Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great pub crawl and cockney sing a long with Wesley. Four stops, pay for your own drinks but sat for a while and listened to history of the pubs and London in general. Wesley is very knowledgeable. The last stop was the sing a long and that was a lot of fun and a great ending.

Wesley has awesome knowledge and presence. Our ages ranged from 7 to late 50's and we all had a great time. Prepare to walk a long way and to be amazed at all the wonderful art. I've done one of these before and still enjoyed this one just as much, my family hadn't and loved it.

Who knew some of these places existed? And were so old!! The Historic London Pub tour took us to some very unique, and old, pubs in London. Our guide Wesley took us on a winding stroll through some of the small lane ways and back alleys of London to the early pubs and gin palace, giving us a colourful history along the way. There was plenty of time at each pub to enjoy an ale whilst listening to Wesley paint a picture of the early days of the place, and the city in general.

My husband and I went on the Historic pub tour with Wesley and found it to be very enjoyable. Wesley was very knowledgeable about the area, and was very welcoming too. The pubs and areas visited were places you would never know about or even know existed without the tour so it’s well worth doing.

We did a food tour with Wesley, and we were 100% thrilled with our experience and the breadth and knowledge and exposure he gave us to some of London's greatest eats, all while sharing some really cool history along the way. Our time with him was really so great and definitely a highlight of our entire week in London. We highly recommend Wesley for any tour experience! He is a great man and friend and has a lot of love for this amazing city!
