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!

A great walking tour.

Virginia_B, Oct 2026
This was a great walking tour with a lot of history. Wear good walking shoes and have a jacket. The dungeon does get warm though. The tour also takes you by some if thr restaurants that are amazing.

Gerarf_F, Oct 2026
I’ve been living here for 5 months and heard about all the ghost tours. Eventually I convinced myself that it was time to go! Our tour guide Jeanine was amazing, the way she would tell the stories about the city and its past you could tell she genuinely enjoys what she does! I would totally recommend any tour with this company but if you get her, you are really going to have a great time!

Response from Host, Oct 2026

Welcome to Charleston! 👻 We're so glad you finally decided to give one of our ghost tours a try! Janine has such a wonderful way of sharing the city's stories, and her love for what she does really shines through.

Fatima_D, Oct 2026

Edward_F, Sep 2026
Tour is a walking tour about 90 minutes but not walking all the time. Time at the Provost Dungeon about 30 minutes standing mostly. Rest of tour are several stops where tour guide talks about what happened there and Charleston history.

Kennedy was awesome. We went to the dungeon and walked around Charleston. Learned about local legends and the first female serial killer

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Ben, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review!

Too much history, not enough haunt

Martin_S, Jul 2026
Our tour guide covered a lot of history about the few sites we visited and why they would be haunted, but not enough detail about the actual haunting. We only visited 3 “haunted locations”, but did spend a fair amount of time in the dungeon.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Hello, We are sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We do appreciate the feedback. We are more than happy to offer a refund for the experience. Please feel free to reach out to me at andrew@bulldogtours.com to discuss further.

Ghosts of Charleston

Patrick_D, Jul 2026
We had a great time. Albin (our guide) was very good and had some amazing stories. He was very knowledgeable and showed us places where people have seen or felt a presence. Some of these were horrible but he did a great job so I felt what these poor people were feeling. Albin was wonderful. Thanks for a great experience

Response from Host, Jul 2026

We are so glad to hear you enjoyed Alben's tours!

Enjoyable tour, cool dungeon

Rachel_L, Jun 2026
We enjoyed it and loved the knowledge our guide had. He was very informative. At times however it was hard to hear him and understand him. We did not have any encounters with the sprits or paranormal, but we still enjoyed everything. But he did an excellent job and his knowledge was impeccable.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and your guide’s incredible knowledge. We also appreciate the feedback about the volume, and we’re happy to hear you had a great experience (even if the spirits stayed quiet that night!)

An evening of fun!

Bruce_S, Jun 2026
What a great tour! George was a 5-star guide! As a native Charlestonian, history is a part of my being. George added to that, with a bit of fancy just for fun with an open and caring delivery.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

We are so glad to hear expectations were met!

Great story telling

Whitney_N, Jun 2026
We had a great time with Caitlin on the tour. Between the stories and locations I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for the recommendation!

Downright Spooktacular!

Bruce_Q, Jun 2026
What can I say about Bulldogs ghost tour.. A LOT... First of all our guide Kevin was highly energetic, informative, incredibly personal and carried an essence about him that you expect from the low country! Not only was Kevin incredibly energetic but his knowledge of South Carolina, the spooky details, and overall knowledge of History was above and beyond but I expected. When you meet someone who not only is good at what they do but also loves to do it....it amplifies The Experience times 100x this was exactly that. Mind you I have lived here for 3 years and been on two other tours, neither of them even came close to what this was. If you're in South Carolina and thinking about having a ghost tour in the Lowcountry this is your spot.. look no further and book today! Take it from me....i love History and (The Spirit) of a great experience....lol ☠️💀👻😱👽

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Wow, thank you so much for this incredible review! We couldn't ask for a better description of Kevin. His energy, passion, and love for Charleston's history and ghost stories are exactly what make him such a special guide.

Fun night!

Katie_D, Jun 2026
Kevin was great! Very knowledgeable! We had a very exciting evening! The dungeon was really cool to see!

The tour was great, our tour guide Zoe was super friendly and outgoing. You could tell she loves what she does. She had great stories and answered a bunch of questions. Dungeon was smaller than expected but it was neat to see.
