“A well-organized tour and very friendly guide. The fact that he had tables reserved for us made me feel welcomed in the pubs and not like an intruding tourist being pushed into a crowded pub for just one drink and then rush to move on. We had time to relax and enjoy the drinks, food, music and ambiente of the pubs. It is also a safe and fun way for a solo tourist to go out on the town.”
