Just go ahead and book the pub tour with George. It’s worth your money and time. Absolutely full of knowledge and a wonderful guide.

The pub tour sounded interesting but it was a surprise how fun it was. We especially enjoyed our guide George as he explained all the unique stories of the pubs but also throughout the walk between the pubs much of London city history. His knowledge and stories were fascinating and his passion of history and story telling made you appreciate London history……we were surprised it was one of our best tours!!

George is a very knowledgeable guide and a great storyteller. We spent a couple of enjoyable hours in London and learnt several interesting facts. Would recommend this tour to anyone

This pub tour was the highlight of our trip! We learned so much from our knowledgable and funny guide, Mark. We got to try delicious cask ales at some really special pubs.

An absolutely brilliant tour. Our tour guide George could not have been better. He was knowledgable, interesting, informative and friendly. The pubs we visited were literally hundreds of years old. George told us all the background to the pubs and their respective histories which was fascinating. To sit inside them and hear all about the history of each pub was amazing. We also had a sample of the beer - delicious. George also told us much about the history of the surrounding areas that we walked around. If you had a more general question about the history of London, George was only too happy to answer and he was so knowledgeable. What really came over to me was his enthusiasm and passion for the history of the city of London. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is at all interested in the history of our oldest drinking establishments. Thank you George - the tour made our day.

Excellent tour - lots of history and good ale - thanks to Chris. Added real colour to the culture behind modern London

Me and my partner Tim had a great tour with George who was a really good historian. It felt like we got so much more than just walking and stopping in certain places since he knew so much about little details all around, throughout the entire walk. Really, really good! We also got lots of other tips for places to go and explore and a new favourite pub for good food.

Had a fun afternoon, walking round London picking up facts and drinking in quirky, old pubs! Planning on the ghost tour next. Thanks George! 🙂

We spent a wonderful couple of hours with George, our guide. But George is much more than a guide. We’re traveling with our 19 yr old grandson and we’re looking for a fun and informative tour. George was full of information, history, interesting facts, and all the things that make a good guide special. I have been with many many guides in several countries and George is exactly the kind that you want at every stop. As in all history classes (and London is an open history class) it can either be the most interesting are the most boring class. George made it the most fun the most interesting and the most memorable. Thank you George!
