Fun way to learn Australian drinking culture! - Really fun way to walk to some bars, try local beer, and learn a lot about Australian drinking history. The tour guide was a lot of fun, even as a Yank he gave a good tour!

Great tour and great time! - Pino was a fabulous guide and orator! The places selected were exceptional and his commentary was informative. Torrential rains made the adventure a challenge but Pino lead us through! He is an amazing representative of Sydney and The Rocks community.

What a great way to learn about the rocks - What a great way to learn about the rocks! Our guide for the night was a character, full of stories and historical information. I never would’ve known about these pubs or how Sydney got started without this tour.

Great pub tour! - Loved all the "Oldest Pub in Town" pubs we went to. Tons of history, and we were with a very good group of people. Our guide was knowledgeable and had some really good tales with each place.

Not your average pub crawl - Although we had already been in Sydney for 3 days, our guide, Nick, took us to places that we had not visited and his knowledge of the history of Sydney and The Rocks was extraordinary. We wound through back alleys to archeological digs, historical buildings, and visited four pubs where we had a beer of our choice at each. Tables were reserved for us, so we did not have to fight the mobs that were there to watch a very important cricket match. Nick was very friendly and approachable, and we enjoyed discussing many topics with him beyond Sydney's history. We highly recommend this tour has it lives up to its name as a historical tour with some beer thrown in
