So with everything closed our company decided to provide a summer event employees could enjoy from…read morehome, one of the activities was the home brew experience by City Brew Tours. Don't know how to brew - NO PROBLEM Don't Have the supplies and equipment to Brew - NO PROBLEM Don't mind waiting 2 weeks for you Beer to ferment - THIS EVENT IS FOR YOU! So as I said our company offered employees a Home Brew experience as one of the options for our summer event this year, you can choose from 2 types of beer to brew, then you wait and about a week before the event a big box off supplies and equipment arrives at your door. The day before the event you get an e-mail with a zoom meeting invite for the actual event, along with some instructions so you are ready when the class starts. Our Instructors were Mike and Kevin, they meeting started on time and while the is some downtime while the water boils and the grains steep Mike and Kevin kept things interesting with helpful hints and tips, Brewing history, the reasons why you are going what you are doing at a certain time, what happens when you do certain things, why those things are good, bad or necessary and what to expect in the next two weeks while you are waiting for your beer to finish. There were some questions from our group and Mike answered them all, he was very knowledgeable about beer and the process of making beer. While I don't think I will become a master brewer and take up brewing as a full time hobby I did very much enjoy the experience and found it very informative and educational . If you like beer, or even if you are not a huge fan (yes we had one in our group and he enjoyed the class as well) I would highly recommend trying this type of event at least once, just so you know a little more about beer. Based on my experience with this home brew event I would be very willing to attend one of City Brew Tours in person events when things open back up again. (And when I'm in a city they serve) Highly recommended just for the fun of it or if you want to try brewing but are afraid to go it alone the first time. 5 Stars for the event 10 stars for Mike and Kevin

Toward the end it got hard to pedal cause a few of the group members were super drunk and looked like they weren't going to make it back, haha. However, we got the pedal saloon back. Tips: you can decorate the pedal saloon, which is fun. You should have every member of your party bring their confirmation emails because they do check that.

Our guide was helpful and hilarious! Trolley Pub has a set route and have already arranged with discounts at various bars. We enjoyed all of the places. Our favorite was Don Tito. They had amazing specials including yummy food and shots! The seats are high and we inter-changed seats with each other. I'm not really sure if our peddling really moved the trolley but we had fun pretending it did help! I'd definitely recommend this fun event. People on the streets get a kick out from seeing a bunch of women riding out in the open streets.

Bus is comfortable, heater and ac worked with our various needs. Plenty of snacks and water available (I didn't read the flyer well enough to understand that I could bring my own alcohol and snacks-but it must've been clear, to the others who did! ) They let us tune our (chosen DJ) music from a cell through their Bluetooth. And even had the owner OVERaccomodate, by meeting us with pizza at the second stop when none of the places offered a food truck option! We left on time and got back safely in time and despite the rain we had a blast. I was introduced to two (of three) wineries I'd never been to before and am glad of the exposure Note: the fee covered the safe transport, water, and snacks I will def roll with this company again, and recommend you do as well

Big fan of this tour. We chose the winery tour option. Some key reasons why we liked it:…read more 1. I like the option provided to be picked up at one of six hotels in the DC area. Removed a lot of the fuss. 2. The wineries chosen were really nice. We went to La Grange, Blue Valley, and Aspen Dale. Aspen Dale was the most thorough and interesting, although the view at Blue Valley was photo central. No shade to La Grange though, they were nice too. 3. Doni, the owner/driver, is really nice and engaging. She called the day before to confirm, and was just really cool overall. It's a new company, so I'd expect them to maybe add winery spots or more options, but for the money, it's fun and a good value. (Also, it sure as hell beats driving out there ourselves. Just sayin'.)

Everything about our tour was a great experience! You absolutely cannot beat the door to door service. I will definitely look to book with them again for future events or just for fun to see the other wineries/counties they partner with!

He opened and closed our doors. He escorted us into each winery. He communicated with the winery staff to make certain we were situated. He took pictures of the day, which he shared with us later. He provided a lovely charcuterie snack for us. He was a wealth of knowledge about wines and wine making and the history of the area and the beautiful vistas. As you can see, I could go on and on!! I have already recommended Carlos and Hipstoricdc to others!! Thank you Carlos for such an amazing experience!

Annapolis, MD - we toured the Navy Academy as a side trip to DC, as I knew it was an activity that…read morewould interest my dad. You can either check out the visitor center and free museum (a few blocks away) and walk around on your own (after going through security - this is an active naval base so ID is required to enter), or opt for a public guided tour, if you wish learn more about the history, traditions, and campus life of this institution. The 90-minute historical walking tour is the most popular, but I booked a GEM riding tour for my family (in a 5-passenger electric vehicle), since we were traveling with elders and a young child, so wouldn't be able to cover much ground across the sprawling Yard otherwise. The 75-minute tour takes you all around the Yard in comfort and highlights the "gems" of the naval academy. The campus is beautiful and pristinely maintained, and we were expertly entertained and informed by our wonderful tour guide Anne, whose whole family is Navy, and shared additional insights into the life of a midshipman and beyond. Parking: the limited parking near the visitors center is only available to those who hold a military ID. Otherwise you can either park at a garage or try metered street parking which is limited to 2 hours.

I walked around the campus of the U.S. Naval Academy two weeks ago, when my husband and his family…read morevisiting us from out of town explored Annapolis for a few hours. I wish we'd had time for a guided tour (the other reviewers have really sold me on that experience, and I look forward to doing it in the future), but we had a great time exploring on our own. We arrived in the late afternoon. When you arrive, you need to enter through the Armel-Leftwich Visitor Center (even if you're going to the chapel or the museum, navigate your walking directions here to avoid wasting time - Google Maps doesn't know you need to enter at this particular gate), where you'll show ID and put your things through a metal detector, but that was very quick. The highlights of our walk around campus included the walk down Porter Road (the houses on this street looked like I was on the set of Top Gun), the U.S. Naval Academy Museum, and the Naval Academy Chapel. Both the museum and the chapel were easy to find, because the campus has very good signage. The museum is located in Preble Hall and is two floors of naval and U.S. Navy history and a collection of model warships. It's definitely worth a visit (it has its own Yelp page, so you can read reviews specific to the museum there). The chapel really blew me away. It was built in 1904-1908 but underwent extension remodeling in 1940. It's large (it seats 2,500), with a copper dome (the cupola is 193 feet above the main altar area). It's very beautiful, and you should definitely stop in for a look if you're exploring campus. The campus is beautiful and a unique space in Annapolis. I'd been to Annapolis dozens of times (mostly for work before) visiting the Naval Academy! I wish I'd explored it sooner.
