You will get a chance in some of the pubs to sample cask ales from local breweries and gins from local distilleries. Find out the answers to the following questions!
What was the Great London Beer Flood and where did it take place?
Where did condemned men get their last bowl of ale on the road to the Tyburn gallows?

Our tour guide Mark is just AMAZING! Fantastic walking tour experience, we tried 5 pubs in a night of knowledge and laugh. Unbelievable unique experience, highly recommended!
Did the Beer/Gin Pub tour with Mark and it was fantastic! A nice mix of walking tour, trivial facts, and pub crawl. Mark was really personable and knowledgeable. Looking forward to taking another tour soon!
