パブ巡りと歌のロンドン体験

The best thing we did in London by far was the Pub Crawl and Sing along tour with Wesley. The vibe was super chill, Wes was fun and informative, he told us the amazing history of each pub. We also learnt the origins of sayings like; pulling my leg, on the wagon, hungover, taken down a peg or two and many more. Walking through some of the streets he pointed out the inspiration for Harry Potter's Diagon Alley. We bought a drink at each of the pubs then ended at a cockney sing-a-long, pure magic. We were given a song book so we could sing along and the whole crowd and passers by were loving it. The pianist was a charismatic character who had a knack for making everyone feel welcome. He would ask people where they were from and sing a jingle that related. He even sang Oma Rapeti for me as I'm a New Zealand Māori. This tour is in my all time top two. Absolute highlight - thanks Wes!!!

This was supposed to be a group tour, but all other people canceled before the trip. While this IS London I guess the rain was too much for everyone. Three great pubs were visited, beers (of course) we good. But Wesley was certainly the best part of the night. It was scheduled for 2.5 hours but turned out we were having such a great time that it was well over 3.5 hours before we left. Can't give away the secret ending, but we'll worth it! Wesley's knowledge is outstanding! The stories he told and the background of where some of our usual sayings come from was a historical eye opener. Certainly would seek him out again as a guide!

I had such a fun and very enjoyable time in this pub crawl with Wesley as the guide. Not only did we experience several wonderful and historic pubs, Wesley was so knowledgeable of history of the pubs and the origins different common phrases. The last pub had a sing-a-long which was a blast! The entire tour was an absolutely delightful time; I would schedule another with him in a heartbeat. Highly recommend this terrific opportunity!
