Interesting tour of some old London pubs. Many just off the main tourist routes. Very informative talk by Michael our guide.

To say Tom is spectacular is an understatement. He is entertaining, very knowledgeable and a joy to be around. So grateful for him to show us around London. Cheers from Tennessee!

Dewi was a fantastic guide. Very nice and accommodating of my mom's bad knees as we walked from pub to pub. He also showed us a few cool theatre nerd things after learning that I was a technical theatre teacher back home. Couldn't recommend his tour higher. Definitely worth it.
