Stephan added so much color and knowledge to the tour. It was a great experience start to finish. We got to see many different neighborhoods and pubs that we never would have found on our own.

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

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!

Thanks so much for your great review. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the tour with Kevin. Did you have a favourite pub? Everyone has a different one, even myself when I do tours sometimes I change my rankings!

My family and I absolutely loved this historic pub tour with Stephen. He showed up promptly at the agreed-upon meeting spot and time, and immediately charmed us with his vast knowledge of the history of London. It was fascinating learning about the various streets and corners of London and the original significance of each of the pubs we visited. Also, the drinks served at each bar were delicious. Seriously, Stephen is a more reliable Wikipedia and you would be hard pressed to find a better guide.
My family and I will be booking future tours with Stephen when we return to London next time as he offers a wide variety of tours throughout London.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Thankyou so much for your wonderful and kind review. It was such a pleasure to meet you all and show you a different side of London. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your tour with me. I will be visiting the pub tomorrow where you posed for photos pulling a pint at the bar and will let him know what a great time you had. I very much look forward to meeting you again in the future. Thanks again and Happy New Year 2023.

Our guide, Stephen, was incredibly knowledgeable and interesting. We learned so much about the history of the old City of London, Holburn, and Farringdon areas in addition to visiting unique, historic pubs. Stephen offers many other tours, and we will definitely take one the next time we visit London.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hello! Thankyou so much. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your tour. So few people ever visit those areas even though they have so many hidden gems. I really appreciate your review, thankyou!

We were met at our hotel by Stephen after introductions we set off on an old pub/ historical tour. This tour turned out to be s pub/WWII/London tour because we were so interested in so many things. Stephen worked with us to answer all our questions and point out sooo many location with background. The tour was fantastic. Wished it could have gone on longer..... would highly recommend his company “the olde England tours” to anyone....we are considering returning to London and will definitely tour with the company again.

The locations visited were terrific and representative of London’s history. Stephen is exceptionally knowledgeable and customized his comments to the interests of those on the tour. An exceptional tour!

Stephen Liddell is so informed and interesting. I would book the other tours he offers when I return to London. Excellent, I saw places that were hidden away gems.
