Highly recommend!

Will was very informative, funny, and welcoming on this tour. He gave a great amount of history regarding the pubs as well as some of the buildings and architecture around them. He provided recommendations for all kinds of drinks, including the beers, gins, and ales. A very cool way to see some of England's historical establishments and get a few good drinks

Operator response

A pintful of liquid history. Cheers!

Great tour!

We had a private tour with Lyndon as our guide and had a fantastic afternoon. We got to visit five pubs with a decent time spent in each and it was a fascinating journey with Lyndon giving us information about both the pubs and surrounding areas as well as recommending beers to try. We also got to visit parts of the pubs that you wouldnt normally get to see. Loved the tour, Lyndon was brilliant at bringing history to life and I would definitely recommend Liquid History Tours to all, you dont need to be a drinker to enjoy it!

History by the Pint

My family and I went on the tour led by Will, and it was absolutely incredible! He gave so many interesting facts about each landmark and recommendations of what to order – which was especially helpful for tourists who want to immerse themselves in London culture as much as possible. This experience is so unique because you get the opportunity to tour London, while having a drink on the way! Will made a connection with each person, making us feel welcome and included. This tour is a must see when you come to London, and Will made the experience memorable!

Outstanding pub tour

Our guide TIm was just great. Met us right on time and provided the tour just as advertised. I highly recommend this tour. Tim took us on a walk thru London providing insights and commentary along the way. We stopped at some great pubs and drank some great London beers. I would take this tour again!

A lovely jaunt round St Paul’s

We had a wonderful time with Will. He was very informative and the pubs were delights!!! Although it was a hot day, I felt the walking wasn’t too much and a nice distance from each other.
