Haunting, history, and a little mystery!
Ashley_H, Apr 2023
Our fantastic guide wrangled our crew as well as she wrangled the spirits of Charleston! We were a wild crew, and she never wavered. We had so much fun learning the spooky history of the burial grounds, haunted alleyways, tales of terror and more. I would 100% take this tour again and definitely recommend Lindsey. (sp?) What a worthwhile time spent in this historic city. I recommend the latest tour possible!
Response from Host, Apr 2023

Solid Tour Experience
Natalie_S, Apr 2023
Beau is the go to tour guide! Super charismatic, perfect walking/story pace, knew what he was talking about and captured our attention. Only thing he could work on was his photography skills. Overall 10/10 would recommend

Awesome.
Richard_M, Apr 2023
The head and foot stones marking the graves. The death wagon picking up the dead. Creamation and mausoleums not being ways to dispose of the dead, preferred was burial. Story of the girl layed to rest in the mausoleum and bones and scratching of the door to get out.

Interesting story
Hattie_J, Apr 2023
Was interesting but Could be better. Not scary enough. Our tour guide very knowledgable. Little kids would love it.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you for adding Bulldog Tours into your vacation. We are glad you had fun!
Ok but historical facts off
Kendra_M, Apr 2023
We have been on several ghost tours and this one was ok. Our guide presented several stories and an evening walk around Charleston is always enjoyable. However, our guide didn’t have correct knowledge about Charleston history i.e. The Mills house wasn’t in existence during the Revolutionary War so it couldn’t have been bombed by the British; great earthquake hit the city in 1886 not late 1700’s. Many people go on several tours so it’s good to have your basic facts correct when hosting a tour therefore don’t feel the value of this tour was worth the price.
Spooky night
Anthony_a, Apr 2023
Great way to spend a full moon evening. Sarah did a great job telling stories about the creepy side of Charleston

Boring
Rachel_K, Apr 2023
I have to be honest and tell you I was really disappointed in the Charleston Ghost & Graveyard Night-Time Guided Walking tour. The tour guide was a sweet person but she really lacked storytelling skills. She tried but there was really nothing scary about the tour and she spent too much time talking about her own personal experiences instead of historical knowledge of the area that would have made it more interesting. No suspense or dramatic language, we were left quite bored really and when the stories were told they seemed just made up . I think you need to train your staff better and I doubt I would take another tour from this company . Sorry , just being honest
Caught some orbs!
Jennifer_J, Mar 2023
It was me and my husband's first experience on a ghost tour and both of us enjoyed it. Adam was a great tour guide! Full of knowledge and entertaining stories. Coming from Maryland we didn't realize how much history and paranormal activity Charleston has! Fun fact, in Charleston you're walking on bodies all the time 🫣😬
Response from Host, Mar 2023
We're so thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful time! We have the best guides in town! We hope to see you on another tour soon!
Good times
James_D, Mar 2023
Great experience and story telling by Adam, he made sure our experience was fun and spooky. He even showed us some really cool pics from his phone. The history he told us was inviting and made for a great time.

Had Braxton as our guide. Had great stories and was very knowledgeable. The best part is going to an actual graveyard at night. It was a fun and spooky experience!
