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.)

    Take this tour!

    Tour was interesting and fun. Capt Bryan is a fantastic story teller and just seems like a great person! He is definitely passionate about the topic, gives real historical stories, and is just a lot of fun. We really liked that the group was small (on purpose)—made for a much better experience. Would highly recommend.

    Captain Bryan is the best!!

    I had a group of ten women, and Bryan was kind enough to give us our own private tour. From the very beginning, everything was seamless. His instructions on where to meet were clear, and we found him with no problem at all. Bryan’s knowledge of Charleston and its history absolutely blew us away. He didn’t need a single cue card or note, yet he shared an incredible amount of history, fascinating details, and stories throughout the entire tour. Even our bar stops and drinks were historical! We learned so much without ever feeling like we were sitting through a history lesson. He has a real gift for storytelling and kept all ten of us completely engaged from start to finish. What we especially loved was that the stories Bryan shares are all based on true events and real Charleston history. He brings the city’s past to life in a way that is fascinating, funny, and incredibly memorable. His sense of humor and Southern charm made the experience even better. He was warm, personable, quick-witted, and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. Our entire group agreed that Bryan was one of the highlights of our trip to Charleston. If you’re looking for a tour that is entertaining, informative, authentic, and filled with personality, book with Bryan. We truly could not recommend him more highly. He is an exceptional guide and made us appreciate Charleston on an entirely different level. Five stars without hesitation!

    Unique Ghost and Bar Tour with History Twist!

    My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this tour. I had trouble convincing him to join a ghost tour but the way Captain Brian approaches the ghost stories with a history lesson made it worthwhile for both of us. The bars were lowkey but Captain Brian knew all the bar staff and the drinks came out perfectly. We were able to make friends with the other guests and even went to another bar he recommended with another couple after the tour. The final serial killer story was my favorite. Overall would recommend 10/10 and I’m even more impressed my boyfriend enjoyed it as much as I did. Thanks Cap !

    The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Charleston.

    How much does The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Charleston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Charleston is not rushed.

    Is The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 214 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Charleston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour?

    +

    Around 75 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Charleston can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Charleston and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Charleston within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Charleston?

    +

    Charleston's best experiences are small: house museum tours with an architectural historian, Gullah heritage walks, harbour sails at sunset and Lowcountry food crawls through the market district. Plantation day trips vary enormously in how honestly they handle the history, and our ranking factors that in directly. On Outty we rank every Charleston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Charleston historical walking tour with a Professor of History at The Citadel, Historic Charleston Guided Sightseeing Walking Tour, Hidden Alleyways and Historic Sites Small-Group Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Charleston?

    +

    March to May and September to November, the two mild shoulder windows. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Charleston?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour?

    +

    Included: Snacks. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour?

    +

    Please see the host of Tommy Condons as they will get you to the correct table. 160 Church Street, Charleston, SC 29401. *IF YOU BOOKED VIA A 3rd PARTY LIKE FEVER. Those platforms do not share your contact information. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to The Charleston Boo Hag and Brews Ghost and Bar Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
