Adam was fun, informative and experienced with the area. Great tour guide. 👌 Really great night. Loved all 4 x pubs (Hart's, The Australian, Hero Waterloo and Nelson's). Excellent fish and chips at The Australian, purchased separately. 😀

Awesome pub tour with Dave

Awesome pub tour with Dave. We did this tour after doing the bridge climb and it was well worth it. There was tons of historical information, and not to mention a pint at every pub we went to. We did our free dinner at the end of the tour. In hindsight, I would have liked to have done the dinner before the tour because at the end everyone stayed put and continued to drink while we went off to get our free dinner. After a few pints together and 5 pubs later we were all becoming fast friends. Ambience was fantastic. Food was awesome. Beer was great. You have to do this tour with Dave if you have the chance while you are in town.

G'day Andy Thanks for taking the time to review your recent pub tour of The Rocks, and for the 5 stars. It's great to hear you enjoyed all aspects of the evening. With regards to the meal, we do recommend people have the included meal before the tour, for a few reasons, one of which you have mentioned here. Good to hear you enjoyed the meal, and we hope you were able to catch up with your new mates afterwards. Cheers

A memorable pub crawl
Kelly_B

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening “on the rocks” in Sydney, starting with pub dinner at the Australian Hotel pub, where we met our intrepid guide, Colin. Once we finished eating, we strolled to Harts pub for our introduction to the traditions and history of beer drinking as Sydney developed from its hard working origins, learned about “beer crimes” and how the Sydney drinking style developed. Col kept us highly entertained and slipped lots of history into the night. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys ‘the bending of the wrist,” and who has an interest in local history.

This tour was fantastic. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, not just about beer, but also about the history of the area. It was a smaller tour which made it even more fun because we got to know the people in our group and there's nothing like having a few beers with people that are cool.

All of our tours in Sydney were great, but this was the best one. The beers were good, but the commentary and information provided on the Rocks area of Sydney was amazing and very interesting. Really liked walking the area with a guide and hearing all of the interesting stories.

Great experience! You get to spend a night drinking and learning varying things about pub history in Sydney. It's an entertaining and educational tour. You visit five pubs and get a drink in each. I picked up a variety of beers that night and was glad I did. Each pub has some really good craft beers. Dinner is included, and I recommend trying the adventurous menu. Gaz was a wealth of knowledge, and I appreciate learning more about The Rocks and the very interesting history it has. You also get to meet other guests who at the very least has the same interest as you do, which is drinking. I think it's a must do when visiting The Rocks.
