What you can expect

Sip your way through 300 years of local history on this guided tour of Downtown Charleston that includes two bars and historic stops in between. (Drinks are not included in price of tour).

Meet your guide at the first bar, where you will sample a small local appetizer and get the chance to purchase some of the area's finest local beers or cocktails. As you savor your drink, listen to your guide's commentary of the historical roots of the city.

From there, stroll through the charming alleyways and cobblestone streets of Charleston to several cultural sights including a hidden alleyway, original city theater, and 300-year-old homes. We save the best for last and stop at a second bar to finish the tour and hear stories of the Prohibition era and its effects on the city's residents.

Guests will learn important facts from colonial era drinking history all they way thru prohibition covering important topics like piracy and the famous figures along the way.

The two bars guests will visit as part of the tour have at least 7-8 local beverage options and must be a historic structure!
