Becky Newell, our tour guide was wonderful. She not only was a great storyteller but she has pure and honest love of the subject.

Sue was amazing. She got the whole tour to bond with each other in a short amount of time,like we were all pals. The pubs were great choices and drink and food were great. Enjoyed all the tidbits she shared. Highly recommend
Sue was an excellent guide! We got a great historical overview along with some great local food and beverage selections. Our group gelled quickly with Sue’s ability to draw us closer. We had just arrived in London after a long travel day and were tired and not sure that we would be up for the duration of the tour. However, we became revitalized and thoroughly enjoyed the experience!! It was an awesome experience!!

This pub tour was very interesting. At every pub we had a pint and some small meals waiting for us and while we drank we received a history lesson. Loved it.
