Great tour of golden! - Jonathan made what was already a fun idea into an amazing afternoon!! The tour took us to places in golden we had never known about and we heard countless stories about the Wild West and the founding of the city. We felt the tour was a great value and Jonathan made sure our needs were met at each stop. My only regret was not getting a group photo! We had a blast and would come back again in a minute

Great way to learn history and enjoy local beer - Such a fun way to learn about the history of Colorado and Golden. Chris is an amazing guide. The breweries we visited provided us to sit and relax while Chris told us the stories of the west. Then we had time to talk with others in the group and made some new friends.

Find something else to do - Honestly Jonathan was extremely knowledgeable (or appeared to be) but the whole experience was not as advertised (at least in our expectations). This would have been much more tolerable if it had been half as long. We have been on a few pub/history tours in the past and this fell significantly below expectations. I honestly cannot believe someone can talk that long with no interaction. It felt like we were in a middle school social studies class with no escape. While the facts (or maybe not?) were interesting for a while the intricate details were totally unnecessary and exhausting. While we appreciated Jonathans extensive descriptions it was just completely over the top; we literally felt hostage. I cannot begin to explain how this experience could have been better - it just needs a total reimagination.

Too long and theatrical - Too long. Only walked about 10 blocks (or less) total. Too much detailed talking. Wouldn’t call this a pub crawl - more like a history lesson. A few interesting stories but too much!!!
