Albert – Canada

The guide is very knowledgeable, friendly and humorous. It was a very pleasant and meaningful tour. I’ve been living at Toronto for almost 10 years and I still learned a lot from the tour. All the beer are included in the fee as well so you don’t need to worry about it. The tasting experience was amazing and the vibe was great. We also visited the St. Lawerence market.
