Haunted Pub Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

The Pub Tour was fantastic; and, Arthur the tour guide was outstanding! He was knowledgeable, interesting and fun; we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I personally learned so much from Arthur’s little known facts. Thank you Arthur! The Pub Tour was easy to book, easy pay for and easy to join up at the starting point. Great contact info and quick responses to any questions before the tour. I will rebook this tour again the next time I am in London.
