    Full description

    Enjoy an afternoon stroll through London's liquid history, pausing to quench your thirst in 4 of the city's most historic pubs. This tour of some of the city’s finest alehouses follows in the footsteps of legendary city chroniclers, such as Charles Dickens.

    Take a gentle 2-mile walk through some of London’s ancient streets, departing from St Paul's underground station and strolling along the "street of shame". 

    Throughout the tour, enjoy fine views, quirky history, and a drink or two along the way. Stop at no less than 4 different pubs to quench your thirst, with visits to taverns that date back as far as 1549.

    Your trip will finish close to the Strand and Covent Garden, where you'll be a short walk from the theaters, shops, and restaurants of London’s West End. Not to mention even more historic pubs if you want to carry on your liquid tour of London on your own.

    Our guide was truly informative and fun. He made sure that all members of our group were connected and that added to the comaraderie. I would recommend our guide for future tours. I believe that his name was Dave and his dog, Ricky. Sorry that I don't remember exactly but our tour was on 2/25. #GYGBLK8VNNB9. Also, my husband and I were late for the meeting place. I was able to text/email a message that ultimately got to our guide who started the tour but was looking out for us. A sign of a good company is when an issue is resolved. We were impressed and have already recommended Get Your Guide already.

    Booked the historic pub walking tour with a group of our friends. Dave was our guide and he did an amazing job touring us through some really cool historic spots in old London. Dave did a great job telling the stories of the past and had a great sense of humor. Definitely would recommend to anyone who’s visiting London, a fun way to spend an afternoon!

    Our tour guide, Ricky, was awesome! We had 16 people in our group (from 4 different countries) and he did such a great job of including everyone. He shared so many neat facts-without looking at notes! I recommend this tour to anyone that loves history
