5.00We had a fantastic time on this tour and visited places in Soho that we would never have found ourselves. Our guide, Ben, was brilliant! Such a warm, friendly and funny young man. His knowledge and stories about the area's history made this one of the best walks we've done in London. Highly recommended!

5.00Overall our experience was excellent. Harvey was our guide and did a fantastic job. He was very hospitable and welcoming as it was some of my families first time in London. We stopped at a total of 4 pubs spending about 20-30 minuets at each location. The tour did not feel rushed and had a calm and relaxed pace to it while remaining interesting and engaging. Between each stop Harvey would entertain us with his vast knowledge of the culture in Soho surrounding music and the historical pubs that line the streets. In total it lasted about 3 hours. Harvey was very knowledgeable and passionate which made the tour a pleasure. I would highly recommend booking this tour if you like music, history and a good pint. And make sure to book with Harvey if you get the chance, he made the tour truly special, even going out of his way to recommend dining locations and attractions that catered to the groups interest. 5/5 stars.
