This was a great tour - cocktails and history! Rory was excellent as she guided us from speakeasy to speakeasy giving us the history behind prohibition and what makes an "official" speakeasy. Although we were at the max size (12) for the tour, we had no problems getting an area in each of the bars so no waiting for drinks. I will return to a couple of the spots in the future.
