Historic pub on one of Britain’s oldest roads that housed the builders of St Paul's Cathedral

Had a great time with Max, as a 22 year old going on my first food tour. He gave great advice for the tour and the rest of our trip. I would recommend doing it early in your trip if possible. Great experience.
Callum was a star! Super knowledgeable and amazing!
My husband is in London on business, so during the day time I try and book experiences that are good for solo travelers. This was such a great tour. Pip was so nice, professional, and knowledgeable. He made sure to talk to everyone on the tour. The food at all stops were amazing! Normally I only have a few bites at each place, but I ate the full amount of every dish. You will not be disappointed. I’ve taken a few other London food tours and this is definitely the best one:)
We really enjoyed our food tour around the City of London with Pip. We enjoyed the Scotch Egg and the steak and ale pie.
Pip is a great guide! He’s knowledgeable and friendly. The food was interesting and delicious.
Great tour with Max. He is a total riot and really made it fun, adding in the historical elements between bites. We tried a lot of interesting local foods and visited stunning places within City of London. Do book, it's a great afternoon activity. Come hungry.
It was a great tour. Our kids ages 11, 9, and 6 enjoyed it as well. We tried several foods we hadn’t had before. We walked by serval interesting sites and most of the food stops had seating.
Unfortunately joined the tournament because of a flight delay. However Pip was very accommodating especially to my allergies. Would definitely recommend.
Pip was wonderful, very knowledgeable and personable. He shared personal anecdotes that placed the food in real lives, and made sure we didn't feel like we were just going to internet fad spots. YUMMY!
