This was a fun experience. Kate guided us to four different pubs in London. Two of them were quite secretly located and we would never have been able to find them on our own. She shared wonderful stories with us along the way. We sampled different types of beer and cider and handsome, delicious fish and chips, meat pie and scotch eggs. We also were served some little fried bait fish that were not well received, but that was not in Kates control. I would recommend this tour!
