Dave Pinno provided us with a fun and informative pub tour. He blended Australian and Sydney history into how it relates to our own backgrounds. Simply brilliant! We highly recommend this tour.

Pinno was an excellent guide. We totally enjoyed our experience with touring the historical pubs and lots of history along the way. We were delightfully surprised with how much fun this tour was.

Just wanted Robin to know that they were great. Very informative and we learned a lot. Unfortunately we had a early flight in from Auckland that morning and had been up since 4am. Half of our group of 7 left early because we were exhausted. Wish I had been able to stay for the rest.

This experience was so much more than our expectations. We were lucky enough to have Pinno as our tour guide who went above and beyond to make us all feel welcome and included. His knowledge is exceptional and extremely well delivered. We were often laughing and in awe of his fantastic "Aussie" lingo. I learnt a lot and met some lovely people, which was a bonus. Thanks, Pinno. We will definitely recommend this great tour to our friends and family.

Our tour guide, Dave P. was super enthusiastic, funny, and quite knowledgeable. He told great stories that kept us entertained as we traversed the Rocks area and explored four old pubs. It was an easy night out and a great way to learn the history of the area.

Amazing tour by Robin. Learned so much fascinating history and enjoyed several great tasting beers. Great fun and a great value. A must do!

If I could l give more stars I would!!! FANTASTIC tour!! We were lucky to be small group of 3. Dave P. was a VERY knowledgable guide. Any question we posed was answered with great detail. The history of The Rocks was brought to life with stories and connected to current day phrases..such as a convict words...crib was a place early residents lived and the slum was a room in the crib. Terms-happy hour, weed....so interesting. Walking through The Rocks and then the visit to some of the oldest pubs. The beer - yum!!!!!! One of our members was not a beer drinker so she drank wine. So much history! Highly recommend this tour!

Laura_s

Very good inputs from the tour guide. Kept our interest on the history of the Rocks for the full tour. Unfortunately it was a Monday night and all places were extremely quiet, but definitely recommend the tour. I would give the pre tour food a miss, basic pub grub, not worth the additional cost

Our guide (Dave) did a great job and was full of information about the pubs we visited. It was the right size group, and we had tons of fun.

We enjoyed the delicious beer and the history lesson along the way! Our two guides gave us an entertaining afternoon and we learned some interesting information about Australia. Thanks
