5.00Had a blast on this tour. It ended up just being my wife and I and Harvey was an excellent guide! We only wish we had taken the tour day one when we got to London instead of the last day. Would have definitely gone back to a few of the pubs we visited. 5/5!
Well spent 3 hours

5.00We visited four pubs in London, all with different atmospheres and history all tied to the London music scene. Our tour guide Gherto was knowledgeable in all aspects UK history, culture, and the music scene making the tour a highlight of our vacation. By the end of the tour, Gherto felt more like family than just our tour guide. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you can get Gherto as your guide.
