5.00Perfect Sunday in London! We did this small group tour with Tim and had a blast - we made four stops at very cool pubs and also a few other stops to learn a bit on the walk. We had a good amount of time at each stop and did t feel rushed; highly recommend!

5.00We had such a wonderful experience with Will. He was incredibly knowledgeable about London’s history and the history of its pubs, which made the tour both fun and fascinating. We were also joined by a great group of people, made new friends along the way, and enjoyed some excellent beer. A fantastic experience from start to finish!
History with a balance of beer.

5.00Linden is highly knowledgable, friendly, and made sure we were having a good time. Any questions I asked, he had the answers too. We also got some really niche interesting nuggets of information on the walk and we went to pubs I never would've found on my own. We also had a great group for our walking tour. It was one of my favorite activities while there. If you're interested in beer and history, this is a fantastic tour!
Great tour!
