Happy Clients!

I have never been much of a tourist but I would happily have Gary give me a tour of London for hours. The genuine passion he has for the city’s pubs and fascinating stories is obvious.

A great, well researched pub tour. Gary uses props and old pictures to bring history to life. You get to enjoy some decent ale too!! Highly recommend this tour.

Gary’s pub tour is a great way to spend time with colleagues and clients. Taking in the sights and history of London with a few drinks. I have used Gary for over a decade and he is reliable , informative and friendly. Every one who has attended these tours has loved its charm and walked away with a smile on their face.
