Frequently Asked Questions

• What do the Tour Activity Levels mean?

  • EASY – Walking tours are designed for a leisurely pace but may include uneven sidewalks, some stairs and a combination of walking and standing for up to two hours.
  • MODERATE – Tours will include a more active pace at times including stairs and uneven terrain. Expect to be on your feet for the duration of the tour covering a minimum of a mile and half of the area.
  • ACTIVE – A high physical activity level is required to walk and climb narrow stairs. This tour is not recommended for guests who require canes or walkers.

• Do I have to purchase tickets in advance?

  Advanced purchase is strongly recommended, as tours often sell out well in advance. To maximize your chances of getting the day and time you prefer, please book well in advance.

• What if it rains?

  We present tours rain or shine, unless the conditions are dangerous. Charleston is famous for its summer afternoon passing showers.

• How much walking is involved?

  The Charleston Strolls tour covers approximately one and a half miles of walking, and we move at a relaxed and leisurely pace.

• What if I am hard of hearing?

  Our professional guides are skilled public speakers and work hard to make sure everyone can hear during the tour. If you are hard of hearing, please let your guide know and we’ll ensure you get a front-row seat.

• Is parking available?

  For Charleston Strolls Tours:
  There are a few precious metered parking spaces throughout the Historic District, though they require constant feeding. For our 10 pm tours, meter parking is free. Otherwise, we recommend parking in a paid lot, parking at the Visitors Center and riding the Downtown Area Shuttle (DASH), or parking in one of the garages around The City Market. Here are some suggestions:
  
  Charleston Parking
  51 PINCKNEY STREET CHARLESTON, SC 29401
  
  Cumberland Street Garage
  82 CUMBERLAND STREET CHARLESTON, SC 29401
  
  Concord/Cumberland Parking Garage
  1 CUMBERLAND STREET CHARLESTON, SC 29401
  
  Ample parking is available at Drayton Hall.

• What if I need to cancel or change my booking?

  You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a FULL refund. If you need to change or modify your tickets, simply call us at 843-722-TOUR (8687). We offer trip protection which ensures a refund within the 24 hours prior to the tour if you need to cancel.

• What if I am unhappy with the tour?

  Our #1 priority at Bulldog Tours is giving great tours. If you don't have a great experience, let us know and we promise to make it right with a full refund or voucher for a future visit.

• Are bathrooms available during the tour?

  Yes, we have a free restroom at our office for your convenience and most tours have regular opportunities to use the restroom throughout the tour.

• Are tours offered only in English?

  Yes, we only offer tours in English at this time. Please email or call us if you would like to make arrangements for your own interpreter to join the tour.

• Should I tip my Bulldog tour guide?

  If you feel your tour guide has provided a great experience, gratuities are encouraged— and welcomed—at the end of your tour. We believe that recognizing excellent service is a personal matter, though 15-20% of your booking fee is a good rule of thumb. Gratuities for your guide are always appreciated, but never expected.

• What if I still have questions?

  We’re here to help! Simply call us at 843-722-TOUR (8687) if you have any additional questions or concerns.
