Bars and fun with good people - Kevin also known as Kevin 5 star was awesome! Lots of great facts and very knowledgeable. To me the best part was he was not a robot on the tour giving facts. A very personable guy and felt like i knew him before we even started, he connected with every single group on the tour on a personal level. Could not recommend this tour more and if you are able to request Kevin specifically he does private tours. I would bring people next time he was the man

Thank you Will for the amazing pub tour! - I had an incredible time on the London Historical Pub Tour. Our guide, Will, was not only extremely friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable. He made the history of each pub and the stories behind them come to life, blending fascinating facts with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It was clear he was passionate about the history of London and its pubs, and he had an amazing ability to engage the group and keep us entertained throughout. The pubs we visited were full of character, and I loved learning about their historical significance. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore London's rich history while enjoying a great pint. Can't wait to do it again!
