See London in a Whole New Light - Danny was a great guide! I’ve been to London many times and have taken lots of tours, and I still learned so much from him and got to see the city in a new, fun light. Highly recommend for an insightful and social time.

Wonderful pub experience - We were so lucky to have a wonderful guide like Danny Boy. He was very welcoming and shared with us some history and facts as we walked between the pubs - but certainly did not feel overwhelmed with too much information. It was just the right pace and the pubs are amazing with their own histories. Danny was very engaging and made the afternoon tour super special. Thanks so much, I would definitely recommend it.

Put the Royal Historic Pub Tour on your list of tours when visiting London - We had the pleasure of having Luke as our tour guide on the Royal Historic Pub Tour this past week and he was nothing short of amazing! The historical facts with his entertaining manner, some great gin and ale recommendations, accompanied by some great people made for a wonderful experience! Highly recommend the tour and especially, Luke, for anyone visiting London and looking for something different to do.

Private Royal Pub tour with tour guide Tom! - We had a private Royal Pub tour with Tom on a busy Sunday in London. He is an incredible storyteller and was engaging from the moment we started. He did a great job taking us away from the crowds onto small empty streets. Fun facts - both royal history and even a few music details slipped in. It will probably be the highlight of the London leg of our trip! We were even celebrating two birthdays and he surprised them with a Colin the Caterpillar cake. We loved every minute of our tour and highly recommend.

Historic pubs and lots of beer! - The Royal Historic Pubs tour was so fun! I did this with my parents and my boyfriend and everyone enjoyed it. Luke was the best tour guide! He's a great storyteller and kept the entire group entertained with interesting stories about the pubs, the neighborhood, the royals, and other famous people (which was no easy feat because there were about 12 of us in the group!). He made great drink recommendations as well. The pubs were very cool and the weather was perfect that day, so we were able to enjoy our drinks outside of some of the pubs as the Londoners do. Would highly recommend it!
