My husband and I joined this tour and it was one of the absolute highlights of our time in London! This tour perfectly blended fascinating history, ghost stories, hidden gems, and of course, great pubs. Our guide was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and full of fun stories that made the tour feel lively and engaging from start to finish. We loved how each stop had its own unique character and rich backstory. The combination of spooky tales and London history made it so much more than just a pub crawl. The pacing was perfect, we had time to enjoy each pub, hear the stories, take photos, and have a drink if we wanted. The group was small, which made the experience feel personal and relaxed.
