Bulldog Tours' Charleston Tour Guides

ADAM, M.D.  Adam has given enough tours to put himself through the College of Charleston, medical school, and have enough money left over to court Charleston's wildest women.  Adam's dramatic flair can be seen/heard on The Charleston Ghost & Dungeon, Ghost & Graveyard, and The Dark Side of Charleston Walking Tour.  He's ambidextrous.

BARBARA is a docent in one of Charleston's most haunted mansions by day, and a Charleston Ghost & Dungeon Tour Guide by night.  When not giving tours, Barbara is busy with her WWF Memorabilia store on E-Bay.

BETH is a native South Carolinian and the ultimate Charleston concierge.  She is the head Shop Slave (Ticket Shop Clerk).  That means she's often the leader of our three ring circus.  One cool chick.

BRAD.  Tour Guide Extraordinaire.  Law Student.  Ladies Man.  And to his father's dismay, Brad often spends more time with the ladies than with the law. 

BROOKE is not only an amazing tour guide but also Charleston's best dressed cowgirl.  She is a native of Texas which explains the love of country/western music and line dancing, neither of which are included in her amazing Ghost & Dungeon Tour.  In her spare time she can be found volunteering at the Edmonston-Alston House or shopping on King Street.

CATHY has been walking the streets for money for almost 15 years - strictly as a tour guide.  Not only can Cathy name over 100 different flowers in Charleston, she can tell a ghost story that will make the most cynical ghost "non believers" question the supernatural.  Her favorite tour is the Charleston Ghost & Dungeon Walking Tour which has been featured in/on The Travel Channel, CMT, USA Today, Southern Living, and the Northwestern South Dakota Farmer's Gazette

CATOE. . . . . is like no other.  While his aristocratic pedigree dates back to Pre-Revolutionary Charleston, he is anything but refined.  A phenomenal veteran tour guide that will amaze, educate, shock, and mystify those who take his DARK SIDE OF CHARLESTON TOUR!!  Warning:  All men are advised to keep close tabs on your girl when in the presence of David Catoe.

CHRISTIE gave up her Oklahoma ranch to pursue a life of cold beer, ghost tours, and a masters degree from The Citadel.  Once she gets her masters degree she will probably. . . . . . . . continue working in our Ticket Shop.  Probably should have gotten an MBA rather than a Masters in Zimbabwe Basket Weaving & Pottery.

DAVID is a native Charlestonian, school teacher, father, husband, handyman, tour guide of 13 years, and one of Charleston's most sought after Blues Drummers.  David has played with the likes of BB King, Muddy Waters, and Delbert McClinton.  Truly, one of the best story tellers to ever grace the streets and alleyways of Charleston's Haunted/Historic district.

FRANNY, a native of Upstate South Carolina, currently resides on Isle of Palms where she continues her search for sea shells, a better way of life, and surfer dudes.  She is a graduate of The University of Georgia and a master storyteller.  Her hobbies include tennis, world travel, double martinis, and church socials.  Giving tours at Charleston Ghost & Dungeon is merely a way for Franny to explore her evil side.

GEORGE left The Empire State in search of warmer weather, prettier women, better golf, and eternal bliss.  These goals were met within minutes of his arrival in Charleston and he hasn't looked back.  George has been roaming the haunted alleyways of Charleston for many years and has dazzled thousands with his "Ghost 101" tour. 

JOHN LAVERNE.  Tour Guide.  Thrill Seeker.  Winner of the 2nd Grade Spelling Bee.

JOHN RAY LAVERNE is Charleston's most eligible 15 year old bachelor.  Until he can legally drive himself to Bulldog Tours, John Ray will stay busy by charming the local surfer chicks with his guitar playin and hip fashion sense.  He is often forced to go "incognito" to avoid the paparazzi.  That's the price a kid pays when being stalked by Paris Hilton.

Not a tour guide yet but he will eventually dominate the streets of Charleston.  He currently chills at the office and keeps our computer's video games up to date.

JOHN ROSS arrived to Charleston compliments of a Navy destroyer many years ago.  He gave up his sea legs to enlighten Charleston's visitors to the ultimate in history and ghost tours.  A man of many talents, John gives a wide variety of tours.  John's charisma and good looks caught the eye of an undisclosed European heiress on a tour last summer.  She offered him a life of unlimited wealth to be her arm candy.  John's devotion to Charleston won.  She lost.  Too bad. . . . . Bulldog Tours really needs a corporate jet.

JIM:  Southern by way of Southern California and one of our most requested guides, especially by super models.  Not only is Jim a slave to fashion, he gives carriage tours for  Palmetto Carriage in the daytime - at night, he is one of Bulldog Tours' most entertaining story tellers.  Jim is multitalented and can be found doing the Charleston Stroll , Charleston Ghost & Dungeon Tour, Charleston Ghost & Graveyard Tour, or the Dark Side of Charleston Walking Tour.  His next project. . . . . . cold fusion.

LANE was recently banned from The Charleston Ghost & Dungeon Tour for scaring the feint of heart.  The obvious choice was for Lane to just move on over to The Dark Side. . . . . of Charleston.  The Dark Side of Charleston is right up Lane's alley - make sure he tells you the story of Charleston's militant "free love" colony.  You will never see Lane giving the Historic Charleston Walking Tour - that tour has way too much flowers and fluff.

LARRY is a native of Ridgeville, a sleepy hollow about 25 miles from Chucktown.   Raised by a Gullah speaking nanny that told tales of voodoo and the supernatural. After years of therapy and countless bottles of local moonshine, Larry is now able to forward these stories to those that dare listen.  As we all know, ghost stories can often cause children to have nightmares and even wet their beds.  For the record, therapy can cure bet wetting.

LISA has been once of Charleston's most entertaining tour guides since 1990.  A local gal, graduate of the College of Charleston, and soon to be married to a guy unworthy of her love, Lisa is too cool to be forgotten.  She's breaking hearts all over America.

LAWRENCE is one of Charleston's most fascinating tour guides and definitely an asset to Bulldog Tours.  His tales of voodoo and Charleston's scariest ghost stories often leave the guests wanting an escort back to their hotel room.  When not scaring folks, Lawrence is usually romancing the ladies with style and fervor like no other.

LOUIS.  We know very little about Louis other than his phone number and that he gives one hell of a Ghost & Dungeon Tour.  Pretty sure he's in the Witness Protection Program.

MARC is a native of Charleston's Haunted Historic District and can be seen giving the Ghost & Dungeon Tour, Ghost & Graveyard Tour, Historic Charleston Walking Tour, Haunted Jail Tour, Dark Side of Charleston, Rebel Rousers Civil War Tour, but MOST importantly, Marc can be seen on the cover of "Charleston's Sexiest Men - 2005" calendar.  Autographed calendars available through Marc's beautiful wife, Olga. 

MARK:  A 9^th generation South Carolinian and the son of a Methodist minister.  Even though Mark did not become a minister like his father, he still preaches. Not about religion, but about ghosts, haunted houses, voodoo, and superstitions.  Mark's pulpit and sanctuary are the streets, graveyards, and alleys of Charleston.  Mark can be found on the Dark Side of Charleston, Ghost & Dungeon, or Ghost & Graveyard walking tours.  Author of the Wicked Charleston series.  Mark's Web site

PAUL"The Pirate" LAVERNE.  John LaVerne's nephew.  Paul looks innocent but trust me, he is bad to the bone.  Legend is, he once ate ice cream for breakfast then in a "sugar rage", crashed all his Hot Wheels into his Lego Fort.  Blackbeard, meet your match.

REBEL SINCLAIR.  Romance novelist.  Airbrush artist.  Motorcycle Mama.  In short, "Jill of all trades, Mistress of some".  Swept south of Duluth, MN via an Alberta Clipper.  Proud author of  the best selling historical romantic tale,  The Devil of Charleston.  Her latest book, Spirit of the Shadows is a fictional tale of Charleston ghosts.  Take her tour and she will tell you stories of REAL ghosts in Charleston!!  Rebel's website.

STEPHEN grew up in Maryland where he was taught he lived in the South.  He heard the siren call of the True South and moved in 1998, realizing he'd been lied to his entire life.  He's been doing tours ever since.  Stephen does ghost tours, carriage tours, house & garden tours, architecture tours, civil war tours, colonial tours and pirate tours.  When not giving tours, Stephen likes to sleep.

STEVIE BETROS is Bulldog Tours' Director of Security which is the equivalent of having a golden retriever as a watch dog.  Stevie is also the manager for Bishop England High School's basketball team and a Special Olympics gold medal winner (tennis, swimming, and basketball).  Stevie is a local celebrity and currently has 143,693 best friends.  Once you meet Stevie, we'll add you to the list.

SUZANN hails from the great state of North Carolina via San Francisco.  Free spirited, nature lovin', guitar-wielding goddess of Mount Pleasant.  Specializes in the Haunted Jail Tour, the Charleston Ghost & Dungeon Walking Tour, Charleston Ghost & Graveyard Tour, and adult only hopscotch.

TAD LEGARE is a 6th generation Charlestonian that has given ghost tours since his college days (all 7 years).  In his spare time, Tad managed to become a self-made dot-com millionaire, revolutionize Charleston's "Digital Corridor", and for nine years in a row, make Charleston's Most Eligible Bachelor's List.  Now married, Tad gives ghost tours as an excuse to get out of the house and to "reconnect with the people".  And by "people" we mean "pretty girls."
