Chris was an amazing tour guide, so knowledgable and had a great time!
Chris was excellent! We had a blast and still learned so much. Drinks were delicious and getting to chat with the group was lovely.
A good mix of historical information about the City of London and great pubs. Our guide Lyndon was really interesting and we really enjoyed geeing to know the rest of our group.
A fun and very informative tour of the London pubs and their history. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate
Such a fun way to explore hidden London alleys and centuries-old taverns we never would have found on our own. Our guide, Adam, was brilliant—witty, welcoming, and full of fascinating stories at every stop. Highly recommend booking this tour!
Adam was perfect! Telling a lot of interesting stories in a positive way:) Really enjoyed it!
It was a fun experience :) Worth trying!
Adam was the best tour guide we could have had. Very knowledgeable and made the whole experience interesting.
We have never experienced a pub tour before, so went with an open mind. From the start, our guide (Kevin) was welcoming and easy to talk to. In addition to the four very different pubs he took us to, we learnt quite alot about the areas surrounding the pubs and various landmarks along the way. Kevin was a good source of information and obviously enjoys sharing his knowledge. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon with a small group and a great great guide. Would highly recommend.
Will was a great guide. Knew all of the history of the pubs and made some great drinks recommendations. We also meet some lovely fellow travellers from all over the world.
Kevin was absolutely wonderful! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the city and its pubs. His witty sense of humor kept us laughing throughout the experience. It was so much fun learning about the history of the area while discovering some of its local pubs. A perfect mix of history, humor, and great entertainment! We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting!
Kevin was very knowledgeable about both the history and the pubs. The time flew by. Would 100% recommend.
Will our guide was very informative
I have done this twice now and love that the stories and history told was so different each time!! Terrific guides, and it is a real treat to meet people.
A lovely tour around the old city. Our guide Will was full of historical knowledge, entertaining stories and made it fun. It's a small group so it's very easy to hear at stops and space was reserved in each pub. The pub choices were great. Will's knowledge of what each offered was excellent and his recommendations were spot on!
İ visit LONDON first time with my friends. We find this company. From TripAdvisor the tour is perfect. We requment everybody
Our tour very historically informative as well as seeing four very different but very interesting historic pubs with very different regional drinks. It was awesome and our guide, Will was fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting London.
Great afternoon spent being guided by Ricky and Diggity around some wonderful old London pubs! Lovely way to spend an afternoon lots of interesting bits of history along with some pints in some pubs which we would never have found! Our fav was the Cheshire Cheese and loved the Raspberry Beer.
Will was a great guide. Lots of history and the pub choices were great. The recommendations for drinks was spot on.
Our guide Wil was great. He was very informative and exceedingly entertaining. Strongly recommend the tour and especially with Wil.
We had such a great tour. Ricky and his dog Digity did a perfect job. It was the perfect combination of history, great stories and stops at some pubs. We managed to cover four pubs for a pint at each without beeing rushed. If you are in London and you‘re up for great stories presented in an authentic and fun style plus having some pints book this tour! Thanks from Germany, Sascha & David
Amazing! Loved our guide Wil, he brought the group together I. Energy & spirit. Tailored London’s history and everyone left as new friends. He is an absolute GEM!
Fascinating facts and great pubs. Our tour guide Will not only entertained us and took us to brilliant places, you could tell that he really cares about the pubs and the people who own and work in them. We were in a group of lovely, interesting and fun people, especially our American drinking buddies. A great afternoon out with great people!
Really enjoyed this trip, the group size had 11 which was a good size, Chris Cheesman was the guide who was very knowledgable not just about the ale houses but London itself. We visited pubs we would not have located in our own and the history surrounding them was fascinating, even the recommendations on what to drink in each pub was good, definitely will do again in our next visit.
What a great day meeting new friends and learning the History of some of the best Historical pubs in London. Will wa an amazing guide. Kinda wished we booked another day. MUST DO!!
Tim was a very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. He balanced the history of the area with his knowledge of pub/drinking history, and had some great recommendations at the pubs we visited. Would highly recommend for anyone keen to see a bit of ‘local’ London or who wants to learn a bit more about their city culture like we did!
Great esperience. The guide Will was very informative and fun. The pubs were like a step back in time. We really enjoyed meeting all of the people from all over the world on the tour.
Fantastic experience. Will was a fantastic guide. If you want to experience city and people you have to do this tour.
Will was amazing. The history mixed with beer was interesting and fun. The beer suggestions were suburb and we had an amazing time meeting new friends. If you can't tell ibwrote this at the wee end of the tour. Mind your head, the bathrooms have low clearance.
Excellent afternoon of walking around the city of London exploring pubs you probably wouldn’t find yourself. Enough history detail to make it interesting from our excellent guide (Tim) and of course local ales, gin etc to taste
We had an absolutely amazing time on this historical walking pub tour! Our guide, Kevin, was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He brought London’s rich history to life as he led us to four unforgettable pubs, each filled with fascinating stories and unique character. Be prepared to enjoy a few drinks along the way! There’s no food included other than small snacks, so definitely eat beforehand. One of the best parts of the experience was meeting wonderful people from different parts of the country. We shared laughs, raised our glasses, and made new friends as we cheered our way through the City of London and Westminster. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! It was truly one of the highlights of our time in London. Whether you’re a history buff, a pub enthusiast, or simply looking for a fun and memorable way to explore the city, this tour is an absolute must-do! Kevin made the experience extra special, and we would do it again in a heartbeat. If you’re visiting London, don’t miss this tour. You won’t regret it!
Amazing time with Kevin! We had a good balance of history and pubs! Had an amazing time! Definitely recommend whole heartedly!!
Amazing tour! Adam is the best tour guide. Lots of stories and history shared. And get to visit some super cool historic pubs. At each place you get to see a bit of the behind the scenes that you wouldn’t get to see or notice if you were on your own. Highly recommend!
Kevin was great! Very knowledgeable tour guide. Lots of laughs. He knew lots about the architecture and the pubs. Highly recommend!
Ricky and Diggity were amazing hosts! We learned so much from Ricky about London and he had fantastic beer suggestions! Highly recommend.
Fun, informative and entertaining! Great guide and cool experience!
Fun, engaging, interesting, great people. Loved Ricky & Diggety🩷
Great way to spend an afternoon. Group size was just right, Kevin our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining, polite and over all a great guide. We walked away with knowledge, a few drinks and met new friends along the way. Thank you!
Great experience. Educational and fun, with some beers thrown in too. What’s not to like. Kevin was a brilliant tour guide. Thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend.
It was a Great experience and Our Guide Kevin did a Great job connecting history and Old London pubs. Also we get to know really nice people during this tour. Started as a Group of strangers and ended as New Friends by the end of the tour.
Lachlan was as fun as he was informative. Will definitely do again.
Great way to learn the interesting history of the London pubs we visited on the crawl. Lachlan, our tour guide, was knowledable, hourmous, and made the tour one of the best on our recent visit to London. Highly recommended
Amazing guide, Amazing group, Amazing pubs, history, walk...
Great afternoon, Will was a fabulous guide. Made the tour very interesting with history London facts as well as the pubs history. Great pubs on our tour, would highly recommend this to anyone 🍻
Very interesting and fun tour of historic London and its pubs. Will was our delightful guide - lots of history tidbits of history. It was VERY wet but Will, and the drinks, helped to keep our spirits up. Recommend comfy shoes and good rain gear if the weather is bad.
Amazing host and amazing oubs
Great trip. Shadow our guide was very knowledgeable and made it fun, despite the rain.
My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. The four pubs we visited each had a unique history and charm. One of the pubs was a cocktail bar known for its gin, which I didn't expect, but loved! The guide was very knowledgeable, and I ended up buying his book at the end of our tour!
The pub tour with Wil was, by far, our most favorite part of our entire trip! Such a cool experience walking around parts of the city we would have never discovered on our own. Wil was the perfect tour guide, giving us interesting bits of history as we walked from one pub to the next. Great pubs! Great people! Great guide! Highly recommend!
