“This was a fun tour that made it easy to see a couple speakeasies without any of the work to research or find them yourself. Ariel was a great guide who shared some knowledge and was very personable. It was also pretty fun checking places out in a group and meeting new people. Lots of interesting/fun drinks at the various bars. They rotate venues depending on availability for the evening, and some are a little less "speak-easy-ish" than you might expect, but it was still a lot of fun regardless.”

“Being a “cocktail cruise” we thought we would get at least one cocktail included but you had to buy any drink or food you wanted on board. Additionally the trip started at 6pm and finished at 7.30pm so not the 2 hours we were promised and expecting. Having said the above, it was an enjoyable experience with nice music, dancing and we met and chatted to some really nice people.”
