We had the absolute pleasure of joining Stephen for a private guided pub tour in London, and it was truly the highlight of our trip. Stephen’s encyclopedic knowledge extends far beyond the pubs themselves, though each stop had its own fascinating story and character. He wove together the history of London, British culture, and even broader European events with such depth and clarity that every street corner seemed to come alive.
What really sets Stephen apart, however, is his humor and engaging personality. He has that rare gift of making you feel both entertained and enlightened at the same time. The four hours we spent with him flew by, and we were genuinely sad when the tour came to an end. It felt less like a “tour” and more like being shown around by a brilliant old friend who happens to know everything about London.
Stephen tailored the experience perfectly to our group, balancing history, storytelling, and of course, some of the most charming and historic pubs in the city. We laughed, we learned, and we walked away with not only a deeper appreciation for London but also memories we will always treasure.
If you are considering a pub tour, or frankly, any tour in London or the surrounding areas, do yourself and your family a favor and book Stephen. You will be entertained, educated, and treated to a jolly good time that far exceeds expectations. He is simply the best.
