Hidden pub gems + History = WIN! - My husband and I included this tour on our trip to London without the kids. Will was outstanding. He gave a touch of history in between visits to pubs. Just enough to spike your interest but not have your eyes glaze over. The pubs were amazing gems we never would have found on our own. Highly recommend from two brew-loving NY’ers!!

Stand out fantastic - I have lived in London for 40 years and thought I knew the area and its pubs. I was wrong. Will, our tour guide, was amazing. He told us so many historical facts that I didn’t know and took us to some absolute gems of pubs, hidden away in the depths of history. Do this tour. You will love it.

Back streets and off the beat locations that we would never have found on our own! - OMG - my husband and I had an amazing time on the pub tour. I was less than enthusiastic when my husband suggested this as part of our week in London. But I am so glad that I agreed. Will was a wonderful tour guide. He took us to pubs and places that we would have never otherwise have found. He was a wealth of knowledge and expertise. We have an exceptional time.
