Wonderful tour - Our guide Aaron was wonderful. It was his first solo tour and a few things outside of his control went wrong and he was able to make adjustments and make it all work. He showed us three different pubs, and because the other people on our tour were expecting a food tour he was able to include that as well. We met some great people, and he shared a bunch of history with us as well.

In depth learning about beer - Great tour with Fran, our guide. She was very knowledgeable about the brewing process and the differentiation between types and tastes of beers. Easy walking, even after several beers! Haha! Highly recommend

11/10 Would Recommend - So I wasn't able to do the Glasgow tour because they were short a guide that night, but Sara communicated days in advance to let me know my options. I didn't want to miss out on this tour, so she worked with me to find a time that worked for me and I ended up doing the Edinburgh version of this tour instead - with just me! Sara is one of the most amazing tour guides I've ever had. She's really built an empire by creating these tours. She knows all of the spots in the city - pointers you didn't even know you needed! She knows her beer and she knows her Scottish facts. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Edinburgh and will be booking this tour again if I ever return to either city. I'm sure you'll, too, learn a lot and make memories in Glasgow or Edinburgh. Thanks, Sara!

Beer Tour - Iain was very knowledgeable and friendly! We tasted some really unique and interesting beers. I learned about beer production methods and Scottish history, and some of the murals and statues along the tour route. It was really fun and a good value for the money.

Beer in Scotland - The best way to see a new city and get history is through a beer tour. Ian is knowledgeable and keeps the history interesting. Well worth the tour.
