This tour was booked by our group of ex-Coast Guardsmen and wives all in Charleston for a reunion. This was my favorite activity of the week. It was a bit surreal to me following our personal pirate, MIke Coker, through the streets of historic Charleston. His costume was great and he had no problem sharing his props for picture taking....

We have taken this tour twice with two different guides: Mike and John. Both brought a very unique experience to the tour. The guides do not memorize scripts; they are all historians and speak off the cuff, weaving stories and tales, and interspersing humor. And each time it was a different tour and a different personality, so it was not... More

This was great fun. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in history and booze. We covered a lot of ground -- both physically and intellectually -- with our guide, Mike. St. Patrick's Day can be a little crazy in Charleston, but Mike navigated us through it really well. In addition, he told us some great stories... More

My husband and I throughly enjoyed the tour. The night was a treasure trove of unexpected entertainment and local finds. Mike was very knowledgeable and able to answer all the questions from the group. We've been in Charleston for 15 years and the tour included three pubs that we had never visited. I was introduced to a popular sipping vodka,... More

Very interesting info on the tour and the pubs were all cool. We made lots of new friends that we hung out with for the rest of the night. I would definitely do this tour again sometime. More

Wow, I'm kinda surprised at all the great reviews. I was not impressed by the tour. It was rainy and my group wasn't the raging drunks that they normally are, but wow this was a bad tour! Not sure it could have been much worse. Nice tour guide, but horrible tour. More

Met at Washington Park after dark. Great setting with low level lights and lots of trees. Big group, and most everyone had already had a beer or two, I think. Lots of "locals" this trip. Guide was dressed in pirate costume and was well informed throughout the tour. He did like to talk, and talk, sometime. Gave some info. on... More

Our group of 2 couples had the pleasure of being entertained by Mike in his pirate attire and we enjoyed every moment of the experience. The anecdotes and stories that he shared were entertaining and interesting and the beer was delicious. I will for sure be taking out of town guests on this tour whenever I have the opportunity. Thanks... More

Thought it was on a bus or carriage, but it was on foot , which made it much better. Walking thru the streets and ally's was great. recommend it to anyone. 24" pizza afterwards with new friends. More
