Lizzie was an amazing guide! Full of knowledge, professionalism and optimism for the city that she loves. The food was absolutely amazing. Spaced out perfectly. I would definitely recommend this food tour to anyone visiting London.
Amazing quality and storytelling! Lizzie was a great guide who really showed us how especial East End is all about :) definitely worth it!!
We loved our experience with Lizzie. She is so animated and answered any questions we had. The food was AMAZING!!
What an incredible tour! Max was a fantastic guide, combining his charismatic personality with a deep knowledge of the East End. His stories about the area's history, food culture, and local characters really brought the neighbourhood to life and made the experience truly memorable. Be sure to arrive hungry, as we visited five food stops, each serving much more generous portions than the typical tasting plates I've experienced on other food tours. Every stop was excellent, and I'd happily return to all of them.
We had an amazing time on this tour. Max was an outstanding guide whose enthusiasm and knowledge of the East End shone through from start to finish. He expertly wove together local history, cultural insights, and the stories behind the food, creating a fascinating and engaging experience. Come with an appetite, as the tour includes five food stops with surprisingly generous portions. Unlike many food tours that offer small samples, each stop provided substantial servings, and every venue was somewhere I'd love to visit again.
