Excellent tour! - I was passing through Bristol with some friends on the way to Cardiff and couldn't find any beer tours that started early enough in the day to work with our schedule so I reached out to Heather who arranged a customised version of the tour for us. We all had a great time trying beers in 3 breweries! Heather was great with the communication and even gave us some recommendations for Cardiff. I would highly recommend

Fantastic - Excellent. Great selection of beers, different venues to suit all tastes. My favourite was Elmers, an absolute gem with great music & atmosphere. Even heavy rain didn't spoil it for us. One of the venues closed unexpectedly on the day due to a bereavement. The host dealt with it really well by getting in touch straight away and arranging extra beer at one of the other venues. She even texted when I didn't see her email about the change. Great service, thank you!

There's a pub! Mine's a half pint! - An absolutely lovely idea, a good selection of pubs, a good ensamble of beers. I also loved the guide with the fun facts - I spent the rest of my visit looking at the iron edgings.

Great activity! - An enjoyable afternoon spent enjoying different beers and pubs. Nice selection available and enjoyable even for an amateur beer lover (like me). Was a gift for my friends and they really enjoyed it. Relaxed and can be done at your own pace. All the staff were nice and informative.

Worth every penny! - Booked this on a bit of a whim for my mates stag do and it was bloody fantastic. We would have almost certainly walked past most of the locations had we not been on the tour. The staff in each place were warm, friendly and happy to answer any questions. The map we were given was easy to follow and the snacks went down a treat. We actually re visited several locations the following evening to try their different beers! Would highly recommend, worth every penny.

We had a blast! - For anyone taking a trip to Bristol - I highly recommend this beer tasting tour! The bar tender at the first bar was extremely accommodating and friendly. At the pubs we went to, all of the staff were very friendly too. I am not sure we would have ventured into these places normally so it was great to get more of an "authentic" Bristol experience. Very good value for money!

Loads of fun and don't judge a book by its cover! - We would never have gone to these places without this tour. Lots of them look like the sort of place you would walk past if you didn't have a reason to go in but I'm so glad we did, they were really fun! The beer was great and the bar staff were lovely. Don't judge a book by its cover is definitely the take home here!

informative - In this tricky time Bristol Hopper (and our audio guide Heather) have really made the best of things with this tour. it was very inexpensive and gave us structure on how to view the city quickly; hitting all the main sights in an afternoon. The tips for local breweries was also great. Left Handed Giant ( think thats the name!?) was an especially good spot. Good on you! Cat and Luke

Disappointing/Embarrassing - Tour began at Moor Beers Tap room, bar staff were great, good choice of ctaft beers. The 3 drinks we had were all good. We were given tokens map & snacks great start to the night. We were told that we could exchange our tokens for any beer in the pubs on the tour. Little Martha Brewey excellent. Good choice of craft beers. Staff freindly. On arrival at The Barley Mow we chose our craft beers from the large menu on display above the bar, as the bar lady attempted to pour these beers the barman stopped her and bluntly told us that we could only use the tokens for a limited choice of 3 regular beers on the bar. We were told at Moor Brewery tap room that the tokens could be exchanged for any craft beer. This was not the case here. We were very embarrassed and left the pub. Next pub visited was To the Moon, ok if you want very loud DJ music on your craft beer tour. Choice of 4 beers. The next pub was The Elmers Arms, owner excellent character. Good choice of any of the craft beers with the tokens.
