Perfect Mix of History and Drinks - Kieran was outstanding. The tour was the perfect mix of history and beer. We saw parts of the city that we would have never visited. We had a blast.

2 pubs and historic foot tour - We learned so much about the history of this part of Toronto from our guide. She took us to places and shared insights that we would have completely missed if not for our guide. Very personable and fun tour!

Great way to see and understand the city with added beer! - Dave was a welcoming and knowledgeable host, covering both beer and city facts. It was like walking the city with a friend who happens to know about history and brewing.

Lovely afternoon - Royden adapted the tour very nicely, since I was the only one on the tour I got to give my I input in how the tour is structured, very knowledgeable and friendly. Great conversations!

Great tour, highly recommend - Dave was our guide for we three couples from the US. He did a fantastic job in super hot and muggy weather. He kept us in the shade as much as possible. Interesting history of the city described in a very engaging and entertaining way. Loved the stop at the St Lawrence Market, would love it if there was a way to allow a few minutes for shopping. The stops for beer at two breweries were very much appreciated as the weather was so hot. We all enjoyed the Distillery District. Highly recommend.

Beer, History and Conversation - I was lucky enough to be the only person on the Beer Tour! This meant Dave, my guide, and I had lots of time to chat about the history of the city, beer and sport. I'd actually already done a few other tours - which covered some of the topics Dave did - but he was able to add to it. So, it was a great balance!
We went to two great bars - where I sampled 6 smaller beers - and it was a great warm up for the Maple Leafs Fanzone I attended in the evening. Thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Beer and history. Fun! - Enjoyed learning the proper method for tasting beer. Jason was a knowledgeable tour guide. We felt like there was a little too much time between tastings because of the Christmas Market, but enjoyed the 2 places we visited
