Great tour and history of a few pubs and landmarks - Great walking tour. Unfortunately, it rained during our tour so we ended up sitting in the first pub for the first part of the experience. It was still very good and gave us more time to enjoy the pub atmosphere. The tour guide was very good and history of the town was presented excellently!! well worth the 2 1/2 hours to take the tour.

Fun and educational tour - This was a fun tour combining our love of history and craft beers. Sam our guide did a terrific job with telling the history of Boston, the taverns we went to and was able to suggest beers. We also met a lot of great people on the tour. I highly recommend it!

One of the highlights of our summer - Our tour was fun, memorable and informative. I have lived in the greater Boston area for 5 years now and I had no idea about half of the things and places we were taught about and exposed to on this tour. Our tour guide Cassandra was also an extremely funny, engaging and interesting person to talk to and guide us along this the little adventure! 10/10 would recommend!
