This is a must-do for any Philly native or tourist who is interested in history and beer. Jonas is a terrific guide, storyteller, and cycling guru. The bikes are comfortable and easy to ride and the topography lends itself nicely to the historic and modern stops along the way. Appropriate for just about all cycling ability levels. Took a group of four and we absolutely loved it. We were also accompanied by Samantha, who added a lot of great context and ensured no water bottles were accidentally left behind. Will probably be bringing more groups back in the future!

We had a great tour of Brewerytown and related areas of Philly. Our guide was knowledgeable and the day had a great pace to it. We really learned a lot about the area...and the beer. We stopped at a few breweries and got to try different local beers, which was great. This tour offers a history lesson you won't find at the liberty bell, and it will expand your understanding of Philly.
