Best tours in London easily. - Sy crushes another one. We have done a few tours in London and Sy positively gives the best tours. This is the 3rd we have done with him and each time he brings knowledge with a relaxed atmosphere and great recommendations. The tour is thorough, entertaining, and always like hanging with a friend. Sy talks with people and not at them, gets others involved and encourages questions and conversation. He never rushes and plans pee breaks (pub tour) so everyone is always comfortable and having fun. Would def do this one again.

Educational and Fun - I can’t rave about this enough! Luke was absolutely phenomenal as a guide and it was not only informative but tremendously fun as well. I did this with my fiancé and his 19 and 21 year old kids and everyone has a blast. It’s a great way to see pub culture up close and get a taste for how the locals enjoy themselves

Time well spent! - My college-age son and I had a great time on this tour. Danny was so personable and friendly and shared a lot of interesting historical information. We had a beer at each pub, shared stories and learned a lot. The tour helped us understand and experience pub culture—time well spent!
