Charleston Historic Tours LLC · State Street
A two-hour history walk that starts in one bar and ends in another, with Prohibition stories in between. Pick it as the cheap adult add-on to a food tour; it is not a food tour itself.
The listing is plain about it: one small snack at the first bar, and every drink is bought by you at the two bars. What you pay $35 for is the guide and the route. It starts at 1:00 p.m. at the O-Bar at Oyster House, 70 State Street, and ends at Blind Tiger Pub, 36-38 Broad Street, with a cap of 10 guests.
In between you pass the Dock Street Theatre and the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon, and stop at the French Huguenot Church, Philadelphia Alley, Chalmers Street and the Old Slave Mart Museum, housed in part of the city’s last major slave market. Guests report a tour that is more history than hops, with Prohibition as the thread.
It has a 5.0 rating from 358 reviews. The listing does not recommend it for pregnant travelers or anyone with back problems, and it is not wheelchair accessible.

★★★★★The tour was more history based than hops focused; factual history not lure and legend. Two establishments were stops on the tour, both important to Charleston's history during Prohibition. [...]
