“Paul was an amazing guide who shared his vast knowledge about the beer industry. He made everyone feel welcomed. The tour group compromised of only 9 of us, so it was great to have such personalized attention and were able to listen to Paul’s stories and learn about the industry. We visited 5 breweries in the Bermondsey Beer mile and drank a variety of beers. Highly recommend this tour. My husband, and I had a great time. Everyone was great!”
