5.00Craig was awesome! He took a ton of time explaining Australia's geography and history. He even drew a very impressive map 🤣 the beer/pubs selected were interesting and rich with history. 10/10 recommend. Request Craig as your guide!

5.00This tour was a great way to visit bars in The Rocks while learning about the area. We saw new spots and learned a lot during the tour while enjoying four drinks. The pubs can get very busy, but If you’re on this tour, there will be a spot reserved for the group. Doug was a great tour guide! He was knowledgeable of the area and history, and also helped us choose drinks to try. We had a great time and would recommend if you like pubs and history!
Great beer and historical tour.

5.00Brenton was awesome. Great history. We had so much fun. We laughed like we were old friends. He knew so much about the area and about each pub and the beers. If you want to enjoy an afternoon of conversation and beer this is your tour. Highly recommend.
