London's Timeless Taverns: Exclusive Private Pub Tour

We had the absolute pleasure of joining Stephen for a private guided pub tour in London, and it was truly the highlight of our trip. Stephen’s encyclopedic knowledge extends far beyond the pubs themselves, though each stop had its own fascinating story and character. He wove together the history of London, British culture, and even broader European events with such depth and clarity that every street corner seemed to come alive. What really sets Stephen apart, however, is his humor and engaging personality. He has that rare gift of making you feel both entertained and enlightened at the same time. The four hours we spent with him flew by, and we were genuinely sad when the tour came to an end. It felt less like a “tour” and more like being shown around by a brilliant old friend who happens to know everything about London. Stephen tailored the experience perfectly to our group, balancing history, storytelling, and of course, some of the most charming and historic pubs in the city. We laughed, we learned, and we walked away with not only a deeper appreciation for London but also memories we will always treasure. If you are considering a pub tour, or frankly, any tour in London or the surrounding areas, do yourself and your family a favor and book Stephen. You will be entertained, educated, and treated to a jolly good time that far exceeds expectations. He is simply the best.

My wife and I had a wonderful time on this tour. Super interactive and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend it.

Stephan added so much color and knowledge to the tour. It was a great experience start to finish. We got to see many different neighborhoods and pubs that we never would have found on our own.

Fabulous tour! A must-do if you have a free afternoon in London and are interested in some unique tid-bits and great storytelling! Stephen was an incredible guide who immediately fit in our group and felt like a friend; plus he always had a lively story to share with us over a pint! Would highly recommend this tour (or any of the Ye Olde England themed tours) and will be doing it again on my next trip to London!

This is a must for anyone coming to London. Steven is a fun and energetic character who knows everything about the city and beyond, answering any question I had to throw at him. Tours and history aren’t the most boring things in the world for me but it isn’t something I typically look forward to. However, looking back on the trip this was a highlight. Being able to see/tour the city and different pubs with a local was great. A lot of pubs we went to we would’ve never found on our own. Thanks Steven!

What an incredible tour!!! Our guide Stephen took us to five pubs that were fantastic with each one having a very unique history (and the beers were great too!). My favorite was the Mayflower, the oldest pub on the River Thames! Stephen is incredibly knowledgeable on London's history and shared many interesting stories about the pubs and the surrounding area. I would recommend this tour to anyone and we look forward to booking another tour with him next year!

Stephen was an exceptional friendly and knowledgeable guide! We got great pub history as well as history around London. Definitely worth it! I highly recommend this tour.

Stephen took us on this amazing tour of some of the hidden historic pubs in london.We loved the day very much Stephen is very friendly chatty and has so much knowledge. We will go on one of his tours again and would thoroughly recommend his tours to everyone. we saw places we didn't know existed despite living only an hours drive from London . He also gave us a longer day than we expected and didn't feel rushed at all 10/10

Such a wonderful tour. Stephen was an amazing guide full of knowledge and enthusiasm. We not only went to pubs with an abundance of history but also saw numerous monuments and special sights. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to go on a pub tour, it is definitely worth it

Fantastic tour. Stephen is an amazing guide. It’s not just a Pub tour but a tour that provides interesting historical information. Stephen is an entertaining guy and we enjoyed every moment of our tour. A great way to spend a day.
