5.00Devis was a great guide and was accommodating to my mom’s slower walking speed. We all had such a fun time! You pay as a group, so be sure to have some €2 and €0.50 pieces. We had four in our group so a €10 bill worked for each place.
Great tour

2.00Very expensive for what you get. The information we received was limited about the different locations. At some locations we could not enter because there was no reservation, so it was skipped. It was nice if the price included 1 beer for example. It wasn't really a brewery but more of a big café
Enjoyed learning about...
