★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,725 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $90

“We had an absolute ball on this tour. The other patrons were great, and the guide was exceptional. Everyone was very knowledgeable. The beer pours were plentiful and they always made sure we had access to water. My biggest feedback would be about the food. While everything tasted great, I was expecting 4 different items. We got two empadas- one black paw pig, and one wild boar. Fairly similar in taste but the same dish. The second thing we ate was Bifana, and we got served two of those- again, same thing. So that was the 4 items we got. I think it would have been nicer to have four…”

She also can speak a perfect German which is helpful during the tour as most of the menus, posters and traditional signages in pubs are in German. Overall the experience was fantastic, we had nice chats and shared life experiences. It felt as going out for beer with a local friend. Highly recommended. Thank you ! 🙏”
