10 minute walk from the place the tour starts. The walk is just walking. The quality of the tour, the sites seen and the photos shown are seemingly unrelated. We were really bored. We tipped the guide and left early. She was nice, and she tried to make it interesting but it was really awful.

Awesome tour
We had a wonderful time. While I love paranormal, I also love history. My husband had never been on a ghost tour and as a non-believer was not very interested. However they blended history a spooky tails well. The dungeon even managed to make him jump! He loved it and so did I!

2 hour VIP Walking Tour (Dungeon & Graveyard)
My 10-year-old son & I had a fantastic tour. We went on the 2 hour VIP walking tour to the dungeon & graveyard. It was the perfect amount of spooky & history. Harper was a beyond excellent tour guide. She was knowledgeable about a wide variety of Charleston history & delivered the tales/stories in a fun & memorable way. Bulldog Tours has access to areas that other tour groups did not have access to, which made the tour even more special. Would definitely recommend this tours to others & use Bulldog Tours again when we return to Charleston.
