This was actually the second time we’ve done a tour with this company and we loved it just as much as the first time. Glenn, our guide was great, lots of information about the soho district and the amazing musicians who had worked or lived in the area. The English pubs were lovely with so much character and the beers at each were great. Next time we’re in London we’ll probably be looking at tour 3!

Fantastic way to start our London adventure! We signed up for this last-minute before arriving. Knew we'd need something to keep us occupied so we didn't let jet lag defeat us on Day 1. Sy was the cure for this 100%. He was fun and personable, and best of all, knowledgeable. The group wasn't too big and everyone seemed to get into the spirit of the adventure. Can't recommend Sy or this tour enough! Don't hesitate. Book it and go have fun. Make sure to request Sy!!!

Absolutely amazing experience! Our group had such a blast and it didn’t feel like we were on a tour at any point. It actually felt like you were just out for a beer and a laugh with a friendly local who knows the area! A definite must on your to-do list whilst visiting London! Thanks again Linton. We had a blast!
