    Great pubs, great history.
    Colleen_H, Apr 2024
    The pub tour was very fun. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable regarding the history of not only the pubs, but the surrounding area. We even got to play shuffleboard on an old school table. The only criticism is we found the meeting location to be difficult to find. I suggest being very explicit that the site is a small garden attached/adjacent to the church.

    Fun to find the hidden pubs!
    Melissa_H, Feb 2024
    Anne was a fantastic tour guide! The information and history she shared with us during this tour was the best part. We went to four pubs, three of them little places we never would’ve found on our own. They were perfect. It was fun to sample English pub food and try some of the local beers. It was the perfect thing to do on our first day in London!
    Response from Host, Apr 2024

    Traditional Food & Ales Excellent Tour
    Janet_I, Jul 2023
    Sue was our amazing tour guide. She took us around sites and into pubs that were hidden and off the grid - nothing you'd get on the more common tours. Sampling of drinks and food were all satisfying and enjoyable. Would highly recommend this tour.
