Central London bar-and-club crawl with free shots, entry, and photos, plus timed stops near Leicester Square for an easy first night out.
“This was advertised as a pub crawl. I thought that description was incorrect. It wasn’t a traditional pub crawl. It was a bunch of bars that were empty that were not pubs. They were night clubs. This is not the experience we were looking for at all. I wish this had been explained to us…”

Private London pub walking tour with a pro guide, stops at Black Friar, the Old Bank of England, and Princess Louise, plus landmark stories.
“Amazing tour with Lachlan. We arrived in the UK (from the US) that morning and this tour was the perfect anecdote to jet lag. Lachlan was super knowledgeable about the area and we stopped at pubs and learned about (and drank) cask ales and gin and tonics. We got to go behind the scenes in…”

London historic pub walking tour: four Covent Garden pubs, guide-led stories, guaranteed seating in an 800-year-old pub; drinks extra.
“This was fun! No one in our group liked beer, which was a funny surprise, so our awesome guide modified the tour to focus on cider, sours, and cocktails. We enjoyed meeting new people and sharing a meal together at the end of the tour. I'll share photos on Insta (@KittyDeschanel).”

Pedal a beer or prosecco party bike through Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle, then finish near Love Lane and Cains for extra time out.
“Booked as a hen of 27 split over two bikes. Tour was exhausting but so much fun, boys were great, we were able to take our own alcohol and cups were provided.

“Paul was a friendly and knowledgable guide for our group doing the Bermondsey Beer Mile. He gave insightful explainers around each of the beers we tried across a number of tap rooms and microbreweries. He also had plenty of tips for places to try on the mile as well as abroad. Would definitely recommend as…”
Devour London historical pub crawl: Ye Olde Mitre to Cock Tavern, four tastings, four ales, and guided stories in a small group.
