A tour tailored to your exact requirements.
We used them to arrange a Peak District pub tour stag do. Greg organised a 26-seater coach and driver for our group of 24. Coach was clean and on time, and Jill, the driver was a saint. We did 4 country pubs in 5 hours, with short hops in between. Everyone had a fantastic time. Highly recommended.
Absolutely had the best time using this company, and the feedback from everyone on the tour was how good of a day it was. Everyone loved the idea of being carted around to different pubs in the peaks and they all can’t wait to do something similar again.
The driver was a pure gent and was so helpful with timings between each place. Really appreciate the work from Greg and his team in organising this, would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to do something different.
Mini bus pub crawl – as it sounds, booked for a few hours to take us around some country pubs before dropping us off in Nottingham for a night out. Driver was friendly and knowledgable.
We had a minibus pub crawl for 4 hours on the Saturday night, which made life SO much easier than planning one ourselves – considering the pubs tend to all be a bit far apart it makes so much sense to get someone else (in our case, Keith!) to navigate through the drunken haze for you 🙂
Greg was super helpful and always keen to help – what I loved was that he was willing to advise and help even if it didn’t result in £ for him.. i.e. he recommended a number of curry houses and pubs, for a meal out for us, and a pub crawl. Such a top bloke.
We really enjoyed the quad biking, and the minibus pub crawl was probably our highlight – every pub we visited had been hand-picked and made the most of the beautiful countryside and canal views, and with pick-up and drop-off to our accommodation, it couldn’t have been any easier for us.
Booked an 8-hour couch for a pub crawl ending in Sheffield for a night out, then bringing us home again. From the outset, Greg was very helpful and explained everything well, making helpful and sensible suggestions.
Greg was very knowledgeable on the activities and helped to guide me to something to keep the group entertained throughout. He was always available for questions, quickly resolved issues that arose along the way and was very reasonable and practical when it came to the fun part of gathering all the money together! The lads were all impressed with how smoothly it went. Naturally, I took all the credit, but really it was Greg running around in the background. I would absolutely recommend them if you have an event coming up.
Excellent service! They couldn’t do enough to help and answer any questions we had. We booked the pub tour for a stag do which collected us from our venue and took us to some really nice pubs. Each one had a different feeling and character. Then it returned us back to our venue in time for food. Very happy.
The Peak District is mighty big! With an expanse of 555sq miles, it is impossible to navigate in a matter of hours or on one of our standard 4-hour pub tours.
That’s why we base our tours in five distinctive regions within the Peak District.
We’ve outlined what makes each area unique and highlighted great pubs within the region. However, this is very much your tour, and you can head in any direction you want to go. The Peak District Pub Tour team is very much here for advice and suggestions on what works for your group pub tour.
Peak District Pub Tours are a minimum 4-hour group experience, including transportation within the Peak District. This is very much your tour and we tailor it accordingly. With our deep understanding of the local area, we can help plan an itinerary, recommend pubs, and find those hidden gems to make your tour both unique and memorable.
As a rough guide on a typical standard pub tour you will visit anything from 3 – 5 pubs. This is YOUR tour, and we want you to enjoy the tour at your pace.
We’ll always have a planned route with more pubs than you could possibly visit, and how many of those you see is up to you.
Please remember that having a meal at one of the pubs during your tour will always slow things down a little, and we also have to allow for travel times to each pub.
Absolutely! We’ll always try to accommodate specific requests. Simply pay for a basic tour and tell us about the extras you want to add on following the initial booking, or ask us for a bespoke quote prior to booking.
It’s entirely your call! All our tours are booked in advance, so it gives us flexibility to make sure the start time works for you.
Not at all. This is your pub tour which means you can go wherever your heart desires. Your friendly driver and minibus are at your disposal for the length of your tour in the Peak District. Need help planning your route? We’ll happily support you on that.
Yes, of course. Our team live and work in the area, and we apply our seasoned knowledge to create bespoke itineraries as well as to match pubs and other venues to particular client groups – whether that be down to location, character, ambience or food menu.
Whilst we do not provide a specific tour guide, your driver will have some local knowledge. We can provide a dedicated tour guide for an additional fee.
If you would like help planning your tour, please get in touch.
Absolutely not, this is your tour! If you’re digging the vibe of a particular pub, you’re welcome to stay as long as you like. Your driver will wait patiently onsite so you can go at your preferred pace.
Sure! Providing your pick-up and drop-off locations are within the Peak District and timeframe, there will be no extra charge.
We recognise that you may not be based in the Peak District so if your pick-up and drop-off locations are out of area, we’ll happily create a bespoke quote.
Our standard mini bus tours accommodate up to 18 adults, and our tours are always exclusive to your group. We don’t think mixing you with strangers sounds like fun!
If your numbers go above 18, this will be classed as a coach tour and will increase the cost accordingly. Please keep us informed about any change in group numbers so we can make sure we have the correct size bus for you.
4 hours is the minimum length of time for a Peak District Pub Tour. You can add on as many hours as you fancy, up to a maximum 10 hour tour.
We’ll cry.
Only kidding – a full refund will be offered for tours cancelled eight weeks prior to your tour date. Cancellations within eight weeks of the tour date will incur the full cost, although you can postpone once for a calendar year up to four weeks before your tour.
We try to make Peak District Pub Tours available to everyone, however some level of mobility is required to get on and off the minibuses. If you need specially adapted transport, please let us know and we will try to accommodate your requirements. The nature of our pub tours is such that you choose the venues (with our help, where needed). As such, we’re unable to comment on the accessibility of each venue. If someone in your group has a particular disability or requirement, we recommend the route be pre-planned so that access can be checked in advance.
Of course! Many of our clients choose to incorporate a meal as part of their tour. We recommend this is booked in advance, either through us or with the pub directly.
We can assist with table reservations, and pre-orders where necessary.
The Peak District really does offer something for all ages. Family groups including under 18s are welcome to book with us. Please always check with the pubs and venues you wish to visit to ensure under 18s are welcome.
Yes absolutely! There are some fantastic places worth a visit in the Peak District.
And we can take care of it all for you.
See our optional extras page for more details.
Indeed we do! Our tours cater for any group event you like – including birthdays, nights out with mates, engagements, wedding anniversaries, being newly-single, staff nights out, end-of-school-term Mums or Dads night out, social groups, leaving dos, and corporate groups.
Yes, your driver will stay with you throughout your tour.
We politely ask you to refrain from eating and drinking on the bus.
The idea of the tour is, of course, that you eat and drink in different venues, not on the coach or minibus. If you find yourself getting a little peckish or thirsty en route, please understand that any valeting of the vehicle will be at your expense.
Yes, you can! We can arrange for your pub tour to be carbon balanced. Please let us know if this is something you’re interested in, and we can provide more details on how to do this.
