Great Experience and well worth your time!

The tour guide Captain B was informative, knowledgeable, witty and followed up with warm southern charm!!

Meh

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

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Holy Ebenezer Scrooge! Well someone is having a bad holiday season huh ? You mean to tell me you’re sitting at home throwing out bad reviews on Christmas Day. I mean at least wait a day. No wonder you were a solo traveler… 😅 ok ok just kidding. But for real it’s almost too obvious and kind of funny how I went thru my records and don’t have a single solo traveler booked for December or even November. So either you went on this tour over two months ago and decided to wait until Christmas Day to leave a review, you have the wrong business, or this is most likely a competitor just bashing other Charleston tours. Regardless, merry Christmas and happy holidays back to you. For future guests I hope you read the multitude of other reviews as this one seems a little suspicious. And if it is real and you have that bad of a time with me on a tour, just talk to me after the tour and I’ll provide a refund. No biggie. Obviously based on other reviews we usually don’t have too many problems. Wishing everyone a happy holiday season ! -Capt B

Captain Bryan was great....

Autumn_S, May 2025
Captain Bryan was great. He was super knowledgeable and you could tell he was passionate about the history of Charleston. This tour focuses more on the historical lore surrounding ghost rather than a spooky ghost tour but we loved it.

Historic Ghost Tour

Sue_B, May 2025
Brian was very knowledgeable and passionate with the true history of Charleston history. Highly recommend!

Highly Recommend!

Ben_G, Apr 2025
Highly recommend! My wife and I had an amazing time and learned so much from Bryan. He is so passionate about what he does and is a true local with such a wealth of knowledge to share. Will do another one of Bryan’s tours when we come back to Charleston!

A Great History lesson with drinks

Captain Bryan was so passionate, I had a lot of fun on the tour! He had great recs at the bars, too.

History. Ghosts. Cocktails. What else is needed?

Ben_R, Nov 2024
Found a fantastic evening experience. Captain Bryan was a great host who relayed great factual history, ghost stories, and a couple of great tavern stops. Book it and get ready for a great evening!

Great time

Joanne_C, Sep 2024
Bryon was extremely accommodating, friendly and fun to be with. He was very knowledgeable and fun to be with.

Spirits with a touch of spirits

Wendy_M, Jul 2024
Capt Bryan makes this experience. His historical knowledge plus story telling ability will make this a fun time. Add in the spirits with the spirits and how can you go wrong? Some of his personal touches I will never forget. If in doubt take this ghost tour. Cheers!

We heart Captain Bryan

Laura_M, May 2024
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!

Entertaining Evening

Laura_P, May 2024
We enjoyed our evening with Capt. Bryan!. His stories are fun upbeat, entertaining and interesting. A little zest, a little spice, great drink selections, with the Capt.'s advice😊!

Exceptional Service!

ArielCarson, May 2024
Captain Bryan's tour was equal parts educational and spooky. Would highly recommend this activity when visiting Charleston!

...

Allyson_R, Mar 2024

Alley friends

Scott_R, Mar 2024
Alley stories were very informative. Great history of street materials. 😀 make you think of life back then.

Love the Boo Hag tour!

Lisa_T, Feb 2024
Captain Bryon knows a ton of Charleston history and uses that to put his ghost stories in context. It was educational and engaging, and everyone in my group had a blast! Highly recommend the Boo Hag ghost tour, particularly to history buffs.

Fun historical ghost tour!

Barbara_G, Nov 2023
Definitely worth booking your ghost tour with Brian. Went to a couple of bars and learned so much history about Charleston and the local ghost lore. Look forward to going on some of Brian’s other tours.

Such a good time!

rhouse3211, Nov 2023
This tour is a really good time, Captain Bryan is both knowledgeable and entertaining. He has some obscure information you might not get from other tour guides. Keep an open mind and remember this is the South and not all the history here is pleasant, but needs to be remembered. I would definitely recommend another tour with him!

Expert Host

Stacie_M, Nov 2023
Pure gold! Captain Bryan is a proven winner. I have gone on so many tours in the area, but rest assured if you are fortunate enough to get into this one you will get it all. The history and ghost stories are not only told with accuracy, unlike other guides who tend to bend the truth a bit, but are told with such personality and passion you are sure to have a scare and a laugh. The bars are not so bad either lol.

Fun night!

Caroline_D, Oct 2023
Bryan, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and fun! We learned about some local lore and saw some interesting sites….as well as had a few cocktails!. Was a fun way to start our first visit to Charleston!

Such a fun experience!...

A fun way to learn a bit of history

Jessica_L, Jun 2023
A fun way to learn some history! Enjoyed the stops in history-steeped pubs and enjoyed the creepy look at Charleston’s history. Capt Brian was a great tour guide!

Bryan is such a great...

Kate_H, Jun 2023
Bryan is such a great storyteller that it captures everyone’s attention and stayed fun while time flew.

Charleston, SC ghost walk

Kristen_M, May 2023
My life long friend and I, who live on opposite ends of the Eastern coast, decided to take a vacation and meet in the middle. We booked a tour with Captain Bryan and had a phenomenal time! He is knowledgeable, engaging and attentive. Highly recommend engaging Cap’n B.

Captain Bryan prevents boohags

Nick_T, Mar 2023
We had fun at every stop, and Bryan gave us the historical review of every account, then the speculation of what might have happened.

The Best and Most Authentic Ghost Tour in Charleston

Laura_P, Mar 2023
Bryan was great! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Charleston. He was able to share his wealth of knowledge of the TRUE ghost stories of Charleston in a way that was intriguing as well as funny. Not only did we learn about the ghosts in the area but he was very educated on the history of Charleston and brought us back through time to tell the stories of the spirits roaming the streets to this day! Bryan gave us great beverage recommendations and you can tell he loves the town he grew up in and is well liked and respected by the locals around town. I would highly recommend hanging out with Bryan for a night and experiencing his knowledge, passion and humor. He made the experience feel less like a typical tour and more like sharing stories with a group of friends. Thanks again for being so great and accommodating Bryan!
