We had a small group of 7 and the fun and stories started immediately. Dave is such a personable and welcoming person that is was easy to be put at ease and feel included as part of the group. Wonderful tour, great time. Highly recommended!!

5.00So much history was shared along with a craft beer in each pub! Lisa was an excellent guide with tons of knowledge and great stories about each pub. The Pickled Monkey was my favorite - you’ll have to visit to find out the details. This is a nice walking tour through “The Rocks” historical area and a fun way to spend a couple hours as well as enjoy some local brews. Give it a try
