Highly recommend! Mark was a great tour guide- he is a compelling story teller keeping the energy high and light, showing us great bars alongside interesting facts about the surrounding area. The pubs on the tour are unique and charming with great drink selections. Whether it’s your first or tenth visit to London it’s worth it!

Mark is the greatest of all time (G.O.A.T). He is the Michael Jordan of pub crawls. He knows his way around and shares facts about the area and what drinks to have at the pubs.
Don’t miss the historical pub tour!

Chris Cheeseman is a terrific & knowledgeable tour guide. It was our second time on the tour and he made it personal and interesting. The local history & culture and small group of fellow travelers add to the enjoyment of the day. It’s a good value for the price. We highly recommend it!
