The Best Tour! - Our family has traveled quite extensively and this is truly one of the BEST tours we've ever taken. Really interesting information, got to see historical sites we'd hadn't been previously aware of, and visited great pubs rich in history. Al was just the best guide - very informative, extremely knowledgeable and very talented, and so funny! He's a gem, you'd be lucky to get to join one of his tours. We thoroughly enjoyed our day!

I had a good time! - I had a great time going into some tucked away pubs. I got to talk to another solo traveler and some fellow North Americans. Luke was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

SO MUCH FUN! - We had the best time with Tom! He was fantastic! We so enjoyed the tour, it was one of our top things to do in London! His beer selections were helpful as we didnt know what to order. He told the greatest stories. I will do this again when we return to London because we had that much fun!

Great guide but overpriced for just guiding and no drinks or food included. - Great guide Carlos! He was 5 star! but pricey overall and a larger group than expected. 13 of us at equivalent of $50 is $650 just for the experience. And then of course tipping Carlos on top. So the tour company is printing money! And with 13 people difficult to interact closely with the guide and in some cases the pub as all were small and one was tiny!! If a drink or two would be included, then I could see it. But we will shop a different tour company next time.

Disappointing vendor Experience - Tour was great. Our guide was outstanding along with the pubs we visited. The tour vendor is horrible. We had a plane delay and tried to move our tour one day. They said it was fully booked but we could rebook it on Viator. They then refused to refund our original booking and Viator was no help. So basically I paid for the same tour twice. Book the tour only if you know you will be n country. Very disappointing experience.
