We had a great tour with Ollie. We went to 4 different historical pubs, and had a different beer or cider at each, along with pub food to go with it. As we walked between pubs, Ollie told us about the history of the area, especially all the churches in the area. There were 12 in our group, which was a good number for walking around and chatting at the pubs.

Fun and informative tour that took us to some pubs that we would’ve never found

My mom and I joined this tour on our mother/daughter trip to London. Ollie was great and had a ton of knowledge about the area and some really wonderful and eclectic suggestions for places to eat and things to do later. Our group was a lot of fun too. I’d definitely recommend. Also, don’t come after a full meal!
