Worthwhile tour

Published on Mar, 2025

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Great food, drinks and stories. Chris was fabulous. Even if we knew something about the topic, he had something more to add.

Delicious and data-filled!

Published on Mar, 2025

Lauren was a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide, and the food was fantastic! It was a great way to explore a new-to-me part of London.

Great City food tour with Max

Published on Mar, 2025

We really enjoyed our City food tour with Max. He was personable and entertaining so it was a fun afternoon. He impressed us with his in-depth knowledge of London history and we enjoyed the stories about the places we visited. The food was delicious and plentiful; the steak pie and accompanying pale ale were a favorite. The City food tour was the perfect London experience for us!

Great authentic pairing of food, drink and history

Published on Mar, 2025

Great combo of history and local food! We discussed everything from Christopher Wren to post office boxes and Lloyd’s of London history with our excellent guide Chris. Interesting local history facts and public spaces were equally highlighted between 5 delightful food stops. The food and drinks were well prepared and unique. Sweetings and the George and Vulture were authentic spaces we would never have found on our own where you can feel the history. Appreciated the fact that it included drinks with the food. Definitely worth your afternoon!
