Cannot recommend more highly - Absolutely a highlight of our trip. Pete made us feel like we were old friends that he was showing around town. We saw corners of (and heard stories of) London we could not have possibly found on our own…Pete went well above and beyond…and while we may not cross paths again…we’ll always remember him…do yourself a favor, take his tour…

Great Fun Touring Four Historic Pubs - Loved this tour with Sophie -- a great mix of history and food and drink. We had a perfect sized group -- small enough to chat together. Very fun to hear all the stories of the pubs and get some background on the drinks and snacks served. Sophie had lots of knowledge and a lovely way of bringing everyone together. Definitely recommend, especially at the beginning of your stay in London, as the tour gives you an idea of places to re-visit.

A Great Tour - Peter was a great host with lots of info for first timers and regular visitors. The drinks and food were perfect for a grazing 'pub crawl' Will come again as was a great way to meet people

One tasty tour! - This was one of my favorite things we did in London. It truly felt like we were stepping back in time in each of the pubs we visited, Susannah was a fantastic guide ensuring we were learning things as we went along. The food and drinks served were also outstanding. We will do this same exact tour again next time we’re here.

Living a little history - This was probably my favourite thing when we were in London. Sitting in old pubs, hearing the history and who had frequented the pubs in the past was wonderful. We went the first full day we were there and sampled some great drinks and food that gave us an idea of what to order through our stay. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and a lot of fun. At the last stop we played some shuffleboard. Highly recommend. The small group size was perfect

Great beers, great food, great guide - I loved the historical bits of London that we got to see on this tour, and I'm still thinking about the giant scotch egg! It was cool to step off so many busy streets into calm hidden corners (and hidden pubs!) that I've never seen before, and our guide Judd was awesome. You can really tell he loves the history of the city and wants to share it with you too!
