John was our extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. He gave a very well-researched history of the Fleet Street area and the historic pubs in that area. I don't even like beer but I loved his presentation. We walked down medieval alleys to the pubs that I would never have found on my own. My husband and son-in-law loved the pubs... More

After seeing great reviews on Trip Advisor, we booked the London Tavern Trails during our six day stay in London. Booking was very easy and our guide was easy to find. What an experience! Our guide, John, took us on a four hour private tour of Covent Garden. This is NOT a pub crawl. We visited 4 historical pubs, learning... More

Firstly, don't worry that the tour will involve copious amounts of binge drinking! It's much more of a leisurely tour around some of London's hidden gems of pubs and streets with the occasional pint (or half) thrown in. Morris took us around the streets of London from Holborn to Old Bailey - his knowledge and enthusiasm were infectious and everyone... More

John is a fantastic guide, and his great knowledge makes the whole tour incredible! A... More

My partner and I went on the Tavern Trail with John and were fascinated to see a whole other side to cultural London we hadn't seen before. We are both in our early 20's and it was so nice to go on a pub tour that had so much history with it, delivered to us by somebody who is truly... More

Helping us all to understand the depth of London's history. Tasting the various ales and visiting unique taverns was fun. Some great stories from Morris who has a wealth of... More

John was very knowledgeable about the history of the pubs, as well as history on the general area. This is a... More

What a great time we had on this tour! John was a cordial and informative guide, and the taverns were unique and interesting. Tasting the different ales and learning their histories was fun, too. Highly recommended!

The Holborn tavern tour with John was one of the highlights of our 8 day trip to London. The pubs were lovely, all 4 very different from each other. These were spots we would never have found without John and he was a great guide/companion. He was full of great information but did not overwhelm us with to much to... More
