Enjoyed our tour, guide was entertaining. Loved his choices of bars to checkout! We wanted more information, his tidbits about the prohibition times were very interesting. We hit Lilly’s Victorian Bar, Flûte, and a Rooftop bar with a great view from inside and out on the balcony. Group size was a little large, as our servers had a hard time serving us all expediently before we had to move on, but it all worked out. Would definitely do this again. Thanks Tim!

We are still talking about this tour & will definitely visit these speakeasys again. Teddy was a really good guide, he gave us lots of fun historical facts about the prohibition. A really great evening. There were 5 in our group & we all loved it. Thanks Teddy for a lovely evening.
