“As a solo female traveler, I was definitely hesitant to book this tour with all the male-only group reviews. I am so glad I did because it was so much fun and such a great experience! Our host Anaïs was so friendly and made sure our whole group had a great time and always felt safe. She was the life of the party! The price is a bargain for the 3 shots included and vip treatment at all of the pubs. Highly recommend!”
