Becki was AMAZING! She was knowledgeable, funny, gracious, welcoming and took time to get to know everyone personally in our tour. I not only had great beer and food but she made the tour have good company. I would always ask for Becki again for any kind of tour of London because of her knowledge on everything and anything London. She was very helpful from start to finish, making sure every person was helped in finding their way after. Thank you so much for the experience, the knowledge and good company!

This was an excellent tour. Becky did an amazing job of showing us the sites and explaining historically significant buildings and of course introducing us to the English pub experience. Highly recommend.

Pete was out guide and he was wonderful! Friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable-we had so much fun while learning a few things -and sharing a few stories amd laughs. The pubs were historical and the pairings of drinks with traditional pub food were spot on. Definitely recommend this tour for a fun few hours.
