The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour
Description
Is this a walking brew tour with a side of ghosts or a ghost tour with a side of brews?? While guests will have to decide that for themselves, we can tell you this is not an average "sit there and shut up " tour, but rather an opportunity to engage back and forth with a local Charlestonian. As a combined bar and ghost tour guests will visit two different bars where complimentary appetizer will be served at the first location and the guide will provide drink recommendations. As part of the tour guests will also walk by and receive history based ghost stories near graveyards, alleyways, and a haunted dungeon. The second bar is an historic building with a fantastic local beer selection. Guests will ward off the spirits with some "spirits." The tour will wind down at a hauntingly beautiful local park where one of the first female serial killers was hung. Don't stick around too long after the tour or you may end up a ghost yourself! (Please note we do not enter the graveyards.)

Incredible ghost tour from a local of Charleston who cares about the history of his city. Can’t say enough good things about this tour. I wish we could have done other tours with Capt Bryan while we were here. Thanks for an awesome tour!
A great guy! Funny and engaged. Love the historical background twist to the tour. Unexpected, but loved it!
Very knowledgeable historian ………….. Great recommendations for breakfast the next day. Helpful in all areas.
This was a fabulous tour. If you're looking for unsubstantiated stories about people who didn't exist, even if they're good stories, this isn't your tour. But if you're looking for a history-based approach to the lore of this fascinating, complicated and beautiful City, you couldn't do a better tour than this. The group size was small to provide a more intimate experience and we all had a good time. Highly recommend and would do it again on a future visit.
Shelly, thanks so much for the wonderful review. You are so right we don’t have to fictionalize the past for the sake of tours, history is incredible as it is. Safe travels and until next time ! -Capt B
Captain Bryan was wonderful! We had such a great time. We all totally enjoyed his Charleston ghost stories and the fact that he grew up there, was so helpful! He took great care of us all and are hoping to go back and take another tour with him! Would totally recommend if in the Charleston area!
We had an excellent tour with Captain Bryan! He is very knowledgeable and has a great delivery of his information. He is a historian, so the information he provides is based on evidence of actual events. We stopped at great bars and enjoyed stories and spirits! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun evening!
I had such a fun time with y’all! Please don’t hesitate to reach out on a future visit. Im glad you found the history based approach to the ghost stories more relatable. I am an historian first and foremost. Yall watch out for the Boo Hag 👻 ! y’all have a friend here in Charleston and safe travels Alexandria
Capt Bryan gave us an amazing tour. We loved all the history and ghost stories. He made it super fun and made us feel special! We would definitely book again or recommend to others. Thank you Capt. Bryan.
Capt Bryan was entertaining and a wealth of local knowledge. He was measured and respectful in the telling of past lives who shaped his town. The presence of the past lives on. We met 4 other couples from other parts of the US. Good group size. Two stops for refreshments. Well paced.
The tour guide Captain B was informative, knowledgeable, witty and followed up with warm southern charm!!
The guide seemed to talk about himself a lot. Frankly, it was boring. I was solo and had hoped that it would be more fun
I didn’t have any solo travelers in the last two months on this tour I have double checked … this review was left on Christmas Day… so apologies if I disregard this review as a little suspect. If you actually were a guest on my tour and decided to wait over two months to leave a review on Christmas Day, I really hope your holiday season got a little bit better! If this is another company messing with my reviews karma comes around 👻 -Capt B
