Our guide, Raj, was a very informative and fun. I enjoyed the tastings. We were waiting around the corner from the pick up place. Make sure you meet in FRONT of PF Changs, not next to it. Great tour!

Personable and knowledgeable guide as well as fantastic breweries. Bus was on time, ride was comfortable, and tour was at our pace.

Such a fun tour!

Dominique_D, Oct 2023

This was such a fun tour! Loved all the breweries and beers we tried. Raj was great with his driving and fun facts!

Promises fulfilled

Vivian_H, Sep 2023

The tour guide Phil was very knowledgeable about the beer making process. He was also very easy going and friendly. We all had a great time laughing and drinking together. There were new beer flavors experienced and liked along the way. Just like Phil said "three things promised; learn something new, try something new and different, and have good time." He didn't break a promise.

Bottoms Up

I’m not a beer drinker. Our guide, Raj, found plenty of interesting beers to small. It fun to learn some beer history. This is something I’d do again! Thank you the great time.

Adrian did such a fabulous job on this your. He is very knowledgeable on the making of beer. He was upbeat and a lot fun, made the tour a very enjoyable experience, even for someone who doesn’t like beer! This tour was scheduling for my husband, I get Martha’s Vineyard and he gets beer! It was a great time.

Booked this tour through aviator, walked for 30 minutes to get to departure point only to find out we were NOT booked with City Wide and there was no room for us. Very disappointed!

Not worth the money.

Disappointed

Tracey_S, Aug 2021

Our tour guide adrian was knowledgeable , and did a great job. We were disappointed in the choices of breweries. We thought we were going to five well known breweries, and We went to two breweries and one distillery. We are really not into a Distillery tours, As we don’t really drink liquor we really like beer. The group we went with was a fun group, but if you’re looking for of brew tour in the city of Boston this probably isn’t your best choice, as we didn’t even go to breweries in Boston.

Wasted time

Tara_B, Jul 2021

Tour was canceled without notification. We arrived and had to call multiple times to get someone on the phone to finally tell us. We wasted so much of our time getting there, waiting, etc... would not book this tour through viator.

Our Tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny!

Jennifer_P, Feb 2020

Such a great time! We toured really great breweries and got to sample some amazing beers. Definitely would do this tour again!

A great experience
