First trip to Boston

Jessica_P, Apr 2024

Julie was a very informative and personable tour guide. She made the tour a great experience adding in the history of Boston. The tour guide made the meeting spot easy to find if you are new to Boston. The drinks that Julie suggested were great choices. I would recommend to any beer lovers! Ciders were also an option too, if you don’t love beer.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Great! Thanks very much for recommending us. We're thrilled to hear that you had a fun, informative time on your crawl with Julie. Please come share some more history and beer with us again soon. Cheers!

Good fun. I would recommend.

Nicholas_P, Apr 2024

Good way to meet up with like-minded fellow travellers. Pubs (and beer) were good, the history was interesting - we didn’t travel very far, but that didn’t matter..

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Fantastic! Thanks so much for recommending us. Introducing strangers who become friends on our crawl is the best part of our job. Please come crawl with us again soon. Cheers!

So fun!

Christine_B, Apr 2024

It was a lot of fun. Our tour guide was excellent! I can’t remember her name. We took the April 13th 3:00 tour. She was a history teacher in Lawrence. She was fabulous!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Excellent! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. We're thrilled to hear that you had a fun time on your tour. Please come crawl with us again soon. Cheers!

Great bar crawl

Gisselle_A, Mar 2024

Julia was very knowledgeable and fun! We had a great time despite the rainy weather. It was a great way to start our anniversary weekend in Boston.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Fantastic! We're thrilled that you had a fun, informative time with Julia and our combo of history and beer. And we hope that you had a wonderful anniversary weekend in Boston. Please come crawl with us again soon. Cheers!

It was fun to do...

Jacquie_R, Mar 2024

It was fun to do something different in the city. The guide was very nice, if the bars weren’t all right next to each more walking. Also, even though we enjoyed the experience thoroughly, it was a little expensive for what it was. I think the price should’ve been 60 that includes alcohol.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we're so happy that you enjoyed the tour. Our bars are close together so that it is more bar than crawl. This way guests of all physical capabilities can enjoy the tour. Please come crawl with us again soon. Cheers!

History with a beer in hand 💯

Liz_R, Nov 2023

What a great time learning some history and having a drink! Thanks Paxton for hosting us during this rainy evening and even when others didn’t show up. We appreciated the hospitality and had a great experience! If you want to get some history in a fun way, I would highly recommend this pup crawl tour! Hopefully you’ll get matched with Paxton!
