Tours are tours and I often expect them to be very good. Our guide was very good and informative about the history of London, not just the area we covered. This particular tour gave us a unique look at the historical Pubs and the roll they played in early history. Ironically I am not a beer drinker and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the food and drink and the cute little neighborhoods. Gives a good insite into London over the years.
