10/10

This experience was great! Van was super informative and engaging. The two hours flew by and there are plenty of bars to check out once the tour is over 10/10!!

Pub Crawl Don’t Run

Our guide was a fun and enthusiastic one! His love of history is obvious and he loves sharing that knowledge! Thanks for a great time! Would recommend #5 and #6 at Samuel Adams Tap Room and the fish and chips at the Bell in Hand.

Amazing tour

Vann was an excellent guide. He was enthusiastic and had a deep understanding of the history of the area and was knowledgeable about the beer, beer types and the Boston brewing scene. He was very engaging and conversed with us about a range of different topics. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Pub crawl.

Tony was great. Fun time. Be aware, unlike food tours, you purchase all of your own drinks on the pub crawl.
