Stephen took us on this amazing tour of some of the hidden historic pubs in london.We loved the day very much Stephen is very friendly chatty and has so much knowledge. We will go on one of his tours again and would thoroughly recommend his tours to everyone. we saw places we didn't know existed despite living only an hours drive from London . He also gave us a longer day than we expected and didn't feel rushed at all 10/10

Such a wonderful tour. Stephen was an amazing guide full of knowledge and enthusiasm. We not only went to pubs with an abundance of history but also saw numerous monuments and special sights. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to go on a pub tour, it is definitely worth it

Fantastic tour. Stephen is an amazing guide. It’s not just a Pub tour but a tour that provides interesting historical information. Stephen is an entertaining guy and we enjoyed every moment of our tour. A great way to spend a day.

The Historic Pub Tour is highly recommended. Such a great way to get away from the usual touristy stuff. Stephen is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, engaging, generous and personable. This private tour (that’s right, a private tour so no large groups, or a guide yelling their boring script or wearing dodgy audio sets!) took us off the tourist tracks and showed us an interesting and intriguing history of London, stopping at numerous authentic historical pubs and enjoying a drink at each one (the drinks were included in the price). Conversation easily flowed with Stephen. We enjoyed his stories and the way he shared his knowledge. He is a passionate guide who wants to give you a great experience. This tour was exactly what we were looking for and we can’t recommend it enough.

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Kevin. He met us at our hotel to bring us on the tube to our destination. Area. He shared his knowledge of history and interesting points of comment along the way which was very insightful and added a tremendous amount to this tour. It was just the right balance of enjoying a pint, learning unknown facts about the pubs we visited and walking. We would highly recommend this tour and Kevin!
