5.00Due to the glowing reviews I wasn't sure this tour would live up to my expectations, but it really did! There are lots of historic pubs in London but having Harvey as a guide meant that we learnt so much in the four pubs we visited, all within a short distance in SoHo, so we explored this area and went down a few streets and alleyways we otherwise wouldn't have done. As well as the interesting information Harvey imparted we also enjoyed the company of the others on the tour and felt we had enjoyed an afternoon out with friends. I'm not sure the tour would suit too many under forties, but I'm sure they would enjoy the beer! If you remember the rock and roll of the sixties and seventies, even into the eighties then this is the tour for you!
Great pub tour and history of Soho

5.00Ben gives you a great 2:30 minutes of the history, the music and the pubs of SoHo. He is an awesome story teller and wonderful host. We had four pubs to visit which were all unique and Ben gave us great advice on best drinks in each one. Our group of 5 had a great time and got to know each other through the conversations over our 1/2 pints in each pub. I highly recommend Ben and this tour.

5.00What a fantastic tour!! Sy made the entire group feel very welcome from the start and help us all get along with one another - felt like 7 mates exploring together. Loads of great facts which I have already retold here and there. Drinks recommendations also hit every time. Thanks again Sy, absolute legend!
