CHS history told in a thoughtful (and funny) way - My friends and I had a fantastic tour with Captain Bryan. He told the history of CHS while covering drinking and city history. He kept the group moving and laughing. He takes pride in his hometown’s history and is clearly very knowledgeable.

More history than hops! - The tour was more history based than hops focused; factual history not lure and legend. Two establishments were stops on the tour, both important to Charleston's history during Prohibition. I am not a history buff but thoroughly still enjoyed the stories Captain Bryan told. He was interesting and engaging, tying in known and little known facts about Charleston's standing landmarks. Being raised in the city of Charleston, Bryan had such a breadth of knowledge that made his tour unique!

Our tour around... - Our tour around Charleston with Captain Bryan exceeded our expectations for a walking tour! Bryan was charming, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about the lesser-known historical tidbits that tied in with more well-known facts. The bars, drinks, and snacks were great - 11/10 would recommend!

10/10 Highly Recommend! - This was a great tour! I loved that Capt Bryan had done the research that showed dedication and passion for his subject! This wasn't a scripted tour regurgitating information regardless of veracity. You really get a feel for the pride and hard work that Bryan puts into his tour. He made sure everyone in the group was included and the bars that we stopped at had great offerings on tap!

Take the Tour! - Captain Bryan KNOWS his stuff! I learned quite a bit of history that I didn't know before, despite the fact that I grew up in Charleston! Captain Bryan's passion for history and city of Charleston was evident and contagious. This was a fun tour starting with drink stop, walking through history, and ending with a drink stop! I would highly recommend this tour and any tour led by Captain Bryan. Afterwards he sent out a list of spectacular Charleston recommendations.
