This is it - Cody spun and weaved very interesting and fun tales in between sips of great tasting beer and local pubs. We ducked into small alley ways, nooks and crannies to get to the pubs. Never a dull moment for several hours. The best entertainment in town. Wirth the money....with Cody.

Extremely enjoyable tour or Pubs and History - Ours was a small group of 6 that was led through a few alleys and streets on short journeys between 3 pubs. At this pubs, historian and beer expert Coby gave previously unknown stories highlighting Charleston history. It was a peaceful, enlightening, and highly enjoyable 3 hours. I’ve been on other pub tours where you were essentially chugging beers rapidly to go to the next pub. NOT THIS! The drinks were sipped leisurely each over 45 minutes or so while llistening to Coby calmly laying out the pertinent history, with food at the 1st and last pubs. I simply do not know how this could have been any better.

Excellent Perspective - maybe the 6th "P"??!! :) - Had a great time with Coby, he's a wealth of knowledge and makes it fun! It's an interesting perspective he's put together to teach you about the history of "Pubs, Pirates, Politics, Pints and Prostitutes" Enjoy - Cheers!

Enjoyable and entertaining evening - Alex was a great guide. Provided a very entertaining, informative, and knowledgeable tour. He was understanding and accommodating with a mobility issue with one in our group. Very good variety of places and even adjusted the places we visited due to some being father away or extremely busy. Coby joined at the last stop and was also very knowledgeable and a great storyteller. Overall a very enjoyable time. Definitely recommend.

From tour guides to friends - We were scheduled for a tour the night a big storm blew in. Coby was kind enough to reschedule for the following evening. Alex was our tour guide and he regaled us with tons of great stories and facts. The biggest thing was how patient and accommodating he was with my hip issues/pain and not being able to keep a fast pace. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. Coby met us at the last stop and added to the fun. We ended up having so much fun together I now consider us friends, not just customers.

Mixed reviews on Charleston tour - Great pubs visited. Kobe is very knowledgeable about Charleston history! But the pre-selected food choices were limited and dialogue was very one-way.

Don’t schedule this tour - We were notified the day before that tour might be canceled- that we would be notified the day of at 1:00 if it was. Not receiving notification we were getting ready and i sent an email to be sure and was told - “Sorry forgot to let you know it’s canceled. Vacation spoiler!! No way to run a business and you have to wait 7 days to get your money back.
