Kate is the perfect guide for this tour. Informative and funny, she was able to bring all of the guests together very quickly, for a fun afternoon. This tour is the perfect balance of history and experiencing different beers and pub snacks. I highly recommend this tour while you are in London.

What an amazing time with Kate, our tour guide! I thought we were going pub crawling but we got so much more! Experiencing pubs with interesting histories, great drink and tasty food! Couple that with fantastic history lessons, of interesting sites, made our day so much more memorable. Ending the tour with a game of shuffleboard at Ye Olde Cock Tavern was the best.
