“Jamie is The Philosopher of Charleston, and our group enjoyed his wit along with the stories of debauchery, bludgeoning, and political upheaval in Charleston. He led us on a walking tour to The Griffin, The Blind Tiger, and Bar Vaute, this last place I was honored to discover was only his third time taking a tour group. Along the trail, Jamie also shared stories about famous buildings, churches, and architecture that have scandalous pasts. Strong lessons in history with great cocktails! Thank you for the entertainment.”

“Captain Bryan was the absolute best tour I’ve ever had. From the tales of King Joffrey the turtle to a former Vice President’s exhumed corpse, Captain Bryan told accurate historical stories backed by his own research with a twist!

“MJ had a wealth of knowledge! Improvement - I wish that I was notified that I was the only person registered and given an option to postpone. MJ made me feel comfortable but I wish I had the option to change and be with more people. I ended up drinking faster than normal because I felt that we were just waiting for me to finish my drink.”
