Excellent experience, so much history about Charleston. Our guide Noah was amazing. Favorite tour guide I have ever had!!! We had an annoying member in our group and he handled it with professionalism and grace. He even walked us back to our starting point and talked to us about the town the entire way. Our entire grouped loved this experience!

Janine was such an amazing tour guide for the walking ghost and gravestone tour! I learned so much history about Charleston. I really loved the fact there were opportunities to pick her brain about the area and ask questions. The way she explained the stories really made them come alive! Highly recommend!

My friend and I needed a girl's weekend, and what better way to see Charleston than by taking a Ghost Tour. Our Tour Guide, Jim, was friendly and super informative. You can definitely that tell he loves what he does! Not only did we learn a lot about the city, but we had a great time. I uploaded a photo of what appears to be a man standing next to the grave of three boys. Thanks, Jim and Bulldog Tours for a great first trip to Charleston!
