Great knowledge of the local area and local pubs. Really good if you want to find some quaint little drinking spots and get a great history behind the name and story

So much quirky history and great drinks! Lots of fun trivia throughout the night and the chance to engage with the other folks on our tour. There were ghost stories, gin (that I swore I didn't like but the bartender got me to change my mind!), and yummy ciders! Lachlan was a great tour guide and very charismatic! Cheers!
