Informative and entertaining - Al does a great job sharing the history of the area, all tied together through the lens of some great local pubs.

The Royal Pub tour with Al was amazing. I learned a lot, enjoyed good beer and had a great time. Al is very knowledgeable about London, its history and scandal that has rocked the royal family. Definitely recommend.

Easy walking tour away from the heavy crowds. Fun chance to learn about the history of some great pubs and the surrounding area. Also get to stop for a few drinks along the way. Our tour guide, Al, made it informative, relaxing and great fun.

Al was absolutely amazing. One of the best Viator tours I’ve done. By the end of the tour it felt like Al had been part of our friend group for years!

We learned alot of interesting information from him.
The pubs were really cool

Ben Cooper our tour guide was phenomenal!!! Made the stories come alive. We went for the beer but got so many unexpected side tours and stories between pubs. By far our best experience on holiday! Thanks Ben (and if your mom is reading, thank you for raising such a wonderful human).
Elizabeth_E, May 2026
Come prepared for the weather as English weather is unpredictable and quite a lot of the tour is outside
Marie_G, May 2026
When I showed up for this tour, I was the only one. My guide Luke was extremely gracious about it; when I offered to let him off the hook and cancel the afternoon he insisted that he give me the tour. So I received a private tour. Lucky me!
Luke was extremely professional, knowledgeable, entertaining, and
fun! I wasn’t expecting a lot of history but Luke wove it into our surroundings with interesting and fun facts. I learned a lot and had fun doing it.
Plus learning these things in series of pubs made it even better. I can’t recommend this tour with Luke enough!
Mary_S, May 2026
Al is a great guide combining interesting information, off the beaten track locations, humor, and of course interesting stories and inside stories. We thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour to pubs and historical spots we would never have found on our own. There were only 11 people making the tour very personal. We'll book with Al when we visit London again. This was the best tour of our visit.
Olivia_C, Apr 2026
Luke was such a fun guide! He was great at telling stories and made sure to chat with each person individually. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a lowkey way to socialize with locals and fellow travelers!!

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.
Carol_M, Jan 2026
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!
Siobhan_H, Jan 2026
Luck was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The little streets we went down and the darling pubs we went to were fantastic!
