I was able to take the Belgian/France Tour 24 this year. It was my first time in Europe and ICBT made it a memorable experience. The breweries we toured were fantastic. The tour at each brewery was engaging and very interesting. If I ever have the chance to do another international beer tour, it will be through ICBT.

The 2025 Belgium/France tour was great. It was something that I wanted to do for a long time. It was nice to see and talk to people from breweries whose beers I have been drinking for ages. Everyone on the tour were super friendly. Unfortunately, this is the last Belgium tour but maybe it will like the supposed last tour of many rock groups.

Catalonia 2023 was the first ICBT for my wife and me, and it was one of the best tours we have ever been on - period.
The pace of the tour, the variety of locations, the knowledge of the guides, and access we received were just impossible to get on our own. It didn’t feel like a tour, it felt like being part of a little family exploring Catalonia.
The food, the beer, the scenery, the history - just wow. This tour made us fall in love with Spain, and we hope to join another ICBT tour around the world soon.

Went to Belgium and France with my husband and brother to celebrate their 40th birthdays. What an amazing experience! We went to some places we’d never heard of and would definitely never have considered going as they were “off the beaten path” so to speak, but man was each stop worth it! This is not your average beer tour. Each brewery warmly welcomed us and shared their passion for not only the products they make but the process by which they do it. The love of the beer is evident at every stop and the connection that ICBT has with each brewer/blender/farmer makes the whole experience so much more intimate than you would get anywhere else. Highly recommend and would absolutely go again!

We had an amazing trip to Scotland with Inner Circle Beer Tours, visiting distilleries and breweries. Distillery tours often feel repetitive because of the standardized distilling process, but ICBT selected tours that showcased unique aspects of the craft. The strong relationships that the ICBT guides have with smaller breweries provided us with exclusive experiences that we wouldn't have had otherwise. We also really appreciated cultural stops on the way. We are excited to attend the other trips they offer in the future!

We visited New York in June and decided on a city brew tour around Brooklyn. We arrived at our meeting point half an hour early and our tour guide Dan was already there. As it was only us on the tour - bonus - we started straight away ! What a great young man. He remembered it had been my daughter’s 21st so brought her a gift. Dan was very knowledgeable about the brewing process and the breweries we visited which we would never have found without him -  hidden gems. We thoroughly loved the tour would highly recommend Dan and this company ! Sorry it’s taken me a while to post this but better late than never ! Thankyou Dan and hope you have a great wedding🥂

My wife and I had an awesome tour with Johnathan. He was really attentive and knowledgeable.  I know a few things about craft beer and he gave me a lot of fun and interesting facts! I would do this tour again because you can request other breweries for the tours. Thanks again for a great time!

My friend and I were in New York on holiday and booked the Brooklyn brewery walk tour with Jonathan, having never done one before we weren’t sure what to expect, but it was a brilliant experience, just us and one other young couple were on the tour, so it felt very personal. Jonathan was informative, funny and made us feel very much at ease. I would definitely recommend this tour and when over in the USA again would book another one for sure. Thanks 😊

Jonathan was my tour guide. He was very knowledgable and definitely made the experience fun and informational. You can tell that he knew the brewing process intimately and was able to explain it in layman terms. The beer selection was varied but he made sure that you also got to taste beers in and out of your comfort zone. I highly recommend this tour.

The New York Beer and Brewery Tour

places/ChIJ86jrHMdZwokRPZRH9RDgQ9Q/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNRMklQLXdBRRAB

Great tour experience with Chris!! Opted for the express tour with 3 stops — this was a gift for my partner and he’s a beer drinker while I’m not. Each stop I was able to still enjoy the drinks and Chris offered a lot of insight to the breweries we visited plus local fun facts! We were the only 2 on the tour so it was a nice personal tour within the East and west villages. Thanks to Chris and the NY Beer & Brewery Team! Would highly recommend!

We had a great time on the Signature Brewery Tour with Chris. McSorley’s was a great starting point, followed by Brooklyn Brewery, Farm One Brewery, and Spicy Moon. We had great interactions with the staff at all four locations, giving us anecdotes and information about the locations, the beers, and the history of each. Perfect afternoon to check out the NYC beer scene!

We enjoyed a private tour with Marshall and I believe it was the best brewery tour in the United States!  We have taken many brewery and cocktail tours in the U.S. and Europe and Marshall made the experience the most memorable and enjoyable!  Marshall’s personality and knowledge about the history of beer and New York breweries is amazing!  We were transported from brewery to brewery in a luxury SUV.  Each brewery has  samples, unique atmosphere, and welcoming staff.  Marshall thoughtfully provided tasty snacks to complement the cold brews!  The three hour tour flew by!  On our next visit to NY, we plan to sign up for another Marshall tour!!!

The experience started at McSorley’s Old Ale House and we were greeted with two glasses of beer, the pale and dark ales, then some crackers and cheese with onions, which was delicious! The tour guide was welcoming and nice and he shared historical aspects about each spot and along our drive. It wasn’t too much information and I wanted to listen. Then we went on to Brooklyn brewery, which was another awesome location and lastly the Bronx Brewery and I was very happy with not just the amount of beer, but they gave mac and cheese bites and Fries as our snack. Overall a great tour!! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Great experience!  Our guide Seth was very knowledgeable, funny, and friendly.  My partner home-brews and he and I are craft beer enthusiasts.  We both learned a lot on this tour.  The stops were great, beers were plentiful, and we got snacks that kept us all happy.  Highly recommend!

Big Bus Tours New York

Ric made this tour the best ever. Knew all the landmarks along the way and included many moments he personally experienced. Took us passed many historical and movie landmarks. Ric even kept it informative while we waited for a backup bus. Made sure we were all safe during the tour as we passed under low hanging trees and signal lights. Great driving skills by Sergio to navigate the narrow and sometimes busy streets. Awesome tour for our last night in NYC. Thank you Ric, Sergio and Bus Bus Tours.

First of all I must say I tend to avoid these typical «hey look, I’m a tourist»-kind of things.
But: the hop on, hop off bus tours turned out to be the best choice for us with the kids to explore Manhattan. We bought a 48 hour package. Unfortunately no time for the upper tour (to Central Park), but we did get through the lower tour, the Circle Line sightseeing boat cruise, and what turned out to be the icing on the cake: the night tour on lower Manhattan and over to Brooklyn.

All of these are well worth the five stars. But I want to highlight the Night Tour. The fantastic driver Manny and the enthusiastic and knowledgeful guide Shelley took us through. The weather of course was on our side, with a beautiful sunset. But the route, the slow driving across Manhattan Bridge, the good stories and the insightful guiding, and the views were amazing.

So we parents enjoyed, and the kids as well. My skepticism turned into enthusiasm. And a very well deserved 5 stars!

Highly recommended! Just read carefully through the package options, so you find the best deal for you.

Had the best tour experience ever with Aaron and German!!! My sister and her boyfriend came from Florida to visit NYC for the first time ever and they loved the night tour. Aaron was the nicest and funniest tour guide ever. We learned so much from him and we felt very safe with German driving. They took us everywhere around the city. It was the best time ever !! You will not be disappointed!!!

If you’re thinking about booking a night tour — stop thinking and just do it! Dwayne and Ivan made this experience one for the books. From the moment we stepped on the bus, we were greeted with energy, laughter, and the kind of charisma that only comes from people who genuinely love what they do.

Dwayne is a master storyteller — funny, insightful, and full of local knowledge that brought the city to life in a whole new way. And Ivan? Smoothest driver in town. He navigated the route with ease, making the ride comfortable and safe while keeping the vibes alive with perfectly timed music and lights.

We saw the city sparkle from the best vantage points, learned fun facts that aren’t in the guidebooks, and laughed the entire time. It felt less like a tour and more like hanging out with two friends who know all the best secrets of the city.

This wasn’t just a sightseeing ride — it was an experience. A must-do for visitors and locals alike. Don’t miss your chance to see the city like this. Dwayne and Ivan, thank you for an epic night!

Excellent tour! Ray was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Miguel provided a safe, smooth ride. We did this tour on the evening of our first day, and it was very helpful in identifying what places we want to explore further. Amazing views also… I highly recommend it

Five Boroughs Brewing Co.

places/ChIJUwLnnLBawokRfjf6_xR4QsY/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURQaXRTUjFBRRAB

I visit new breweries whenever I can and decided to pay a visit to Five Boroughs during my stay in New York.

The brewery has a single indoor space with no separation. No food is present except bagged snacks. They have a table with boardgames and a small area for kids to play. It felt like the area is not insulated well as it was pretty chilly inside.

The beers are just OK. Nothing more. They are not bad, but also they do not add anything new to the craft beer scene. The tap list is heavy in IPAs and has several European options as well. You can order a beer flight of 5 to try multiple beers. I was not impressed by any of my choices. If you do not search for craft beers, they should be fine - the beers are really safe and generic.

This is a nice place to hang out with your friends, but if you're looking for anything new in the beer styles - you might want to look elsewhere.

I discovered Five Boroughs Brewing during a walk in the neighborhood of Sunset Park. I veered off my normal path saw some folks hanging out outside of a well lit place and went in to check it out. The weekend vibe in this establishment is very professional and casual at the same time. The taproom was absolutely spotless and filled with patrons enjoying themselves. I was there to late to take a brewery tour, but got the chance to try a few different beers. Overall I found this to be a great place to grab a drink and hangout with good company. They dont have much in terms of bar snacks, but you are encouraged to order or bring your own food. Totally looking forward to returning soon.

Huge fan of these guys, did their gas service a few years back, it was the first time hearing of them .. Down to earth place, great guys,  clean & great place to hang out .. it’s nice to see the expansion, I just picked up a pack of the imperial gridlock far out on Long Island 🔥 Cheers everyone 🍻

Large tap room and a 30-barrel brewing facility located in an old steel factory. 12 house-brewed beers on tap, served as a full or half pour to stay, and in growlers to go. Prices starting at $5. Complete with an elevated stage for live performances and a gift shop. Oh and it's dog friendly!

While it might be slightly off the beaten path (at least for me), this place is legit with great beers, atmosphere and service. Kid friendly with games and large tables. Will be back.

Do NOT use this company! I started planning my fiancé’s birthday back in July for the end of August. I had asked for a party bus for 16 people (they confirmed the number 16 and said it would be fine). The day of, a van shows up that “only fits 14” (it definitely does not fit 14, unless everyone is less than 100 lbs).Luckily, 1 person ended up being sick but we had to tell my fiancé’s parents they couldn’t come. THEN the bus driver brought us to the wrong brewery first, which wasn’t his fault the owner must’ve messed it up (I also had confirmed the order of the breweries via email). Overall, I was embarrassed for my fiancés friends that they paid so much money to be crammed into a little van. I cannot express enough how horrible the experience was.

I took a tour, we visited 4 breweries (barrage, great south bay, port jefferson, blue point) and a pub.  It was a lot of fun.  The driver seemed to always want to keep things moving rather than let people chill at the breweries, but maybe he was trying to compensate for the traffic.  The bus was mostly good, it was certainly fun hanging out drinking in the bus, except the shocks didn't seem to be quite up to snuff, and it was sometimes a rocky ride.
