Lovely and knowledgeable guide, fun facts not only about pubs but history of the city also, nice venues, we could try different types of beer and cyder at the stops.
Just go ahead and book the pub tour with George. It’s worth your money and time. Absolutely full of knowledge and a wonderful guide.
The pub tour sounded interesting but it was a surprise how fun it was. We especially enjoyed our guide George as he explained all the unique stories of the pubs but also throughout the walk between the pubs much of London city history. His knowledge and stories were fascinating and his passion of history and story telling made you appreciate London history……we were surprised it was one of our best tours!!
George is a very knowledgeable guide and a great storyteller. We spent a couple of enjoyable hours in London and learnt several interesting facts. Would recommend this tour to anyone
An amazing time! George was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to answer every single question, even the crazy ones. Would highly recommend, also great drinking buddy!
This pub tour was the highlight of our trip! We learned so much from our knowledgable and funny guide, Mark. We got to try delicious cask ales at some really special pubs.
An absolutely brilliant tour. Our tour guide George could not have been better. He was knowledgable, interesting, informative and friendly. The pubs we visited were literally hundreds of years old. George told us all the background to the pubs and their respective histories which was fascinating. To sit inside them and hear all about the history of each pub was amazing. We also had a sample of the beer - delicious. George also told us much about the history of the surrounding areas that we walked around. If you had a more general question about the history of London, George was only too happy to answer and he was so knowledgeable. What really came over to me was his enthusiasm and passion for the history of the city of London. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is at all interested in the history of our oldest drinking establishments. Thank you George - the tour made our day.
Excellent tour - lots of history and good ale - thanks to Chris. Added real colour to the culture behind modern London
Me and my partner Tim had a great tour with George who was a really good historian. It felt like we got so much more than just walking and stopping in certain places since he knew so much about little details all around, throughout the entire walk. Really, really good! We also got lots of other tips for places to go and explore and a new favourite pub for good food.
Had a fun afternoon, walking round London picking up facts and drinking in quirky, old pubs! Planning on the ghost tour next. Thanks George! 🙂
