Just finished a wonderful, interesting pub tour with Ricky and his adorable sidekick Diggity. Not only did we visit some historic pubs but we also learned about stories from back in the day. Overall it was a wonderful tour and I highly recommend! My only suggestion is that the first pub needs to stay stocked up on dog treats!

Absolutely amazing - Ricky and Diggedy looked after us so well. Learnt so much and had the best time. It was a birthday surprise from my sister and nieces and combined my two favourite things, history and drinking. Would thoroughly recommend it
