About
Lovers of pubs hello!
The pub is a British institution par excellence. Formerly called taverns, 'inns' or 'alehouses', some of the capital's pubs date back to Shakespeare's century, others from the Victorian era.
But you still have to know how to find them.
This guided tour invites you to discover some of London's must-see historical pubs. Each stop will be a jump in the past during which we will evoke a very particular historical episode like the appearance of the first signs, the Inns of Court, the publication
early London newspapers and many others. You'll know the story behind the names of the pubs and that ancestral beverage that is beer.
According to your desires we will be able to visit several historical pubs and why not enjoy around a glass of their superb decoration and atmosphere.

- OYP-London0 contributionsExcellent tour, full of facts and anecdotesVery good value. We organised a tour for 11 people around the East End of London. Our guide Jordi was fabulous, and full of energy, mixing facts, anecdotes and humour with ease. Our 4-hour tour of the East End was varied, full of fun and informative. We will rebook next year for a different area of LondonWritten April 25, 2022

C'était notre troisième visite avec Maxime, et nous avons adoré ces trois heures aussi amusantes qu'instructives. Puisqu'il permet de découvrir Londres sous un angle différent, nous conseillerions ce tour à tout le monde, que vous connaissiez bien Londres ou non !

Pour découvrir l'ambiance et connaître les anecdotes liés à chacun de ces endroits, rien ne vaut un guide comme Maxime qui apprécie et connait particulièrement chacun de ces lieux.
Il peut même vous conseillé efficacement pour goûter la boisson locale.
Cela a été une promenade en soirée très agréable et très sympathique à la découverte de pubs très typiques.

Superbe expérience que cette visite des pubs historiques de Londres! Maxime connaît parfaitement bien son sujet et même plus encore. Il est souriant, agréable et très avenant. Il connaît certainement mieux Londres que certains londonniens. Les petites ruelles, les petits trésors cachés, les pubs peu connus du grand public ont rythmé notre découverte! Nous avons passé un très bon moment avec lui et nous avons appris beaucoup de choses! Je vous recommande vivement une visite en sa compagnie. Cloturer notre séjour par cette visite nous a laissé un goût de "reviens-y"! Merci Maxime!

C’était notre 2e tour avec Max, nous avions tellement apprécié celui de la City que nous voulions essayer autre chose et une fois de plus nous avons été bluffés par ses connaissances, son enthousiasme et les joyaux qu’il nous a fait découvrir. Je ne peux que très chaleureusement le recommander comme guide, j’habite à Londres depuis 10 ans et j’ai découvert des coins que je ne connaissais même pas!

We loved our visit with Maxime! He showed us hidden passages, pubs with fascinating pasts, and told us many anecdotes. We also had the opportunity to stop for a drink twice, and to get to know each other better. The flow went very well, Maxime is a well of knowledge and very warm. I would happily visit him again.

Nous avons passé un super moment avec Maxime. Il nous a fait découvrir des endroits de Londres que nous ne connaissions pas (nous venons pourtant à Londres régulièrement depuis plus de 10 ans) et ses commentaires sont très intéressants et accessibles à tous. Nous n’avons pas vu le temps passer. Notre seul regret: ne pas avoir eu l’occasion de prendre part à une autre visite guidée avec Maxime. Ce sera pour une prochaine fois! N’hésitez pas, vous ne serez pas déçus.

Super moment en compagnie de Maxime ! Mon conjoint et moi-même avons adoré cette visite guidée ! Nous avons appris beaucoup de choses, sur les pubs, mais pas que ( architecture, histoire,...). Le rythme était parfait . Nous vous recommandons cette visite et pour notre part nous ne manquerons pas de participer à une des autres visites proposées par Maxime lors de notre prochain séjour à Londres.

Maxime et son collègue Jordi sont très compétents et agréables et très a l écoute de nos désirs . En effet, J ai commandé la préparation de 2 tours privés en "sur mesure" pour 4 participants et nous avons eu droit a des prestations de très grandes qualités. Nous avions fait appel à Maxime il y a 3 ans pour une visite de Jack l eventreur et nous avions garder ses coordonnées précieusement et bien nous en a pris . Je n hésiterai pas à le resoliciter et le recommande vivement.
