Additional Information

Is it a guided tour through breweries with some ghost tales woven in, or a ghost tour with occasional brewery stops? The guests get to make that call, but one thing is for certain - this isn’t your ordinary ‘sit quietly and listen’ journey. Instead, it is an interactive experience where you can engage in a conversation with a local inhabitant of Charleston. This unique combination of a pub crawl and ghost tour takes visitors to two bars, with complimentary starters served at the first stop and drink suggestions provided by the guide. The tour also includes a stroll past local cemeteries and lanes, where the visitors will hear ghost accounts associated with these spots, some more than two centuries old. The tour concludes at a striking local park, known as the execution site of one of the first female serial killers. But beware, lingering too long after the tour might make you a part of the ghostly lore! (Please note, the tour does not involve entering the graveyards.)

  • Guests must be 21+ and bring valid photo ID

We heart Captain Bryan - Captain Bryan was the absolute best tour I’ve ever had. From the tales of King Joffrey the turtle to a former Vice President’s exhumed corpse, Captain Bryan told accurate historical stories backed by his own research with a twist! Ghosts and spirits across multiple cultures were brought to life on this bar crawl. Can’t recommend this tour enough!

Informative and fun tour! - This is such a fun and informative ghost tour! Captain Bryan (tour guide) is a local and you can tell he is super passionate about sharing the history, both good and bad, of the Holy City. We loved the mix of spooky with real stories from real people who walked the streets of Charleston. The two awesome bars were a fun addition to the night. We also really appreciated the small group of the tour, it felt more personal and intimate and led to us getting to know our guide and fellow guests along the way. Captain Bryan made sure we were well taken care of and sent an extensive list of recommendations for the remainder of our time in the area when the tour concluded. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and unique way to learn about Charleston!

A learning experience for sure! - Bootiiful Good, knowledgeable guide, nice group, interesting spots to visit with much history involved. People with low night vision and mobility issues might find this challenging. Let the guide know if there is a problem, and he will be most accommodating. Thanks, Captain Bryan!

Fantastic Time! - We are "second timers" with Captain Brian. My wife and I had such a great time the first time in 2022, we treated our good friends to a tour. Captain Brian is enthusiastic and a wealth of knowledge about the history and hauntings of Charleston. What a wonderful evening.
