5.00Mark from Liquid History had great pacing with a rather large group of 16. His history stories were tight and witty and he got us everywhere on time. Also spent time encouraging a great atmosphere among disparate parts of the group. Awesome job

5.00Amazing tour! Paul brought the perfect amount of history and fun. London pub culture and history is truly interesting and adding a few pints in just made it a great experience. Whole group became fast friends and this may have been the highlight of our London trip. My twenty year old sons had a blast. Thanks Paul!

5.00Kevin was a fantastic guy who knew his way around England’s finest pubs. Absolute gem of a guy to sit down and have a beer with and had a great feel of how long to let people drink at each pub and when to move on. On top of that the pubs we were brought through were gorgeous and filled with history of which Kevin was very knowledgeable about. 10/10 would recommend
