What was most memorable was that no one turned up to take the tour!! We waited for an hour at the meeting point, what a complete waste of time. We were essentially conned out of our money. DONT DO THIS TOUR!!!

Myself and a group had been waiting for another tour company that ended up being a no show and we luckily ran into Aaron! He kindly let us join his tour in the middle of it and ended up saving our night. We had so much fun and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us a history of prohibition relative to the area and places we visited and even had pictures to go along with the story. We all highly recommend taking his tour! :)
