This tour was great, it was purchased for us as a present and what an excellent gift. Emma is ebullient and has such a fantastic knowledge of London.

I did this scheduled tour with my parents, partner, brother and his girlfriend. Ages between 26 and 70 and we all loved it! We learnt a few things and had a lot of laughs. Emma is the ideal tour guide: knowledgeable, totally approachable, funny and with a lively, engaging style that can't fail to keep you interested. We visited places we would never have been to otherwise, despite having a couple of native Londoners in the group. We will be trying other tours!

Friends recommended this tour and I can see why. Emma is an excellent guide and we had a very enjoyable 2.5 hour easy walk around London learning about coffee houses, tea, beer and gin. Loved the London Gin Distillery at the end of the tour. Look forward to booking another walk in the new year. Totally recommended.

We were given this tour as a gift from my sister - so didn't really know what to expect. Emma was our guide and, from the outset, was so warm & welcoming. This isn't a pub crawl but a very easy and informative walk around the City of London with a short stop for beer along the way. Really enjoyable and even on a damp and cold spring day, Emma makes the tour fun. Lovely way to spend a couple of hours in our home city
