Amazing - Captain Bryan is awesome! This was a GREAT tour! Bryan’s family has been in Charleston for 6 generations and it shows - his historical knowledge of the area was so impressive and he is a great story teller. Would highly recommend you choose this tour over the others if you’re interested in historically grounded tales of ghosts!

Unique historical ghost tour with a dash of bars and brews - Charleston has such beauty and interesting history. This was a great way to start a visit in a place we have never been. Captain Bryan was an engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. He not only gave interesting ghost stories but also a wealth of historic information, plus suggestions on things to see while in town. He made himself available outside of the tour for advice and recommendations. There is only one appetizer option at one of the bars which cant be customized (we are vegan). It is a nacho plate which sounds really nice for those without restrictions. If you do have dietary restrictions and plan to take the late tour, there isn't anywhere to eat out after so recommend eating before the tour. It was a very personal tour as in January he wasn’t booked up. He gave us a lot of his own personal and family history having grown up in town. Bryan is a certified historian and knows his stuff. We learned so much about many things from civil war history to the evolution of southern cuisine influenced by what land was given to freed slaves for farming. Chilling well-researched ghost and boo hag stories were peppered throughout the tour. The bar stops were a unique way to sit and talk and learn more. I am hoping to book one of the other tours next time we are in town. In particular the women and wine tour sounds intriguing. I have been on many different tours of many different kinds in different cities and towns and always choose the ghost tours that have historical accuracy when available. This hits the top of our list. Highly recommend.

History. Ghosts. Cocktails. What else is needed? - Found a fantastic evening experience. Captain Bryan was a great host who relayed great factual history, ghost stories, and a couple of great tavern stops. Book it and get ready for a great evening!

History - Ghosts - Taverns. Do this! - My family and I were searching for something local to do around the holiday and wanted to do a ghost tour. Captain Bryan’s tour was fantastic, combining a fact-based history ghost tour with an introduction to a couple of new taverns. His personality and storytelling helped make the evening an outstanding success for us. Highly recommend this particular tour! Thanks Captain Bryan!

Spooky Sitings in Charleston? - We had a great time learning about Charleston’s haunted history with Captain Bryan. Our trip started at Tommy Condon’s before hitting the streets to visit several cemeteries and graveyards. Hearing the ghost lore had us all searching for apparitions and wondering if we would see any shadowy figures in our photos. Great job to Captain Bryan for making this a memorable trip!!
