Our guide Jim was wonderful, very knowledgeable and funny. The problem was that it was so loud surrounding the tour that it was hard to get in the right frame of mind. We went the night before halloween and there must've been some party or something going on because all we could hear was music. It's hard to get spooked when you hear Juvenile's "back that a** up" loud as can be... The other issue was there were too many tours, it seemed like we were all right on top of each other. It was a bummer because for the money paid, it could have been so much better.

I did the haunt tour of the Yorktown with Dave, and the Ghost and graveyard tour Halloween night at 8:30 with George. I cant think of a cooler place to be after dark on Halloween than the Circular Church Graveyard! I thank both guides for their knowledge! I've been on your tours since 2010, and I look forward to them every time I'm town!
Learned a lot of history about different hauntings in the area. Jim was very informative and seemed to enjoy telling us all of the stories. We took a video in the cemetery and caught 2 orbs traveling towards Jim!
It was really interesting learning about the haunted history of Charleston. The circular graveyard was my favorite part
We had a fantastic experience on our ghost tour with Matt as our guide! From the moment the tour began, Matt was engaging, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He brought Charleston's history and ghost stories to life with the perfect mix of storytelling, humor, and suspense. He kept everyone interested and involved. He was personable, answered questions thoughtfully, and made sure the entire group had a great experience. He has a voice that is clear and made for tv or radio. We are all locals but I heard several stories that were new to me. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you're lucky enough to have Matt as your guide. He made the evening memorable, fun, and just spooky enough. Thank you, Matt, for an excellent tour!
Boring - drawn out and was definitely feeling commercialized. The tour guide was fine - just boring, We left at the cemetery part.
Great job on telling stories Belle took her time and showed enthusiasm. To future guests, be respectful of the guides. She didn’t need t babysit you after you’ve decided to drink.
Grace was a fantastic tour guide! I enjoyed the tour very much
We had another absolutely amazing experience with Bulldog Tours, this time on the Charleston Ghost and Graveyard Tour with our incredible guide, Jim Yarian! Jim was phenomenal! His knowledge of Charleston’s haunted history, captivating storytelling, and wonderful personality made the entire experience unforgettable. He had a way of bringing every story to life, keeping us entertained, intrigued, and engaged throughout the entire tour. You can tell Jim has a genuine passion for Charleston’s history and truly enjoys sharing it with others. His enthusiasm and attention to detail made the experience that much more special. This was yet another fantastic experience with Bulldog Tours, and we cannot recommend them enough! If you’re planning a ghost tour in Charleston, ask for Jim Yarian! You won’t be disappointed. Five stars for an outstanding guide and an unforgettable evening!
Great tour with Drew. I’ve been on others that just seemed cheesy but the stories he told and his demeanor was perfect for the tour. I wish we had seen a few more places but the ones we did visit were supposedly full of spirits and full of history.
JESS is a very talented storyteller. We enjoyed a wet and rainy tour with her. Very authentic. Thank you@
Fun and knowledgeable, your guide was helpful and had more info if you just talked
Jessica was AMAZING!!! She was informative so sweet and really kept us engaged!!! The Bulldog staff was great! Called us helped us park and get or the tour so we didn’t have to miss our tour!
The tour is small enough for questions and comments. You walk in a group to several locations (churches and graveyards) at night. Our guide was friendly and had tons of great stories about history and ghosts.
We were expecting a spooky tour of the Graveyard and to hear about the ghosts. However our guide was very lean on telling ghost stories. She would have been better at guiding historical and architectural tours. Felt like it was a total waste of our time and money.
My friends and I had a great time on our ghost and graveyard tour with Jim!! It was a great mix of the history of Charleston and ghost stories from the area.
Amazing time and great guide Jack Kelly. Passionate and keeps you Invested in the stories. Recommend for the ghost and graveyard. Lots of great history
Olivia was very knowledgeable, and the tour we chose gained us special entry into one of the cemeteries after dark. It was such a cool experience. I would definitely recommend.
Zoe was an amazing ghost tour host! She is very knowledgeable and makes the tour extremely interactive and fun.
My friend and I had a good time on this tour. Diane, our tour guide was well versed and informative. It was a little creepybut nothing scary, so Id say it's family friendly. Overall enjoyed and would recommend!
So interesting!!! Jim did an amazing job story telling!! He was very entertaining and we were all a little scared on the walk home!! Highly recommend!!!
Great tour! Jim was super personable, my family and I had a blast and will definitely be booking again when we return to Charleston!
Our family of 4 - 2 parents + 2 20-somethings really enjoyed Drew’s graveyard tour. He’s a wonderful storyteller balancing gothic details and history with just enough spooky to make it compelling for a range of ages. Great to be on our feet and strolling after indulging in all the great Charleston food. Fantastic to have time in the graveyard of the Circular Congregation graveyard as the sun set and bats began to dance above. We highly recommend!
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!
Kevin was an enthusiastic, informative storyteller. He knew his history and knew the legends well and spoke with great conviction. He patiently answered questions, and his passion for Charleston history and lore was infectious.
It was a nice tour through downtown Charleston. Our tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. I would do it again!
We had a great time discovering a side of CHS we had never seen before. Jessica was a wonderful guide and we really appreciated that the tour (Ghosts & Graveyards) was dog friendly. Even our teenagers enjoyed themselves.
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!
Interesting facts about the city and different areas where ghosts/spirits have been spotted. I was not lucky enough to catch a glimpse, but the stories were very interesting.
Drew was great! He had a great way of telling the stories. The cicada were paid actors and stopping chirping at the most dramatic moments. I am waiting to look at my pictures to see what we can see.
George was an amazing tour guide! He is so incredibly knowledgeable, and comes locked and loaded with proof pictures and funny jokes. Was a great way to spend a night in Charleston.
great tour even caught a picture of a ghost
Basically a history tour. Not very spellbinding or scary. The teenagers hardly got through it.
Our guide Grace was great! She was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun. We definitely will do another tour when we visit Charleston again.
Our tour guide George was very knowledgable and fun. Information on the tour was historical and factual. The graveyards on the tour were very old and beautiful. All the buildings on the tour were beautiful.
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!
We had the best time and our tour guide was awesome and engaged! The history and stories told were educational.
Emma was an amazing tour guide! She gave the perfect mix of history and a few spooky ghost stories. You can tell she loves her history and was very passionate about delivering an amazing experience for this tour. Even with a rowdy crowd she remained focused on the experience for the rest of us.
Kennedy N. Was fabulous! We really appreciated her attention to detail. She even offered us bug spray. Thanks again
Wonderful, spooky tour. Alben was a very knowledgeable, entertaining, and amazing story teller. The graveyard experience was 10/10. Would recommend.
Alben was an amazing tour guide! The tour was well organized, interesting, and full of great history! Highly recommend and will do their day time tours next time I am in Charleston
Learned a lot of history. Our tour guide was funny, informative and clearly enjoyed his job. Made sure everyone stayed together and was safe in the dark walking in streets and graveyards. Would recommend this tour!
The walk was very informal. The guide did a great job of explaining things and it was cool to see the graveyard at night
Fun night in the graveyards and alleys. Interesting stories of real people now ghosts! Highly recommend.
Grace really made this entire experience amazing. She was funny and knowledgeable. It was like strolling through the cemetery with a friend on a random Saturday night. I highly recommend
Fun folklore and Gullah voodoo tales. The tour guide was very engaged and enthusiastic which made it so fun!
Informative and fun, just the way a graveyard ghost tour should be! Naturally the night tour adds perfectly to the ambiance of the outing
Jim and the Bulldog Tour team were great! Took us around the city and walked us through the cemetery while sharing stories that haunt Charleston. So fun!
Jeanine is very passionate about the subject and engaging. This tour is a good way to learn more about Charleston's history.
I thought it was a fun way to spend a night in Charleston. For scaredy cats like me I was officially spooked but my kids who are more brave weren’t scared but did enjoy the history lesson on Charlestons past
