A scouser and 3 Americans walk into a bar - Came on this tour because I like pubs and drinking pints so it was perfect for me. Meeting point was easy to find. Tony was a great tour guide. Very informative. Only a small group. 3 in total. The pubs and the area round them was a nice lively place. Did 4 pubs and learned the history before going in and trying some local beers or whatever you want. Tour starts and finishes at nearly the same place so you get to stay in this local area and try more beers or go an do more sightseeing

Legends, lagers and “lobsta” rolls - Our guide (for some reason, I’ve forgotten his name) was an accomplished former school teacher, and it really showed. He had a mastery of the historical subject matter, including local myths and legends. He also gave great advice on where to have the best lobster roll, as well as dissecting Bostonians’ accents. Would love to have the photo in front of the Green Dragon.

Pass on this one. - Very nice guide. Problem is we got a bit of Boston Pub history, practically no history of or information on beer (like what makes New England IPA) and beer tastings was “there’s the bar, buy yourself a beer”. No planned tastings or group seating. Basically we went to two pubs, got a small bit of the pubs unique history and that’s it. Felt more like we were just pointed in a direction and that’s it. I’ve been on beer tours before and this one needs improvement. Suggest side room or designated area. pub owner greeting, organized tastings and description of what we are tasting. Hard to do at happy hour times but schedule off hour times.
