I really enjoyed

I joined the Beer Tasting Pub Tour on 9 June, 2019 to learn more about pub visiting tradition in England and, of course, to taste different kinds of English beer. And I'm glad I did! Our handsome guide, Michael, showed us several really interesting pubs, his tale was wonderful and cheerful, and there were quite a range of beer types. It was very interesting to taste them and compare. Most of all I liked Porter! What I especially loved was the fact that there were people in the group from different countries, it was amazing to communicate with each other. I would highly recommend this tour to any person who is interested not only in museums, but wants to learn more about people and culture of this great country.
