Having read quite a lot about the Thames and its history, I was very pleased with the tour let by Eating Europe's Leigh Savage. He was very knowledgable and led us on a fascinating tour of historic pubs and waterfront features. His depth of knowledge really enhanced the tour of delicious pub food, tasty ales, and historic stories. I would recommend it to locals and visitors alike!

The historic pub tour was the highlight of our trip to London! We learned a bit of history in a part of town we wouldn’t have otherwise visited, and were able to fit a taste of all the typical British foods in one afternoon. It rained all afternoon, however, if you dress properly it’s not a problem. A fun afternoon was spent with Leigh! Great tour guide!

Leigh was a fantastic tour guide who brought the old docks and old pubs to life! We started at the Mayflower Pub in Rotherhithe, traveled through brunel's tunnel to Wapping were we visited 3 more pubs ending near Saint Katherine's dock. There was a good balance of walking tour + eating/drinking at pubs. Come ready rested and hungry and if you like beer I highly recommend opting for Premium Drink Package.This way you can get a pint instead of 1/2 a pint at each stop!

I can't say enough about this tour and our guide, Leigh Savage. My friend and I were unfortunately delayed by nearly 30 minutes and Leigh was so gracious and kind about. We were also fortunate to have tour guide Lauren join us. They were each so informative and charming, giving us just enough information and just enough time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, in an area of London where we had never been. The beers (and cider!) were all tasty, as were the tasty treats at each stop. I could do without the black pudding bread though!! I'll recommend this tour, these guides, and the tour company to anyone I know traveling to Europe! Well done.
