Cheers to History and Hops! - A fantastic tour through some of Sydney’s oldest European pubs! Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also super fun and entertaining. We sampled a variety of beers and ciders while soaking in the city’s rich history and iconic sights. Excellent service and a great mix of booze, banter, and storytelling -highly recommend! 🍻🏙️🇦🇺

Interesting venues and brews, even better history - I really enjoyed this tour, there was no rush, we could learn about the history of the area and Pubs on the stops. No restrictions on taps so everyone can get the beer of their favorite style. I liked all four options that ere included with the ticket (and a couple more at the last stop). Doug was a great guide, very knowledgeable and fun to talk to about Australia in general, for those that had questions beyond the stops.

A must do - The local history was so entertaining. I loved the bars we tried, especially the rooftop one! Would do this again, 10/10.

Cheers To a Most Fascinating Tour! 🍻 - Time flew as we enjoyed David share more about the history of The Rocks, beer and how Sydney has evolved over the years. Not only did we share a lot of laughs, our curiosity is piqued and we return home with so many ideas to explore. Don’t miss this tour. David is informative, humorous and passionate about this subject matter: history and beer

Historic pubs, good, local beverages and a history lesson. - The Historic Pubs tour was both a pleasant tour of 4 pubs in The Rocks and a lesson in the history and development of Sydney and The Rocks. Our guide Simon did a great job of making the tour fun and historically informative. .

Cheers! - Our guide Colin was excellent - full of knowledge and enthusiasm. The beer/drinks were very generous on the tour and we were very happy to have eaten a hearty meal in advance. We knew there would not be food on the tour so it worked out great for us to have an early dinner (we went to The Rocks Cafe) and then the drinks. Colin took us to places we would not have found on our own, and every place we stopped had a designated table waiting for us. Our 20 year old daughter joined us on the tour and it was a fun thing for all of us to do.
