Guidekin's take

A private tour for your party links four or five pubs through the City of London's alleys and courtyards, with stops tailored to your tastes.

A guide leads the walk and recommends drinks, but every drink is at your own expense. 4.99 from 717 reviews at €149 per person for 3h–4h.

In our comparison: #5 of 47 in Pub Tours & Pub Crawls, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).

Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

Enjoy a historic private tour down the infamous "street of shame". With over 30 pubs and gin distilleries to choose from, your guide will tailor the walk to your personal preferences. With plenty of time to pause for a drink in 4 or 5 of London's most famous pubs along the way, the guide is on hand to recommend a few local tipples. You'll also enjoy a smattering of quirky history as you stroll through the hidden alleys and courtyards that make the City of London so unique. The walk finishes close to Covent Garden, and you might choose to dine in a haunted pub dating back over 400 years.
