Informative and enjoyable! - Tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient with questions. Enjoyed the variety of topics shared throughout the tour. The Tour Guide was aware of the heat and stopped us in shaded spots whenever possible. She was also very mindful of getting everyone back to the end spot on time in case of lunch/other plans.

Great walking tour! - Our group very much enjoyed the Charleston Stroll History Walking Tour. It was informative, entertaining, and a great way to see the city. We were in town for a bachelorette party and were some of the younger ones in our group, but our tour guide Gordon did a great job catering to all ages! He was knowledgeable, kind and had a good sense of humor. Thanks Bulldog Tours!

A lovely introduction to Charleston - The walking tour of Charleston was a lovely introduction to the history of the City and increased our knowledge and understanding from the history we had learned about in Savannah. Gordon provided a full explanation of Charleston’s history including Charleston’s contribution to the Civl War - all this as we admired the local architecture and saw examples of fine churches and houses in the context of Gordon’s talk.

Excellent! - Excellent tour! I wish they would have provided water. We have taken Bull Dog tours in the past, & it was provided so we made the choice not to bring our own. Got quite thirsty in the heat of Charleston. But, Dena was amazing! She was so knowledgeable & friendly! We will continue to use Bull Dog and will definitely recommend it to others!
