Requires a minimum of four people to run; if the minimum is not met, you will be contacted and given a full refund. Tickets can be refunded up to 24 hours prior to start time.
The food tour runs rain or shine. Bring an umbrella or poncho based on the forecast.
Wheelchair users have attended in the past, but some streets are not very accessible and some places have stairs, so extra maneuvering and planning may be needed. You can bring a stroller, and you may need to leave it outside at stops with stairs.
Yes. You can use bathrooms at several locations along the way.

Travelers consistently rave about the tour guides here, and for good reason. Names like Clara, Drew, Gordon, and especially Dave come up repeatedly, with reviewers praising their storytelling abilities, deep knowledge of Charleston's history, and genuine enthusiasm for what they do. The guides seem to strike that perfect balance between being informative and entertaining, making the city's past come alive without feeling overly rehearsed or dramatic. Several people specifically mention how knowledgeable their guides were, and it's clear these aren't just people reading from a script. They know their stuff and genuinely enjoy sharing it. The variety of tours gets attention too, from ghost walks to cemetery tours to the City Jail experience. One reviewer did note that while the content at the Provost Dungeon was solid, the delivery felt a bit contrived and the mannequins could use an upgrade (though they emphasized this wasn't a reflection on the tour company itself). That same person also warned that the jail tour includes some violent history and graphic details, so it might not be suitable for young kids or anyone easily disturbed. The office staff also earned praise for being friendly and efficient, making the check-in process smooth. Overall, these tours seem like an excellent way to explore Charleston's darker history with guides who are clearly passionate about what they do.
We took our boys, ages 11 and 8, on the VIP Ghost Tour, and Kevin was our guide. He was absolutely exceptional. He was so engaging for us adults, as well as the kids, and kept everyone intrigued. Kevin had a way with his storytelling that even our kids are still talking about our experience. It was truly an unforgettable experience getting to learn a little more of dark and spooky side of Charleston. I highly recommend Bulldog Tours, and Kevin, for your next Charleston experience!
