Wonderful experience! Learned a lot of interesting history and visited some cool pubs we would not have seen otherwise! Guide was super friendly and personable! Would highly recommend!

Very interesting historical tour of The Rocks with two breweries and two pubs thrown in. Our guide was animated and enjoyed his job, who wouldn’t enjoy drinking beer and talking? Our group was a bit confused about our food options as we did the 6:30 pm tour, ending at 9:00. All food services conclude at 9:00 so we could not use our food voucher. My only suggestion would be to arrive a bit early at the meeting point and order food before the tour. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This was the worst Viator tour I’ve been on. The tour was scheduled to begin at 630 pm, include 5 drinks and dinner. Our guide, Simon was fine. For 3 hours we toured the Rocks and enjoyed 4 small beers (not 5 as promised) and found out that there was no dinner. After questioning, it became apparent that we were expected to go to another venue and have a meal before returning to the start of the tour. Everyone on the tour felt that this was misleading and disingenuous. Spending 3 hours sipping beer without anything to eat is ridiculous. This should have been clearly discussed at the beginning of the tour. It would have been easy to order food at the beginning of the tour so that people could have some food at a subsequent stop during the tour. This is no reflection on our guide Simon who did a good job. .

Simon and Brenton were great guides giving us the story of how the Rocks came to be. They would weave us through the main part of each gorgeous pub before bringing our group to a private room. The guys were also very knowledgeable of the local breweries. Each tasting also had cider and wine options. Don’t forget to use the meal at the Australian Heritage Hotel (before or after the tour). Good food, several options and a beverage is included. We used ours as lunch before our 2:30pm tour

Great experience and a lot of fun. Good pubs and decent amount of history. Would definitely do this one again.
