5.00Great mix of history, beer and chat on a fabulous tour with the wonderful Adam. We laughed, we drank, we walked and we laughed some more. A great tour with a great host. Not loads of walking (max of 10mins at a time) but through lovely little areas you’d probably not discover without a guide.

5.00Fantastic tour of the historic building and pubs in London City. Will, our tour guide, showed us some of the most unique privately owned pubs in the area and suggested some of the local beers. But is your not a beer drinker, he also took us to an old Gin bar with over 100 different Gins
A great afternoon

5.00A fantastic experience for a group of friends celebrating a birthday milestone. Awesome route hosted by the inspiring, knowledgeable and at times theatrical Lachlan. 4 really historic pubs, lots of tales and laughs across the way and loads of hidden secrets you’ll have to book to learn. Thank you to Lachlan, it was an excess yo spend a Saturday afternoon 🍻 cheers
