Tacoma : Whiskey Row Geschichte & Getränke Tour

A trip through Tacoma with Kyle as your guide is truly transcendent! Kyle is a master storyteller and historian and brings the history of the city to life as you stroll it's streets As a lifelong resident of the Tacoma area I had hoped to learn a few fun tidbits about the town but left with a new appreciation for Tacoma and it's founders. The establishments Kyle takes you through on the tour are full of character and history and each stop is unique for both it's story and it's food & drink. The tour is the perfect blend of sight seeing, history, kinship, and wonderful food/drink. We are already looking forward to our next trip with PNW Adventures and Tours, thanks Kyle!

We had a fantastic time with our tour guide, Kyle, learning about the history of Whiskey Row and experiencing some of the establishments along the way. Kyle was incredibly knowledgeable — not just about the history, but he answered every question we threw at him and even regaled us with stories and poetry. The pacing was perfect, with just enough time at each stop to learn about it and actually enjoy it. We did this as a double date, but could easily see it being a great time for groups of any size. We had a blast learning, drinking, and playing games together. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn something new and have a great time.

Amazing tour. Our tour guide Kyle did a great job of explaining the history of Tacoma and the establishments we visited. Highly recommend.

This was a perfect Father's Day Gift that we all enjoyed! We learned about Tacoma's rich history, sipped curated cocktails (and N/A beverages) and saw Grit City with new eyes. Kyle was the perfect guide, bringing just the right energy with his story telling and poetry. We would love to do this tour again with friends and plan to try other tours with PNW Adventures And Tours in the future!

This is a unique and easygoing tour that provides an interesting glance into Tacoma history. It was a chill evening activity that I'd definitely recommend to people with any sort of interest in the area or its origins. The guide, Kyle, is evidently extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Tacoma and this shines through in every moment of the tour. He was very friendly, and he was more than capable of answering any questions the group could throw at him. The guide took us across three main locations, with detours and tales of Tacoma history interspersed throughout. The tour began at the forum where we learned about Tacoma as the terminus for the Transcontinental Railroad in the late 19th century. We took a stroll over to Old City Hall & Fawcett's Faucet before going up the Spanish steps, exploring McMenamins before ending the tour at Odd Otter. No matter how much prior knowledge you have about Tacoma going into the experience, with the tour looking at such a specific bitesize snapshot of history, it remains accessible and interesting regardless. I think there's definitely an enjoyable experience here whether you're visiting the area or if you're a local. Also, even though it's a drinks tour, I don't drink, and I can still say that I feel I had a complete experience. Suffice to say, the inebriating tales of Tacoma history and my trusty dusty soda water were more than enough to quench my thirst.

Kyle helped us see the city we’ve lived in for more than a decade through new eyes. He showed us hidden landmarks, told stories of the founders of the city, and even by recited poetry from that time. By the end of the tour we had a new appreciation for the Tacoma and a real understanding of how it became the city it is today. Kyle is an expert tour guide and this experience is not to be missed!

This was a fun experience - we got to learn interesting facts about the history and development of Tacoma woven through engaging stories as we toured Whiskey Row and got to enjoy delicious beverages. It was a combination of good company, interesting locations, and an entertaining guide. Thank you, Kyle!

This was my second tour with Kyle and I have to say it was another great time. I have traveled extensively and the one thing that is missing is a sense of camaraderie. It may seem a small thing in the scheme of being a tourist: however Kyle has masterfully found a way to keep everyone engaged and happy, a sense of belonging and a spirit of fun. I work with people every day and know so little about them, Kyle has a deep understanding and a sense of sharing experiences. I fully intend to continue booking tours with Kyle he is a winner!!!

Wonderful tour. Kyle is really knowledgeable of the area and its history. His tour brought Tacoma's past to life through in a fun unique manner.

Such a cool tour! Definitely worth the cost for how smooth and well organized the whole experience was, especially with drinks included at each stop. There is so much interesting history and unique stories about buildings I see everyday. It gave me a completely new perspective on the area. I’d highly recommend this tour to both locals and tourists looking for something fun and informative.
