This was a fun way to explore London and learn about the history. Our group had a fun time and Lyndon (our guide) was wonderful!

Exceptional tour that had a great choice of old traditional English pubs. However the other side of the tour explaining everything that you passed was really off the charts good. Far more than expected. Ricky and Digity were fabulous hosts.

Our guide Lyndon from London was fantastic. Our tour took about 3 hours and was very much worth it. Lyndon knows his London history. Drinks were easy to get in the pubs, and we were given enough time to enjoy them.
