Really great tour of East London food by Niall. Learnt a lot of fascinating history about London and the East London communities. A highlight of my trip to London for sure.
London/England gets a bad rap for their food. This tour provided us ample opportunities to indulge on the English cuisine...and we were not disappointed! Our tour guide, Niall, was great. He knew the area and shared historical significances to the areas we visited. He was funny and kind, especially to the food vendors.

The guide (Callum) had have so many cool an interesting facts not only about the food. I think he did manage to capture the identity of this part of the city very well. He has been very kind and cheerful. It was a fantastic time. Well chosen foodspots as well. We saw lots of murals he knew nice facts about, same with historic buildings and of course the cultural important food.
Lizzie was the perfect tour guide! What a nice way to see the East End. Food was great.

Lizzie was amazing!!! She was super informative and had great energy.
Sampled a delicious variety of dishes, and heard lots of interesting history from Niall during the tour. Very much a history of the East End tour as well as a food tour, which is what I was looking for.
Callum was a great guide. Very animated and very knowledgeable of the area. The food stops were wonderful and come hungry.
We’ve completed MANY walking food tours in MANY cities, and this was among the best overall experiences. Niall, our guide, was PHENOMENAL with his knowledge of the east end and very extroverted personality. The selection of different stops also did a great job at covering the gamut of cuisine found in the East End. We would’ve appreciated a couple more opportunities to sit for a spell at 1-2 additional locations, a bit more mindfulness of those who cannot walk as fast as others, and a bit more mindfulness when crossing a busy street to ensure everyone in the group can do so safely. Overall, it was a good value / price for what was received. Thank You!
Niall did a great job of sharing London history with the food history of the places we were visiting. He was amusing courteous and professional
Awesome tour. Pip was an excellent guide as well as very entertaining. The food choices were awesome. Highly recommend.
