Guide #63812

Hi, I'm Paul and I started my events business AleHunters eight years ago. Originally from South Wales I have been living in London for over 35 years and have got to know my city's rich history and its secrets from years of exploring its streets. Over the years I have amassed a wealth of knowledge about my city. From the major historical sites to those unexplored alleyways with hidden jewels - places that you will not find in the guidebooks. Of course London is also well known for its pubs and I will make sure that I point out the better ones to you so you can quench your thirst after a couple of hours exploring the city. My tours will introduce you to the history of my city, from Roman to Shakespearean and on to Dickensian and the beginnings of modern journalism. You will discover some of the most beautiful heritage pubs in the world and contrast that with London's best modern craft breweries. And I will share with you the amazing history of one of the world's oldest markets, serving Londoners for 1, 000 years. Following a long career in hospitality, I joined the Quality Team at Fuller's Brewery in 2016 and spent three extremely rewarding years there. On Saturdays I started giving tours of the brewery which prompted me to start my own business. At AleHunters we offer historical city tours, heritage pub tours, craft brewery tours and trips to Belgian to explore the beer culture there. An accredited beer sommelier and certified Cicerone® I deliver tutored beer tastings and training on the sensory evaluation of beer and have a thorough knowledge of beer - from grain to glass. I also judge beer at competitions worldwide. When I have the time I also write articles on beer tourism for my blog 'Beer Sommelier Kew' and the Brewers Journal magazine. I look forward to sharing my knowledge, enthusiasm and experience with you. Cheers! - Certified Cicerone® - Belgian Beer Styles Cicerone ® - Accredited IBD Beer Sommelier - Trainer BIIAB Level 2 Award in Beer and Cellar quality - Awarded the Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice for the past three years - Brewery Tour Operator of the year 2022/23 Global Awards For my tours, I have no restrictions

    Hey Mark It was a pleasure to meet everyone and show you around some of the lesser known parts of my city. And have a few beers too! I hope that you had a comfortable and safe trip home. Cheers! Paul

    on behalf of John, Dana and Wayde Had an excellent time on the Pub Tour with Paul! He’s got a great sense of humor, and really made the tour enjoyable. Paul knew his stuff, lots of fun facts about the pubs and the area. It felt like a great mix of history and, of course, good drinks! Paul was super friendly and kept things moving at a good pace. We hit all the right...

    Paul's tour was really fun. I highly recommend this pub tour. He mixed history with fun stories and of course great beer! He is very knowledgeable about beer and enthusiast about educating people! The best part is he takes you down streets and alleys devoid of tourists! Highly recommend!
