“The leader was nice and friendly, and did his best on the night. However, we were the only three people on the pub crawl, which really took away from the whole point of doing a crawl, you go to meet people and experience a social atmosphere.

Instead, we paid $67 each and received one shot at a bar. While entry to venues was included, none of the pubs were busy and it would have been very easy to get in without…”
