Drinks and History! - Such a fun tour! We loved our tour guide Catherine. She was very knowledgeable. The pacing was a little quick, but doable (if you can down a drink pretty quick).

Boston History With a Twist - The crawling was informative and entertaining. Our guide presented Boston history with a twist. We did 4 pubs that were close by for easy walking and reflective of the bar community along with a good selection of local beers. One of our party did not drink beer and had a variety of other drinks to choose from. I would recommend having a meal before you crawl. But we did buy some chips and salsa at one of the pubs. As a heads up the meeting place for the tour is on the side of the Sam Adam’s pub by the Sam Adam’s statue.

Sip and learn! - I booked this for our group while my parents were visiting us in Boston and it was incredible. Our guide Julie was fun and very informative. There were a few of us who live in Boston (some born and bred) and we all learned things about the history of the city we didn’t know before. It’s an awesome way to meet fun people and learn some of the city’s rich history!

Really glad I booked this - I really enjoyed this tour, our guide (I think her name was Hattie!?) was super enthusiastic and told us all about Boston history. I am not a beer drinker so I opted for the 'dry' package and ordered my own drinks at the bar. I went solo to this and met people easily, we even went to another bar after the tour in our group!
