Very pleased with tour - We did this exact tours about 18 months ago and decided to add it on our food tour day. Sarah was our guide and she did a great job. Very personable and presented in a very casual manner. The tour was different from the last one we took. The route was different but the wealth of knowledge was the same. It was nice to see some different sites on the tour. It was very enjoyable and we were glad we tried again.

Historical Tour - Our guide was very knowledgeable! We had a group of 8 which was perfect. Our friends had been on a tour 2 years ago and learned different history this time. I like the idea that every tour and guide is a different experience.

A great tour guide - I enjoyed all of the history that was presented. Our guide Gordon was very informative and kept our attention. He made sure that he covered all parts of the area. I loved when we went inside and looked at the oldest theatre in Charleston. In addition he gave a thorough review of Fort S. Thanks L.L

Hostorical walk… - We did the tour yesterday with Dave. He was very laidback and full of Charleston historical information. He has 18-20 years of doing tours here. He knows the hidden secrets, churches, artwork, etc. Walked probably 1-1/2 - 2 miles at an easy pace. Highly recommend Dave and Bulldog Tours. Cheers !
