Royal fun with historic royal pub tour - Wanted to do something different than the regular pub crawl so went for this historic pub tour. Luke, our guide for the day was brilliant; beaming with enthusiasm and full of historical facts, he kept us entertained all throughout the 3 odd hours during the crawl. Luke got us interacting within a small group of people and we all had fun. Is really a must do tour to not only enjoy the drinks but meet some new people and have fun.
Thanks Luke.
Cheers 🥂

Informative, fun, relaxing afternoon walk - We only decided to go on the pub walk the night before and are we glad we did. Luke is an excellent guide, LOTS of enthusiasm and facts on the area & the pubs but, wrapped in a very relaxed atmosphere. Luckily we had a cracking group of people walking round with us which made the afternoon fun as well as informative.
I would recommend this walk without hesitation, and although I have no-doubt the other guides are just as good, (ok Luke, nearly as good 🙄) if you happen to walk with Luke you will be as sad as we were when it ended. Thank you for a cracking afternoon.

An enjoyable rainy day pub tour. - Luke was a great tour leader. We learned about history, local culture, and most importantly about local beer. Visited 4 pubs, rubbed shoulders with the locals, and sampled half pints at each location. Luke will be a future star.

Fun way to spend a few hours - Danny was very engaging and helped the group mesh together very quickly! Would recommend to a friend. Great way to see at least part of the city and go into pubs you may not have otherwise.
