Londons judiska East-End.

During a recent visit to London, we booked a London Walks Jewish tour of the east end of. Our guide was David who transported us in his black cab, and lead us when we walked to the various sites. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, very friendly and professional, able to answer any questions and at the end of our tour stopped by two excellent bagel (“beigel”) shops for us to sample! All in all, a terrific experience! We would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested. It was very informative and valuable.

David communicated well before the tour began. David arrived at our hotel precisely on time. He was thoughtful by providing us with snacks and water. David demonstrated patience while driving through busy London traffic. David showed us many of the features of the Jewish East End that are hidden in plain sight bearing witness to the past Jewish presence and influence. He went well beyond that by sharing secular, historical elements of the city of London. Overall, this was an interesting and enjoyable tour you do not want to miss.

Wonderful tour made fabulous by David. We could not possibly have had a better tour guide. We obtained an insightful understanding of the Jewish history in London as a result of David’s research and personal experiences during his life in London. Highly recommended.

A very different itinerary that a tourist would otherwise never see. Not only Jewish London but other unique places as well

David (tour guide) was wonderful. Extremely knowledgeable and informative. Made many interesting stops and even provided snacks.

David was a great guide and a very friendly and professional driver. We got everything we expected in this tour and a couple of bonus sites (Jack the Ripper and Harry Potter). Some of the scheduled places were quite moving and others wete very enlightening.

I know the tour is going to be good when the tour guide arrives early. David came early and greeted us with a smile. What a delight to see London and the East End from the back of a London Taxi with a real life Jewish Taxi Driver. He was professional, friendly, informative and accommodating. It was just my wife and he made a couple of adjustments to accommodate our time needs and where we needed to be after the tour. London has a long Jewish history and we experienced part of it with David from the back of his taxi. Be forewarned though that some of what you will experience is being in the neighborhood of what was there. The real Jewish presence has moved away from the East End. For those of you that have traveled to the Lower East Side in NYC - very reminiscent of traveling on Orchard Street. David does other tours and when we come back we will definitely avail ourselves of his other tours.

Great tour. Our tour guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable. His interaction with us was outstanding. He was very focus yet very flexible. We even stopped for the best bagels in London!! We would strongly recommend this tour to everyone as the information provided was outstanding. We were able to see parts of London that you normally would not, please go on this tour!!

David was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about London’s Jewish history over the ages. Very pleasant morning.
