Off the beaten path pub tour that is fun and educational - A great way to spend the afternoon. Our guide Jack was a wealth of information and really fun. We learned a ton about the history of the pubs, the area and noteworthy happenings and people from the past. Highly recommend this tour if you want to visit some of the beaten path pubs tucked away that only the locals know about.

Carlos’ pub tour world - Absolutely wonderful! Carlos was exceptionally personable and tremendously knowledgeable about so many things…pub culture, local history and was so willing to share himself with us. He made our whole group feel a part of his world and he was happy to have about our world!

Carlos is amazing! This tour is highly recommended. - Our tour guide was Carlos, and he did an amazing job on our tour of several, off the beaten path, pubs. Carlos is extremely knowledgable about the history of the pubs, and of history in general. The tour was small and intimate. We HIGHLY recommend this tour.

Great tour(s) with an engaging guide - This was the third tour I took with the company; Experience Local LTD. All three tour's (Great British Pubs, SOHO Music and Royal Pubs) were excellent! I would recommend any or all three. We really enjoyed the historical tie-ins (don’t worry, they don’t take you back to the days of Sarum) as well as “incidental” historical locations; on the Royal Pub tour you’ll see where John Lennon met Yoko Ono, for example. I’d you’re on the fence about a pub tour because you or your mate isn’t a beer or ale drinker, all pubs have spirits (Gin is plentiful) and wine, so don’t be turned off thinking it’s beer and ales only. All the tour guides were super friendly and engaging. The company is developing another pub tour and we are looking forward to participating in it the next time we’re in London.
