Food and History of London with our guide Pip! - My wife and I recently had the absolute pleasure of embarking on the "Eating Europe" food tour during our honeymoon. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, delightful, and incredibly informative, largely thanks to our fantastic guide, Pip. Pip was great!  Nice, enthusiastic and started our tour right on time. He effortlessly wove fascinating stories and historical facts into our journey, making each stop not just a tasting opportunity but a truly enriching experience. Our adventure took us to some truly iconic and charming establishments. We started at the historic Ye Olde Watling, soaking in the traditional pub atmosphere. Next, we went to Sweetings, a classic seafood restaurant. We went to the The Royal Exchange, and the  London's Roman Amphitheatre at the Guildhall Art Gallery. We went to other places as well.  Each location offered a unique glimpse into London's past and present, coupled with delicious bites and drinks that perfectly showcased the city's diverse food landscape. These tours are only as good as your tour guide. Pip ensured everyone felt comfortable, answered all our questions with genuine enthusiasm, and made sure we had ample time to enjoy each location. We highly recommend the "Eating Europe" tour, especially if you're lucky enough to have Pip as your guide.

City of London Food Tour Extravaganza - Kaffe did a fantastic job guiding us through his journey in the city of London for local bites and drinks. Mixing in some history and taking a few minutes to admire the city landmarks were a nice touch. This was our third Eating Europe tour in the last week and safe to say we will be back! Cheers!

Fantastic Experience - Chris led a terrific food and history tour. Six stops with a fine cross section of traditional British food and drink. His knowledge of the area and the "back stories" were fascinating. Shout-out as well to his assistant Pim. He added great value to the tour with his insight. Do not miss this tour!

Eating London: The Heart of 'The City' Food Tour - Max is one of the most engaging, entertaining, and personable guides that I have had. His food tour included fascinating stories, excellent food stops, and unique food and drink such as Whitebait fish, Scotch egg, and a Black Velvet cocktail. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I highly recommend Max and this food tour.

Kafe crushes it! - Our guide Kafe has a great, easy going, informative, fun way about him, just what we needed after flying in from Boston that morning. The history discussions and 5 food/drink stops were not far apart and the selections were ready to go as soon as we got there and tasted great!! Would definitely recommend this to friends!
