Ben was a great tour guide - knowledgeable of the history of the area, with a few surprise stops along the way. Plus, he could recommend specialty G&Ts in each pub.

Ben was an amazing tour guide. We got lucky because we were the only ones that booked the tour on that day. We basically had our own private excursion. Ben is very passionate on what he does. We went to 4 pubs. Ben took pictures of us and sent them to us following the tour.

Great pub tour with Ben and our family. He had lots of history and fun facts about each pub and the area. We enjoyed plenty of beer, gin drinks and banter. I’d do another tour with them the next time we are here!

If I could give more than 5⭐️’s to Ben, I would. What a treat. Found some real gems of pubs and loved the stories and wee nuggets in between. His banter and craic was mighty. Thank you Ben and we hope to see you one day on the other side of the Irish Sea. 💚

Had a great afternoon on this tour, wanted to do something different to the usual tourist trips! Really easy to meet up with the tour and the guide Ben was fab! Lots of stories and knowledge which made it really interesting, made the group gel together really well and kept conversation flowing! Highly recommended and would definitely book another tour with them
Ginger_C, Nov 2025
Luke is a fantastic storyteller. The content was interesting and the beer recommendations perfection. There were 10 people on our tour and Luke engaged with everyone, which made it feel that we made several new friends by the end. Highly recommend whether you drink or not; all pubs have several choices to suit all needs. The history and culture lessons were entertaining as well.
KATHLEEN_M, Nov 2025
If you have done the London Tower, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abby and the changing of the guards and just want a couple of fun hours take this Pub Tour. You will hear some interesting stories of the Pubs you tour but the best part is the guide Ben! He will make your day with his humor and his ability to keep everyone engaged even if you don't drink a drop. Thanks Ben for a great afternoon. Kathy and Karl Oct 17

The historic pub tour is a must if you are in town and enjoy knowing about the royals and London stories in general. Luke was our tour guy and he was excellent!! We enjoyed learning about famous stories on each pub that we visited, everything was really well explained, he truly did a great guy. This experience was great and would definitely do it again.

If you want to enjoy pubs while hearing about the history Tom will give you an enthusiastic lesson. He will also offer his suggestions on beer and liquor you may want to try.
