Good way to spend 2 hours - Very enjoyable few hours. I was only one on the tour which was a bit disappointing but at the same time beneficial to hear and ask more questions.

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.
