Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He put our group at ease. Plenty of beer to taste and conversation with new peopl - We were picked up on the street at the address. Not in the parking lot. Information provided was accurate. Some guests waited in the wrong place.

Chicago Fun - We live in Chicago, but use Viator like we’re from out of town. It’s just a great way to see the city. Architecture tours, pizza tour, and now barrel tour. Our guide was fantastic! I don’t even like beer, but one of the places had thc infused beer and that was yummy.
