GHOST TOURS IN REVIEW
I'm not exactly sure what possessed me to start giving historic ghost tours, but now that I've met all the ghosts, I have a few suspects in mind... I have given weekly tours as a City of Charleston licensed guide with Bulldog Tours since Friday the Thirteenth of October 2023. My walking tours attract people of all ages in groups of up to 20, and include strolls through the Charleston Historic District and tours inside the Provost Dungeon and Circular Church Graveyard.

"An unforgettable experience from start to finish. The tour itself was excellent, but what truly elevated it was our guide, Melina, whose passion and charisma turned every moment into something engaging and enthralling. It felt less like a tour and more like a journey led by someone who lives the story. A masterclass in how to guide."

"Loved our ghost tour in Charleston. Our guide, Melina, was a great storyteller, funny, and knowledgeable about the area. She made the tour. Enjoyed the dungeon, very creepy, but also interesting to see the architecture. The cemetery was also fascinating. Definitely recommend."

"Melina was an aficionado whose candid passion for her work was truly evident while escorting our group through Charleston and telling us fascinating stories on sides pertaining to historical and the more supernatural. In the end, I felt as if all questions I may have asked during the tour were all answered."

"We had a party of 11 with kids from 13-8, the kids were properly creeped out without being too scared. Interesting information for all the adults and everyone was entertained. The tour started right on time and Melina (she has the office that was once a temporary morgue) was great, especially with the kids. Overall great tour!"
