Dave, our tour guide, was incredibly engaging and truly brought the history to life through his captivating storytelling. I highly recommend this enjoyable activity during your time in Charleston.
I had an excellent time with Dave.
I want to express my appreciation for Bull Dog Tours. My daughters and I love exploring the history of haunted sites across the nation. Bull Dog's guides provide many valuable and well-organized experiences. The tours are timely, fairly priced, and allow access to often overlooked areas. While we usually dislike "walk & talk" tours and lean towards a more interactive exploration, our guide, Jack, made this experience enjoyable and engaging with his extensive knowledge, great patience, thoughtfulness, and entertaining manner. The after-hours tour of the USS Yorktown was fantastic. We will definitely return, and Bull Dog will be our go-to for future tours. Thank you, Jack!
The tour was excellent, featuring an informative guide who shared a captivating mix of historical facts and ghost stories. Visiting the USS Yorktown was also a highlight.
This experience was a wonderful surprise. Our tour guide, Bruce Orr, was friendly and well-informed, and he had a knack for storytelling. It's also great that part of the ticket sales supports the conservation of historical sites, ensuring they remain accessible for future visitors. Overall, it was fantastic value, and we strongly recommend it to anyone who is physically capable of participating, as there are some ladders and stairs, though it’s not overly strenuous.
I had a fantastic time on this experience. The view from the flight deck at sunset was incredible, but learning about the history of the USS Yorktown and the energy it embodies is maritime knowledge that must be remembered.
I truly enjoyed every aspect of the experience. The stories, the history, and the opportunity to explore areas of the ship that are usually off-limits were all incredible. Our tour guide shared fascinating tales and was exceptionally kind.
This tour was fantastic. Our guide, Ken, was both friendly and knowledgeable, sharing compelling tales of the paranormal experiences reported on the Yorktown. The ship is truly magnificent and serves as a museum that showcases its remarkable history. Be ready to maneuver through narrow hallways and ascend/descend steep ladders, so dress appropriately and wear suitable footwear.
Ken was a fantastic tour guide who provided access to different areas of the ship and addressed all of our inquiries. I highly recommend this tour; it was definitely worth the price.
If you are a history enthusiast, this tour is excellent for you. It wasn't as frightening as I had anticipated, but it was very informative. The guide was friendly and well-informed about the ship's details.
