A Great Tour
Peter was a great host with lots of info for first timers and regular visitors.
The drinks and food were perfect for a grazing 'pub crawl'
Will come again as was a great way to meet people

We enjoyed an afternoon walk around London, discovering hidden pubs and sampling beers, a cider plus nibbles.
Great fun!

This tour is excellent starting with Pete, our guide. His enthusiasm and historical knowledge cannot be beat. This is so much more than just a pub tour. The history of the pubs, the areas around them and the characters associated with them kept us engaged and entertained for hours. We unequivocally recommend this tour to all ages. Our group ranged from the 30s to the 70s. Just go! (Hope you get Pete!)
