Great Tour of Pubs and History - What an amazing time with Kate, our tour guide! I thought we were going pub crawling but we got so much more! Experiencing pubs with interesting histories, great drink and tasty food! Couple that with fantastic history lessons, of interesting sites, made our day so much more memorable. Ending the tour with a game of shuffleboard at Ye Olde Cock Tavern was the best.

A Must-Do for Pub and History Lovers - I joined the “Historic Pubs, British Ales and Classic Dishes” tour with Kate and had an excellent experience. Kate is a very skilled and friendly guide who brought the history of the neighborhood to life. She took us to pubs and places we would never have found on our own, each with its own unique story. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the group dynamic made it even more enjoyable. We learned a lot, tasted some great local food and ales, and had a wonderful time. I would definitely book another tour with Kate in the future. Highly recommended!

Fun, tasty and educational! - Kate really knew her stuff. Loved not only the history but also the anecdotes about the characters involved. Perfect walking speed for the group and she projected her voice well so everyone could hear her.
