Excellent cocktail tour - I had a great time learning about great bars in Fremont! I also enjoyed hearing about different cocktails and the history of Prohibition. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable regarding bars in the Seattle area/good cocktails to order.

Lee is the bee's knees (the good version of the saying) - The walking tour with Lee was such a great way to experience a bit of Seattle I wouldn't normally see. I was in town for a conference and tagged along with my colleague and her son and I'm so glad I did. Not only were the drinks great, but Lee was engaging and knowledgeable without being snobby. He rolled with the punches (we're a rowdy trio) and made the experience really fun. Ypu can tell he likes being a guide and has respect for the craft. Highly recommend if you're in the Seattle area!

Props, potions and prancing - Where do I start - this experience was nothing like I expected. My apprehension was that it may be rather stiff but it was nothing of the sort.
We met Lee at the meet point and instantly felt at ease. It genuinely felt like meeting up with a friend whom I hadn't met yet. He was full of excitement and the joys of life. I couldn't help but feel the same as we went on.
Lee is extremely intelligent and has such much knowledge arguably on any topic. The conversation was fun relaxed and informative. We were on the tour off peak so it was quiet, but that made my experience even better.
I can't recommend this excursion as a treat or a gift enough. It's so in depth and interesting yet so casual. It offers the true experience of the niche local areas and locally distilled spirits.
Thank you Lee!

Casual, cool and local insight - As a honeymoon gift, my work colleagues booked us into the tour with Lee. We didn't think we had expectations, until they were well surpassed within the first 15 minutes!
We were booked in for mid week, and the experience was really personalised due to this. As pretty reserved and shy people, we wondered would a quieter booking be "awkward". I cannot stress how much it wasn't. Lee is such a warm and interesting person who has so much knowledge to empart. He does it in such a fun way even including props. From botany to esters, to local history and art, he covered it all. It felt very much like a local friend was showing us about.
The drinks and locations explored are really cool too. Thanks to Lee for a fantastic evening of exploration and tastings.
