Awesome tour !!!!! - Captain Brian is the best! Very knowledgable and entertaining. We had a huge group for my wife’s birthday, and he made sure everyone and everything was taken care of, and that it was an awesome celebration. From the beer/food recommendations to the historical information about Charleston, he went far beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend his tours for all.

A different way to tour the City - I took some friends that were new to Charleston to give them a glimpse of the history. Adam was so knowledgeable! We had a great time and I learned more than I had already known. I highly recommend this tour!

Great afternoon history with a few pub stops tour - Adam was a fantastic guide. We ended up on a private tour as the other party had to cancel. It was a perfect mix of history of the city intermingled with alcohol and how it impacted Charleston’s history as well. The pub stops were perfect bookends and would highly recommend this tour for a nice couple hour activity.

🔥 walking tour - Adam was very knowledgeable. His interesting stories made the walk in the heat worth it. We were the only ones who signed up so we had a private tour. Be sure to try the rum punch along the way.

Captain Bryan was very... - Captain Bryan was very entertaining welcoming and gave a lot of good information for someone who is not into history. My husband and I booked this for our anniversary and he also acknowledged that as well and kept it personal like you’ve known him forever!

Best tour in Charleston - Bryan was an amazing and extremely knowledgeable historian and tour guide. The tour was not your average boring history tour. Bryan made it fun, lively, and incredibly interesting. I would highly recommend going on this tour or any of the other ones that he offers!

Highly recommended , very knowledgeable about the local history - We had the tour with the Captain and it was awesome. If you can walk you can take this tour as it is not one if those walk 25 miles type tours and it included many interesting facts about the history of the town from someone who has lived and grown up there. Being able to cool off in historical drinking establishments was a great bonus. Let's hope the Captain will write a book someday. One eye Steve.
