This is our most popular pub tour, designed to showcase the very best of classic Peak District pubs set amongst some of the area’s most beautiful landscapes.
Expect scenic drives, welcoming village inns, and plenty of time to relax and enjoy each stop.
Buxton is the Heritage capital of the Peak District with its stunning Georgian architecture, pavilion gardens and opera house. The surrounding areas offer scenic moorland and dramatic valleys with hidden gems of pubs in historic villages. This area offers a great variety of venues for you to choose from.
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 2 – 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 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.
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 some 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 do 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 18 adults. If your numbers go below 18, you can still go ahead with the tour and the cost will be the same. If your numbers go above 18, this will be classed as a coach tour and will increase the cost accordingly. Please do keep us informed about any change in group numbers so we can make sure we have the correct size bus for you.
Four hours is the minimum length of time for a Peak District Pub Tour. Bespoke packages for longer experiences are also available.
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 the 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 do let us know and we will try to accommodate this. 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.
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.
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 of course we can, see the optional extras page for more details.
Indeed we do! In fact, our tours cater for any event you’re looking to mark – including birthdays, engagements, wedding anniversaries, being newly-single, end-of-school-term Mums night out, 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.
