5.00Freddie was a great guide. He used the perfect mix of history and humor which made for an excellent tour! Our young adult kids loved it too.
I recommend this to anyone coming to London!

5.00This is one of the most thoughtful, curated food / drink tours I have experienced. You see historical pubs, restored pubs, very very local pubs, and modern aesthetic pubs. There is an appropriate amount of time in each place, the tour is balanced between learning and free time for drinking, and it gives you a great situational knowledge of both the area and pubs to return to. Highly recommend!
Great tour with Will
