Great Pub Crawl - This tour is definitely worth the cost, you get four full glasses of beer or cider. Honestly I could not drink all the beer. Our tour guide provided informative history facts about the area and her delivery kept the tour interesting. I went on the tour on 7/19/24 at 7:00pm and it was just the right time before the places we visited got too crowded.
