Super fun, engaging and educational as well!!! - This was an amazing tour and highly recommend it. We booked a private tour with Captain Bryan, who was extremely entertaining, super knowledgeable and an outstanding host!!! Our family was visiting during the holiday season, who has been to Charleston many times and wanted to do something new. This is not your standard Charleston tour we learned new historical facts, got to see the inside Dock Street theater (which is beautiful) and had the opportunity to raise our glasses to toast the city of Charleston over a couple of drinks.

Captain Brian for the win! - I’m a Charleston local and both my South African girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Captain Brian has an extensive amount of knowledge and his delivery and ability to interact with people is exceptional. We look forward to joining him on the many other tours he has to offer. Thank you Captain Brian!

If you love history, this tour is for you! - This tour is for history buffs. Capt. Bryan really knows his history. We learned so much about Charleston's economic, architectural, and social history with plenty of lighthearted facts as well. We stayed in the city a couple of days after the tour and found ourselves pointing out some elements Capt. Bryan told us about during the tour.

The best tour! - We did three different tours over our long weekend in Charleston. This was by far the best. It was paced well, educational, interactive and we got to see so many things we hadn’t seen yet. 10/10 would recommend!
