Max was amazing. We had a fantastic time on his tour. He was knowledgeable, kind and funny! You should definitely request him, if you want a local who knows about food and all things London. Cheers
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a fantastic time on our East End food tour! The food was delicious, there was a great variety of stops, and we loved getting to explore this part of London while learning more about the neighbourhood along the way. But the absolute highlight was our guide, Lizzie. She was warm, funny, knowledgeable, and so easy to spend the day with. She made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun rather than just moving us from one food stop to the next. By the end, it really felt like we’d spent the day exploring the East End with a friend who just happened to know all the best places to eat! Great food, great area, and an exceptional guide. We had such a great day with Lizzie and would absolutely recommend this tour!
We had a wonderful time on the tour. Lizzie was so well-informed with great descriptions of the history of the area and how that was shaped by the food we were enjoying. Can’t recommend it more!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're delighted Lizzie brought the connection between the East End's history and its food to life. We're so pleased you enjoyed the tour!
