We really enjoyed the time spent with both old, and new friends and I hope our paths cross once again.
– John M. | TripadvisorThis was great private tour! Coby was very knowledgeable about the area and beer making it a fun way to see Charleston. The bus picked us up & dropped us off in Isle of Palms so we didn’t have to coordinate Ubers which was a huge plus. We would definitely recommend it to a group of beer lovers or anyone wanting to have some fun (like us)!

Coby was a super knowledgeable host and had the music queued up and ready to rock the minute we stepped on the bus. We were able to do two different breweries with excellent beer selections. We also appreciated that the tour took the guesswork out of Friday night plans! The pick up and drop off location were easy to find and centrally located. I would highly recommend booking this tour!

– Haley H. | GoogleWe had a great time on this tour. When we have done similar tours in the past, we were basically dropped off and picked up. Coby actually stays with you, picks the beers out for you, and teaches you the history and background of the style of beer you are sipping on. It is a full experience and Coby had such interesting stories. We all enjoyed it and would recommend it.

He had great knowledge of the history of both the beer, and the city itself, and the tour was much more insightful than we expected. Additionally - You will drink a ton of beer, and a very diverse selection as well. Would definitely book another tour with Coby.
