    The brewery adventure
    Peter_S, May 2024
    Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and I give her a real solid five stars The extra benefit of the tour included a visit to the brewery and all the employees there were very friendly and I spent my time actually eating dinner there after the tour. The location of the tour beginning was extremely convenient and the parking was free so there were no logistical issues that interfered with the conduct of the tour
    Fun and interesting
