Kevin is the best tour guide

Kevin was the best tour guide that we had! He made us laugh, educated us so many news things about London history, and took us to the best bars in London. He is a great tour guide and we made sure to give him our full attention throughout the full tour.

Outstanding London Pub Tour with Liquid History

We had an amazing time on the Liquid History pub walking tour in London, and a huge part of that was our guide, Will. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about London’s history. He brought the stories of the city to life with a perfect mix of historical facts, interesting anecdotes, and humor. The tour struck a great balance between exploring historic pubs and learning about London’s fascinating past. We visited places we never would have found on our own and came away with a much deeper appreciation for the city. Will was friendly, approachable, and made everyone in the group feel welcome. His enthusiasm was contagious, and it was clear he truly enjoys what he does. If you’re looking for a fun and informative way to experience London, I highly recommend Liquid History—and if you can get Will as your guide, even better. This was one of the highlights of our trip!

Amazing social scene!

The tour was amazing! Tim was the best, very knowledgeable, witty, and very friendly! Coming from the states, we don't have the social scene that London Pubs offer! This renewed my want for a social life in the scene and thoughts of moving to London would revolve around this scene!

Operator response

Happy to help with the London house hunting! Cheers!
