Amazing private pub tour of London - Fantastic private London historic pub tour with Dewi. The pubs and drinks were terrific, but the highlight was our guide, Dewi, who kept us entertained throughout and wanting more when it was over. Can’t recommended this tour more highly. On a scale of 1 to 10, it was an 11!

Great tour. - The guide, Dewi, was great. He is such a fun guy. I’ve done a lot of tours in my life and he was one of the best I’ve been with. He took me to a lot of pubs and knew a lot of history behind them. Also a quick stop at a book store and a liquor store. It was a great three hours and I highly recommend it.

The hidden pubs of London town - Our tour guide Dewi was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and fun. Despite living in London for 24 years, he allowed me to discover pubs and passages I had never previously explored. His cider recommendations were also cracking!

Fun tour - This was a fun tour. A little pricey, cause it doesn’t include any pints or anything but not bad. We had a great tour guide. I thought we would see some little known pubs or secret spots – not sure if we did that. The four pubs we went to were fun. Note that you can get a half pint instead of a pint at each stop so you can make it through each of the stops. I guess I would definitely do this again so have fun.
