Don’t recommend

Courtnie_R, Mar 2023

There was no memorable part, our tour guide was unenthusiastic and not knowagable. The tour would’ve been better if we had a different tour guide who actually knew what he was talking about and more enthusiastic.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

We did get to taste some...

We did get to taste some beer. However, we did not learn much about beer tasting in the sense of learning how to appreciate differences between different kind of beers.

Good brews

Shannon_L, Dec 2022

Enjoyable trip to three different pubs. All offering a paddle of tastings of their own brews. Our guide Tristen was very informative about the places and offered history on the area.

We had a great time....

Thumbs down

Jay_M, July 2022

Beers were great! Venues were great! Sharing a tasting paddle between 2 people and getting a toasted sandwich at the end was very poor!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hi Jay – Thank you for taking the time to post your review. Its great to know that you enjoyed the beers and found the venues to be great. You mention sharing a paddle between 2 at the end was poor. Sharing paddles are used throughout the experience and a different number of beers are provided at each venue. Each member of the group then gets a toasted sandwich each at the last venue. If you would like to provide us with more details of your experience, we would welcome your comments in view of how we can better manage our customers expectations. If you would like to do so please contact our customer care team at customer care@intepidtravel.com
