Stephen provided a top...

Stephen provided a top rate pub tour in Nottingham. The tour was not just about visiting pubs, it was also filled with historical facts. The tour moved at a leisurely pace which gave us enough time to explore each pub. We can’t wait to return to the UK to take another tour with Stephen.

History and beer- what more could you want?

We had a great day. Stephen was knowledgeable and entertaining. He chose some great and unusual pubs for us to visit- all very different styles. Between pub stops we visited various interesting historic spots around the city. We spent around 5 hours on the tour and it flew by. We would definitely return to all the pubs that we visited. If you like history and beer this is the tour for you. It was a day out for my partner’s birthday and we would definitely do it again. Thanks Stephen.
