This was our first visit to Charleston, SC and Lisa with Bulldog Tours gave an awesome and pretty darn scary night-time ghost and graveyard tour. This tour is a mix of historical facts about Charleston along with scary stories of old haunted buildings or graveyards. I have to add that some of the stories aren't really for the faint of heart. Take ghost stories for what you will, but many of the stories involve true tragedies of a rich and populated city before medicine and modern technologies. Some of those tragic stories involve children and can be upsetting. That being noted, you are walking through a graveyard at night soooo be prepared to have a fright. Lisa, our tour guide, is a native to Charleston, has a wealth of knowledge, and is a downright good person to talk with between stops. I highly recommend Bulldog Tours. They are easy to find, well organized, and fun for a scare!
Grace was an awesome tour guide! She made the walk through graveyards spooky fun! She also showed images caught by other tours!
A bit silly and scripted but to be expected At the end of the tour check your photos. You may be surprised. See photo attached. Make you’re own decision
Randy did a great job as guide and storyteller. Very entertaining and knowledgeable of Charleston history….especially about ghosts.
Interesting stories, definitely different from the tour I went on a few years prior! I was worried the tour would be a repeat of the previous one but I learn something new each time
