I was incredibly disappointed with the event, considering it was far more expensive than a standard day (I know it was NYE) it was awful. The bar that everyone meets in is tiny, no room to mingle with fellow travelers, they had taken on far too many people (apparently it’s never that many people usually the whole group was split into 4 smaller groups with at least 30/40 people in each) moving on to the next couple of bars I can honestly say they were horrific, again…”

He brought us to 3 different bars (plus a bonus market to get a "walking beer" because we told him that drinking on the street where we are from is illegal and he felt we needed to have a new experience. We did not protest). All of the bars had their own personality and their own beer vibe. Sitting down with a local and having a conversation over a beer was a great way to actually learn about not only where you are, but the people. Kenneth was a wealth of knowledge about the area and a pretty awesome guy. This tour, and Kenneth in…”
