Tours in 2016!

I'm so excited about 2016! I've come up with loads of really fun and entertaining tours! Here's just a small preview of some of the tours I have planned for next year! The tours will be starting in February!

Doctor Who's London: The Doctor spends a lot of time in London, though the show is actually filmed in Wales. This tour takes you on a trip around some of the the London locations from the TV show. We might even see a TARDIS or two!
Date to be determined

The Camden Railway Pub Crawl: There are several lovely and historic pubs along the railway going through Camden. This pub crawl takes you through history from a Victorian Gin House to a local Camden Town Brewery.
Date to be determined, but will probably be on a bank holiday weekend.

The Famous Castle Pubs of Camden: In Victorian times Camden built four (or five depending on who you talk to) castle pubs...only three of them still exsist as pubs.
Date to be determined, but will probably be on a bank holiday weekend.

 The Crazy Cat Lady Tour of London (gentlemen also welcome): On Valentine's Day, I will be giving a tour of cats of London! From Dick Whittington's cat to Nelson the pub cat.

Historic Samuel Smith Pub Crawl

There are over thirty Sam Smith's pubs in London.
This tour will take you to six of them...including:

*one of the oldest pubs in London

*one of the most beautiful Victorian pubs in London

*one of the most bohemian pubs in London, a pub that Charles Dickens drank at and mentions in The Tale of Two Cities.

Obviously, this tour is 18 and over only!

Price: Only £10, so you have more money to spend on beer, though Sam Smith's are quite cheap for London.

Days & Time: The fourth Saturday of each month at 5pm, starting on July 25th, and running until November 28th, 2015.

The meeting spot is outside Goodge Street Tube Station on the Northern Line.

We will be going to a total of six pubs.
We recommend only having a half pint at each pub, eating something before the pub crawl and remember to pace yourself. Don't ruin everyone's good time by getting too drunk and acting in a disgraceful manner.

We are your guides not your babysitters.
