We had an amazing time on the History & Hops tour in Charleston with Captain Bryan! The tour was the perfect mix of fun, history, and a laid-back atmosphere. We enjoyed a couple of drinks along the way while exploring the beautiful French Quarter and learning so much about Charleston’s rich history. Captain Bryan was fantastic — you can genuinely tell he loves sharing everything he’s learned about the city. His passion and storytelling made the experience engaging from start to finish. The tour never felt rushed and struck a great balance between informative and entertaining. If you’re visiting Charleston and want a unique way to experience the city, we highly recommend this tour with Captain Bryan!
Probably the best tour we did in Charleston. captain Bryan was fantastic. Gave a great history at each location and all along the way plus killer drink recommendations at each bar that were spot on. His tour is a must for anyone wanting the best of history and drink ls that Charleston has to offer. The icing on the cake was his extensive list of recommendations around the area for the rest of our visit.
Captain Brian was funny, detailed, flexible and engaging. He gave us a chance to get all of our questions in.
Bryan was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable about the history of Charleston. We were able to see the oldest bar that was in the city before prohibition.
We learned so much on this trip AND it was a blast! Can't wait to come back
Adam was great! Very knowledgeable on the history of the city. He was chill and fun with our group. So glad we booked this!
Captain Bryan was very knowledgeable and passionate about Charleston’s history! The way he presented the information was engaging and fun! Loved that we had the opportunity to start and end the tour with a drink! We started as strangers and left as friends!
Captain Brian was fantastic! His knowledge of the history surrounding the Charleston area and prohibition was exceptional. Brian told some interesting stories; ones I won’t forget! We highly recommend his tour!!
Bryan is deeply knowledgeable not only about Charleston's history but also how that 'local' (sometimes obscure) story has affected US history in important ways. Bryan 's storytelling kept us all engaged and entertained. My husband and friends highly recommend him.
Captain Bryan was informative, passionate and organized. A lifelong Charleston resident, he knew the territory and offered unique, in depth information about the town. It was a very solid activity.
This is a unique tour. Adam did a great job. Even made a stop inside the oldest theater and “pick” church. Very knowledgeable and a fun trait starting in a bar and ending in one - allows you a chance to meet some nice folks on your tour and trade some stories. Final destination is the Blind Tiger - very cool outdoor space and my wife and I aren’t even big drinkers. This tour is for everyone
Captain Bryan did a great job sharing a lot of detailed historic info. He is a local so he had interesting details to add. We had fun checking out the pubs at the beginning and end.
We booked for the “hops”, but what we walked away with was a fascinating and unique account of Charleston’s history. Capt Bryan was simply the best. Engaging and fun. His family are locals going back generations and he truly cares about giving a rich and accurate account of Charleston’s most interesting stories, unlike some guides who over-fictionalize for dramatic effect. You won’t regret going on this tour!
Great tour for the money and without a long time commitment. Adam is a knowledgeable historian and knows about great libations as well.
Captain Bryan was excellent. Very interactive an insightful tour, especially as first timers to Charleston
This was simply the best tour ever. Captain Bryan was so welcoming, fun and knowledgeable. I’ve visited Charleston many times, and I now know the city more deeply because of Captain Bryan. Do yourself a favor a book this tour before it sells out. It’s incredible.
This was a very fun tour and it was filled with lots of great information and tasty cocktails. Great memories
We had a great time! We learned a lot! My adult kids said " best part of the trip".
This was a highlight of my bachelorette trip! Bryan was the epitome of what you want from a tour guide - engaging, knowledgeable, and an overall good vibe! The 5 star reviews (which made me book with no questions asked in the first place) are so well deserved. Bryan is clearly passionate about what he does and has a true love for the history of Charleston. We all appreciated his knowledge-sharing and how he was able to keep us all entertained for those who aren't history buffs themselves. I will be recommending this tour to anyone that asks "what should I do while in Charleston". Thank you for such a memorable and fun experience, Bryan!
CPT Brian is amazing! He has a wealth of knowledge and grew up in Charleston. We had an amazing tour and would recommend to anyone!
