A Must Experience! - This was super fun and informative. Learned some interesting history about the pubs we visited as well as other sites we passed during our tour. Good tidbits about famous figures (royal, rock & roll, etc.) along the way. Got to taste some local ales, bitters and lagers. Luke went above and beyond as our tour guide. He did an incredible job. Highly, highly, recommend!

Yeah, this was awesome. Highly recommend. - The Royal tour was fantastic -- highly, highly recommend. It's well curated -- great, historic pubs, as well as stops outside famous historic storefronts. (The pints were of course great as well, and you could drink as much or little as you like.) Also, I went solo and had a great time. Met some great people. Luke, our guide, was awesome! Incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and personable. Make sure to request him if possible.

So glad I signed up! - So glad I signed up for this tour. I was a little hesitant as I thought it would be too focused on drinking but it was not. I learned so much about royal history, and Henry was energetic, knowledgeable and made everyone feel welcomed. The beer was good, too. Highly recommend!
