It was our first time together in London with my partner, so I took him to Sandemans Free Tour, which I attended two years ago. Luke was funny and entertaining, easy to hear with his microphone and very easy to understand to for non-native English speakers. My partner was thrilled with the combination of basic London history and funny urban stories to spice it up.
We wanted to attend the Grim Reaper tour as well, but unfortunately it was cancelled that day. Maybe next time.
Overall, we were not satisfied with the organisation of the pub crawl. Just a few insights:
- There was no official get-together at the beginning so it was up to us to find out who was part of the event (amongst regular guests). Despite arm laces difficult to mingle.
- 3 out of 5 stops were rather clubs than pubs. We had the impression, that only guided tours were brought there.
- The "discounted" drinks were quite expensive compared to the overall choice of drinks.
- After reaching each stop, the tour guide vanished and only re-appeared 5 mins prior to depature to our next stop. He didn't give the impression that he liked what he was doing.

Great tour! Thanks Ben for the interesting stories and also very positive: Ben gives time for breaks!
Having spent an hour and a half getting to London, taking our party of 8 for lunch and paying for train tickets, this was a pretty expensive day.
However, as it was a birthday we were all looking forward to it.
Got to the departure point 15 minutes early to be told the guide was sick and wasn't coming.
Why someone couldn't have called or email me is a mystery.
Hello Ben2175,
Thank you for taking the time to review us on TripAdvisor and for choosing us in London. We really appreciate your feedback as it helps us to continue making improvements and ensure that tours and experiences promoted by SANDEMANs NEW Europe meet the high standards that travellers expect.
We regret that we were not able to offer you the tour you booked in London. It is indeed uncommon that we cancel a tour due to lack of participants. However, this situation was very unfortunate and I understand that this must have been incredibly upsetting for you and your group, and may well have caused further disruption to your itinerary.
We have already shared your feedback with our operations team and hope that we can make it up to you in the future in any of our cities and that we may show you this was an exception to a usually excellent level of service.
Kind regards,
The SANDEMANs Team
The tour was very enjoyable, with some great trivia and even a hogwarts house quiz (gryffindor won).
We had a very nice time, Damian was a wonderful, funny and helpful guide, we werent lucky with the weather but he cope with everything with a smile.
