Victoria's lovely pub crawl

It was a very enjoyable tour, with a nice pub ladder and boat ride! My guide Lindsay was very friendly and we, who are not good at English, enjoyed it. I want to study more English and come back to see Lindsay again.

A highly enjoyable few hours

This was a lovely way to spend a few hours with travellers. We all got on really well and had a lovely time. Possibly more healthy snacks would be good?!

Disappointing

We did not have a very good experience. For the price of the ticket we could have done our own pubcrawl. We booked this for my best friends 40th birthday and we only went on the boat once. The appies you got with the drink purchase was not very good, pretty much chips and salsa or pita and humas. It was a very disappointing time, we actually did not stay our last stop either. We won’t be booking again.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry the tour wasn’t what you were hoping for, especially while celebrating your friend’s 40th birthday. We did want to clarify a couple of details for future guests reading this review. Our Pickle Pub Crawl includes four local pub stops and two harbour ferry rides. On this tour, the other eight guests continued with the full experience and completed both ferry rides. Unfortunately, as you chose to leave the tour early, you only experienced the first ferry ride. The tour also includes complimentary pub-style appetizers with drink purchases. We start with calamari, followed by casual pub snacks at the other venues, which can include items such as hummus and pita or chips and salsa. As this is a pub crawl rather than a food tour, the food is intended to complement the drinks, pubs, ferry rides and social experience rather than provide a full meal. We completely understand that this style of tour won’t be for everyone, and we’re sorry it wasn’t the right fit for you. We do, however, want to make clear that the full itinerary, including both advertised harbour ferry rides, was provided to the guests who completed the tour.

We got pickled with Bronwyn

We had a blast on this trip. Bronwyn did a great job including everyone and getting us talking. Got to try some new things like the shaft and the calamari at the first place we went to was the best I’ve ever had!

Must Do in Victoria

We didn’t know what to expect when we visited Victoria off of our cruise ship but this pub crawl was amazing! Garret was our guide and he brought us to 4 pubs. Both the drinks and the apps were out of this world. We made friends along the way and couldn’t have asked for a better time

Great way to spend a day with friend!

We booked this tour with another couple and it was a lot of fun! Our tour guide Bronwyn was such a vibe! She made the whole day that much more fun and we loved getting to tour around with her. The pickle pub crawl was a fun way to get out and about, spend the day meeting new people and having drinks. I'd recommend!
