“A little haphazard to be honest...two groups from the same tour company following the same route at the same time...ours only 3, the other only 5... we could have merged and the tour would have been more social.....there seem to be no desire by the guides to make things more enjoyable for the paying customer.”
A 3.5-hour Calgary craft beer tour with flights at three award-winning breweries, expert-style guides, and transportation included.
“We had so much fun!! Shawn individualized the tour to our preferences concerning beer and food. He explained the history and making of beer. We were able to try all types of beer including those made with beets, flowers and coffee. To my surprise I found I liked dark beer! The pizza was delicious. My friends and I will be talking about this for a long time!”
