We had a great time with Tom wandering around Shoreditch admiring the graffiti and then even more fun visiting several very old pubs in London proper. Tom is very engaging, knowledgeable and just quirky enough to keep you on your toes. HIGHLY recommend Tom as a tour guide!!!

I booked this experience as a surprise for my husband. He loves beer and I know he enjoys trying local specialities... I wanted to book something which could be insightful and fun to do together in London, not too geeky as that would have been boring for me. So I found CityUnscripted and this is exactly what I was hoping for! We were matched with Bertie, who is similar age as us and loves travel and cares for the environment, just like us. I told him that my husband loved beer but I am more a gin person. He took us to some of his favourite places and we had a great time together! Bertie was generous with his time and shared loads of fun stories. Thank you!

This was by far one of the best things I've ever done in London. Having visited before, I knew London fairly well, but was keen to learn more about the local side of it and of course taste some great beers! Angelo gave us a 5 star experience, and took us to some of the best and quirkiest pubs! Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves good beer and great company!

It was more like being with a friend than a guide. He provided a lot of information and we joked back and forth.
