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.

Our tour guide, Coby was entertaining, informative and interesting. We enjoyed it immensely! The beer, the stories and the food were all great.

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.

Ellen_M

Very knowledgeable and learned about off beaten path sites and great stories behind Charleston History. The pubs had a meaningful history to our stops as well as the drinks and apps. Would recommend this tour and ask for Alex as your tour guide very fun!

We had a great time on this tour. The tour guide Coby is very knowledgeable about historical Charleston and the local beers. Made some friends with the other couples.

So much fun and so much education about the history of Charleston (Charlestown). Coby was so knowledgeable about all things Charleston and had us mesmerized with all of the stories. Lots of history about pirates and politics and prostitutes (oh my). Lol. The time just flew by with his stories and great drinks at each stop. It was nice to have tables and spaces set aside for us even on a busy Saturday night. It was a great bonus that he’s also a beer conneseur (certified cicerone) so we learned quite alot about beer too! Would highly recommend Coby and the Historic Bar Tour!

Valerie_R

Alex paused throughout our time together to point out places and faces of architectural and historical interest, providing great anecdotal references to place all this information in context. Conversation over beers and bites, or while walking along was easy and fun as well as informative. Alex brought us to three great pubs where we were greeted warmly and treated well. This was a great afternoon!
