Adam was a great guide, he made it informative and encouraged questions. His enthusiasm for the rich history was contagious.

Come Live the Local Life with Captain Bryan or Historian Adam! This experience is for guests who enjoy sipping their way through a new city full of history. This is not a classic "sit there and shut up tour" but an opportunity to engage with a local. The licensed guide will meet guests at the initial bar establishment and receive a small complimentary snack and the opportunity to purchase some of the areas finest beers/ mixed drinks while the guide goes over the historical roots of the city. From there guests will walk the historical alley ways and cobblestone streets of Charleston to several cultural sites included alleys, churches, a theater, and 300 year old homes. A second bar will be the site of another drink opportunity where the guide will relate stories specifically regarding the Prohibition era in Charleston. Guests will share a range of emotions as we combine humor, history and a beverage or two and bring history to life. Come live the local life!

It wasn't what I thought it would be. You would assume on a hops walking tour, the hops would be included. I feel cheated that it wasn't relayed upfront that alcohol is not included in the $70 per couple fee.
