Amazing Tour - An amazing time and the guide for out tour was so engaging and fun to listen to. We got to visit these really cool pubs and taste a few pints. I'm not much of a drinker but even I had a few drinks I want to try again. I got to talk to strangers on this tour who by the end, got to really connect with about the experience. The instructions were really clear on how to get there and all pubs were good distances from each other, I would recommend this to anyone!

Wonderful pubs and guide - Mike was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. He was a great speaker and connected with all the people in the group. He was very sociable and easy to converse with. He guided us to 4 pubs, all with different personalities and locations but all walkable. We were able to sit for 1/2 hour in each place and enjoy a pint/drink. I was a solo traveler so this was a way to meet new people and see and learn new things in London. Very interesting history behind each pub. I would highly recommend.
