5.00What a fun tour! We were with Lyndon, who took us around to the really fun local pubs and shared all kinds of fun stories about the area and its development over the years. Loved hearing his explanation the cask ales-totally new information for us. One of the pubs is supposed to be haunted, but we didn’t get to go in, because it was closed—if you go on a weekday, make sure you ask about that one and let us know if the ghost knocks your beer over.

5.00Great Experience! We had a lot of fun with our group and our guide was fantastic. We visited four pubs and learned the unique history of each one as well as many of the landmarks along the way. We learned about some of the unique brews offered at each of the pubs as well as the history of beer in general.
