Absolutely brilliant tour, great variety and abundance of food. Our guide, Trevelyan was amazing, really brought the history to life.

Trevelyan is more than a food guide — he is also a historian, an architect and a writer. Each of these qualities made the tour even more engaging and interactive. He also has a great sense of humor, which makes him more personable. His knowledge extended beyond East End as he answered our questions that had little to do with the tour. The variety of food sampled was excellent, and to end the tour with a half-pint of London Black was the best way to finish. As a side note, another tour passed us, and we reflected on how a megaphone would be useful for future tours!

I booked this tour specifically to go to Beigal Bake on Brick Lane and was pleasantly surprised about how much I enjoyed the food at a couple of the other stops.
Veronica was a great tour guide sharing her knowledge of the area and the time really flew by.
This was a great food walking tour but just know you definitely need to come hungry! At the six stops, we had food tour tasting portions, but it was still a lot of food.
