What you'll do

On our Secret Beer Tour: Discover the revival in London's brewing history. From learning about the history of beer at the sight of what was once history’s largest brewery to meeting the team at a micro brewery on the legendary Bermondsey Beer mile, a street that’s home to 16 craft breweries. Come on a journey with us to discover and taste the liquid that this city was built on. We'll start the tour in an historic tap house before working our way to some of the funkiest craft beer drinking holes in the city. Discover how the IPA was invented here in the British capital, try smokey stouts, tingling sour beers, smooth ales and of course our secret beer on this liquid journey through the city. There will be Nine beers that you'll try on the tour, so arrive well fed.

The craft beer will visit 3/4 venues and include on average around 7 samples of beer. Each sample is the equivalent of a small glass of beer. The total amount that this would accumulate to throughout the tour would be approximately 3 pints. We highly recommended having a substantial meal before the tour as no food is included.

Foreign Transaction Fees

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
