Best tour in London - This was one of my favorite activities we did while in London!! Got to drink great beer, learn some interesting history, and hang out with awesome people. Luke was a fantastic tour guide! So knowledgeable and funny, and gave us great recommendations on not just local beers to try, but for things to do for the rest of our trip. I'd highly recommend to everyone visiting London to do this tour with Luke!

Fascinating history - Such a brilliant tour with Tom exploring London’s historic pubs. I’ve lived in London for 11 years and honestly didn’t expect to learn that much, but I was genuinely impressed by the depth of his knowledge and the stories behind places I’ve walked past so many times. He makes the history feel alive and really interesting, not dry at all. Highly recommended if you want to see a different side of London!
