    We rebooked due to cancellation for weather the day before. This day was gorgeous. Narrative on the ferry was great. Staff of the park service very knowledgeable, especially Andrew. The retirement ceremony for the flag as it was the last trip of the day was an added bonus, actually quite emotional.

    The food tour was amazing! Cristen was so personable and very knowledgeable, not only about the food but about the history of Charleston. The food was delicious and the staff at the restaurants were friendly and very mindful of the time we had. They had water poured at our table waiting on us, and the food was brought out quickly. Since the food was brought out so timely we didn't feel at all rushed. It was very relaxing and gave us the opportunity to really sit down and enjoy each meal. Cristen made the experience perfect for us. We can't wait to try the brunch tour next time!

    This tour was very spooky. I've been on three ghost tours in Charleston. This was by far the best one. Brandon was excellent. I highly recommend this tour.

    Beautiful gardens and plantation home. Love seeing flashes of history. Unfortunately it had snowed shortly before our visit and there were no flowers but it was still lovely just the same. Staff was very friendly and courteous also. Outstanding

    Old South Carriage Company offers a fantastic haunted carriage tour through old Charleston. Our tour guide that we had was incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and was very enthusiastic about describing the more drab and macabre sides of Charlestons history in general. I appreciate the fact that there were no punches pulled when discussing particular parts of the city’s darker side. Despite being a neighbor to this state we learned things about this town that we had never heard before. Also, the care for their horses is top notch. You can see that everyone working there has a lot of love and respect for the animals that are their coworkers. 10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone planning a visit to Charleston.

    Neal Cook (our Guide) did an excellent job! We barely started the tour and I was impressed, and it only got better. He is very knowledgeable (a masters degree in history) and presents you with a lot of historical and food/restaurant information. Lastly, he is a 7th generation Charleston native with many family ties to the community. I really can’t recommend him and his tour company enough.

    Hidden Alleyways and Historic Sites with Capt. Jim was one of the highlights of our stay in Charleston. We loved the smaller group to ask questions and enjoy details without missing a thing. Jim is hugely knowledgeable about Charleston and local history, and his passion for the town made his stories jump alive. The primarily French Quarter et environs tour took us down all the quaint places we missed otherwise. Plus, Jim gave us terrific recommendations where to enjoy the best BBQ in town!

    The tour was highly recommended by friends who visit Charleston regularly. My wife and I agree with their review. Professor Lager made historic Charleston come to life…facts and dates woven into stories with perspectives of their place in history and relationships to the present. Plenty of walking with appropriate stops that we (older seniors) had no problem. The number of people on a tour is limited to twelve which we appreciated given our negative experiences with other larger tours. A memorable walk through historic Charleston.

    My husband and I did the Old City Jail tour led by Bruce and it was fantastic (and super creepy)! He had a wealth of knowledge about the disturbing history of the jail as well as several personal stories of scary encounters that he’s witnessed at the jail. I’ve done several ghost tours in various cities and this is the only one that I’ve actually found pretty scary. Highly recommend doing it at night! Thanks for a great tour Bruce and Bulldog Tours!

    A lot of history here. Everyone was very friendly and informative. Each cabin is filled with history and has an audible presentation. The grounds are beautiful and the trees are amazing. Purchased tickets through TripAdvisor and everything went smoothly.
