If you think that these tours are simply for tourists - think again. Such an interesting and fun tour to take and you will discover places and pubs in London that you otherwise may never know existed. Great value and would not hesitate to recommend.

Definitely worth it. I would've never found some of those pubs if I wasn't with someone that knows the city.

Enjoyed the Pub Crawl. I wish the drinks had been a full pint and not just a half-pint. Enjoyed hearing the history of the original City of London. The 3-hour tour was just right; not too long.
