5.00Luke was a great tour guide! Made the experience really easy and fun. All the pubs had interesting stories, and Luke added his beer recs as a local, which was great. Would definitely recommend this tour if you are looking for something low-key, not too long, and an activity where you are learning something new and enjoying a beverage :)
A great afternoon out with Harvey!
