Great way to see “The Rocks” historic area and enjoy craft beer
Thomas
, Feb 2020
This walking tour is a great way to visit historic “The Rocks” Sydney neighborhood and enjoy craft beer at 4 pubs. Our guide Adam had a wealth of history about the Rocks as well as knowledge of the beer at each stop. If you don’t like beer, you can have a glass of wine instead

This was a fun and informative tour with drinks!! Our guide Gaz was the best! He was funny, friendly and very knowledgable. There were just 5 of us on the tour so it was a nice small group. We learned a lot about the area and got to try some great local brews. I definitely would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a cold beer!

Great fun. Rob was very expressive and full of little known history of old Sydney.
Some snacks at each pub would have been nice.
Response from Host , Feb 2020
Thanks heaps for sharing your thoughts on your recent pub tour of The Rocks with Rob. He's a great guide, and we're lucky to have as part of the team. With regards to the inclusion of snacks, we have considered this, however we feel this would result in an added cost to you, the customer, and we have tried very hard to keep the cost of the tour as low and appealing as possible. We do agree that food should be included, which is why we have added a meal deal as an optional add on, to be enjoyed either before or after the tour. Cheers

we had Gregg (of Dave's Tours) - he was excellent. a lot of fun, great interaction; a lot of info besides the tastings. my only criticism (but i still rate this a 5) was that there should be some snacks or light bites. 2 - 3 hours of just drinks, starting at 6:30, is a bit rough.
Response from Host , Nov 2019
G’day Kalman. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on your recent pub tour with Gregg. With regards to the inclusion of food, we understand that 2-3 hours can seem like a long time, and this is why we do have a meal option which can be purchased as an additional extra on the tour. This enables you to have a meal, either before or after the tour. It’s great to hear you enjoyed Gregg’s commentary on the night. Cheers 🍻

Excellent Walking Tour!!

This is a wonderful mix of history about the Rocks and early Sydney settlement/life as well as a great pub tour with some excellent choices of Australian beer. Our guide, Rob, was fantastic! He knew a ton about the history of the Rocks as well as the pubs we visited and general Australian history as well. We really enjoyed our time with him. Only thing to note is that this is a 3 hour tour! Not 2.5 as Viator claims.
Response from Host , Nov 2019
Thanks heaps for taking the time to review tour recent pub tour with Rob. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience. Glad you appreciated the historical content, along with the quality local Aussie beers. We do apologise for the tour running over schedule. This can happen from time to time, especially on weekends and if the pubs are busy. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to Rob. Cheers

This was really good fun. We had a walk around the Rocks with a stop in 4 pubs with drinks provided in each one. The guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. A great introduction to the area and we revisited some of the pubs again during our stay in Sydney. Recommended!
Response from Host , Nov 2019
Thanks for the 5 star review. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your walk around The Rocks. It's a fascinating part of Sydney, rich in history, dating back to the first arrival of Europeans in Australia. It's no real surprise to us to hear that you went back to the pubs. They themselves are a living reminder of our past, you might call them 'interactive museums'. Cheers
