Must Do Tour! - This tour was absolutely fantastic! The history of not just the pubs but the overall area where this tour takes place was so interesting and unexpected. It’s in central area yet off the beaten path and not typical tourist spots. This tour is well worth your money & time, even if you’re not a beer drinker. Our guide Ben was a 10 out of 10! Incredibly nice but also very good at his job! HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!

Great way to Experience London! - The Historical Pub Tour was one of the absolute highlights of our trip! It’s such a unique and memorable way to experience London—stepping off the beaten path and learning fascinating history while enjoying classic pubs. Our guide, Danny Boy, was incredibly engaging and had so many great stories to tell that really brought the city’s past to life. Instead of the usual tourist stops, we got to explore the city through its pubs and the history behind them. The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and authentic, and it gave us a deeper appreciation of London’s character and history. Highly recommend this tour if you want something different, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable!

Intro to London Royal History (was down by about 4 pints) - We had an amazing experience on our tour with Luke! He was friendly, kind, engaging, and quite funny! He effortlessly brought our group together to get to know each other and share in our interests of beer and British royalty culture. We saw pubs we never would found on our own. And he frequently had knowledge and fun stories to share about each that were for more interesting than what you’d think of has “typical” history. I highly recommend this tour for solo, duo, or group travelers (you’ll make friends easily!). There is someone for everyone whether you like beer or not. Give it a try and if you land on Luke’s tour, consider yourself extra lucky! He did a great job!!

Cheers to Henry’s Pub Tour - Lovely afternoon with my husband, and friends, visiting pubs and learning about their history. Henry was our tour guide and couldn’t have been more fun, engaging and delightful! It was a splendid way to spend a couple hours and visit areas we hadn’t visited on previous trips. Whether you fancy beer or not, it was absolutely splendid!
