    This was such a fun tour! My 2nd time doing it & my wife’s 4th. We’re Americans and every time we visit we do this tour and bring any friends with us. Each time we see new pubs and learn new things! There’s usually a great mix of tourists, locals, and UK residents in town and everyone becomes friends by the end of the tour. Today we had Ricky and his lil pup Diggity and they took great care of us! We will always do this tour when we’re in town and I can’t recommend it enough.

    Second time doing the tour and just as great as a year ago! Mark was a fantastic guide! I expected to go to the same 4 pubs as last time, but was pleasantly surprised to visit 3 new pubs and hear all the different history associated. Thank you again Liquid History, I'm sure I'll be back!

    We learnt a tonne of interesting facts about some iconic pubs in London, the entire experience felt like a very fun endeavour with our tour guide Mark allowing us plenty of time to drink and experience each pub while also providing us with the history of each of the locations we visited.
