My brother and I had the best time with Freddy. He really knew his stuff and how to make the most of every stop..super personable, made an effort to speak with all parts of the group and even gave extra info on the area and suggestions post tour. He is incredible and if you are going to do the tour do it with someone who wrote their thesis on pubs in London! Big kudos to Freddy!!! 4 incredible pubs :-)

Learned a lot about gin palaces and cockfighting. That was surprising. Kevin was a lovely guide and the tour was an intimate 12 people.
