Such a great tour in DC!! Jessica was an incredible guide that was extremely knowledgeable and by the end of the tour we felt like she was one of our friends. I had family in town that said this was the highlight of their trip while visiting us. Such a great experience that I would recommend to anyone who loves beer and history!

The other couple didn't show up so we ended up with a private tour. Jessica was great! Lots of interesting stories and historical info that I had never heard before. Best of all, we visited some GORGEOUS old bars that we never would have thought to visit otherwise. Definitely recommend!

This was a highlight of our trip to DC! Jess was very knowledgeable and fun to go around to each bar with - we went to four bars and got a drink in each while Jess taught us history. We learned a lot of stuff that we didn’t hear on any of our other tours and definitely want to try their crawls in other cities.
