Discover London hidden gems! - Excellent way to spend 4 hours with the family when visiting London. The tour focuses on less crowded parts of London but super interesting corners and streets. John, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable about London, british history, geopolitics, culture. He certainly adjusted the information to audience' curiosity and likings. We passed via several Potter Inspired places, Bridget Jones flat, Charles Dickens' Scroodge house and dining place and so much more. Highly recommended. I wish to be able to retrace all the little streets and shortcuts that we strolled through. The meal at the end was a gfeat way to finiah the tour. Certainly would recommend it.

A good accessible tour of London. - This was a good tour with fun and informative history and several food stops. Paddy was fun and educational and did a good job wrangling the large group. We had a wheelchair and it was very accessible and Paddy chose a good path to make that easier.

Great tour - We really enjoyed our tour guide Bec as she was very knowledgeable about London. We enjoyed the street market experiences and learning all the history. Would highly recommend this tour. Our only concern is that we did not get a ton of time in the markets when we stopped, would recommend increasing times.

Good walking tour, but not a good FOOD tour. - The tour was enjoyable and Liza our guide was very fun, engaging, and knowledgeable. However, I would not call this a food tour. We learned on the tour that you cannot “guide” through Borough Market, so we just walked through it on our own basically without and guidance or direction. And we only had 20 minutes there. It was barely enough time to grab one bite of food from a stall, let alone try multiple things. And unfortunately, our guide did not point us in the direction of any of her favorites, market specialties, etc. We then walked on to the next market, which we just strolled through without stopping. Then our last market we were given 15 minutes to walk through it on our own - again, with no guidance or advice. Then, the only eating part of the entire tour came at the end, where we are at an Indian restaurant on Brick Lane. Food was very subpar and was a small meal - nothing to write home about. Very disappointing as a food tour, but very interesting as a historical walking tour. Liza was great but I would not say this was really a food / market “eating” tour.
