Our guide Kenneth was fantastic. He brought us to 3 different bars (plus a bonus market to get a "walking beer" because we told him that drinking on the street where we are from is illegal and he felt we needed to have a new experience. We did not protest). All of the bars had their own personality and their own beer vibe. Sitting down with a local and having a conversation over a beer was a great way to actually learn about not only where you are, but the people. Kenneth was a wealth of knowledge about the area and a pretty awesome guy. This tour, and Kenneth in particular, gets 5 stars from me!

It’s fun and interesting! You learn about the city, the culture, some history and get to enjoy spots you probably would never had known about! Plus the beer is delicious! Kenneth was an excellent guide- friendly, funny and knowledgeable.

Great guide, Lucas. Easy going, informative. Nice bars- beware- they smoke in the bars! But outdoor seating in most cases.
