Had a great time learning from Hunter and we got along great with our tour mates. We knew ahead of time that we'd be buying our own drinks at each location but we didnt realize how much that would add up. NYC cocktails can be $20 each so just keep that in mind. It would be really great if the cost of the tour was a little more and they included a sample at each place, like half a cocktail. I only had a few sips of each of mine so I spent a lot more than I drank.

Rory is phenomenal! Fun, knowledgeable and an energy that made us want to learn more. Five of us enjoyed a girl’s trip and had a blast! Will definitely look Rory up on our return. This tour was more exciting than anticipated. Felt like we made a new friend! Thanks, Rory!

I totally recommend this tour. The experience was fantastic, the Bars we visited were all classy and high quality but I have to say the last one where the tour ended was the best one and totally worth the tour by itself. Our hosts at the bars were all very friendly, specially in the last one, again. A special mention I have to say goes to our guide, Emily, who was super nice and professional, very helpful whenever we had any questions and making sure we were having a good time. Kudos for her and this tour! 10 out of 10 points!
