This was a great tour! We visited three local bars and learned a lot of information about the local speakeasy history.

The description of this tour is very misleading!! There are no included drinks with this crawl even though it said "Included drink at each stop" and "sample". What you get is about one ounce of sparkling wine at one stop. Be prepared to spend $90 plus dollars for a couple to each have one drink at each stop as the places you will visit charge $15 to $20 per drink and force you to tip $3 for EACH DRINK! Our tour guide, Tim, was awesome and the history was cool but this was in no way, a pub crawl that is close to affordable. If you just want to know the history of some speakeasies in NYC, and not drink, than this is a great tour. SHAME on Viator for allowing such a misleading description. All 11 of us that were on the tour had been mislead and disappointed.

Our tour guide, Emily, was absolutely fantastic. She made the experience of learning the history and visiting the sites worthwhile. We had a total blast, each location was unique and exciting. I have already recommended this to everyone I know! 10/10 for sure
