Great Food Tour! - This food tour was amazing! The variety of foods and drinks to try were great. Sam was a fantastic guide and provided some great history, facts, food knowledge, and was super friendly. Loved the bacon bap, the moo and blue pie, the cheese tasting, and the drink at The George. Highly recommended!

Informative and fun! - Sam was the perfect host- knowledgeable and engaging. The bacon “bap” was to die for as were the chocolate covered strawberries! We also loved the cheeses- try the jellied eel at your own risk😛. Would highly recommend this excellent tour of traditional British food and tour of Burrough Market! Same gets 6/5 stars! Thanks so much for a great time!

Best part of our London Stay - We had Sam as our guide, and this was amazing! He was easy to find and a little early at our meeting place. The food was well thought out, giving us a broad selection of British food. In addition, Sam gave us such a neat history lesson and showed us a great part of town.
We will definitely recommend this to anyone we know going to London!

Yaaaay for Gastronomic Tourism and Sam in London - Sam taught us a lot of history and food facts we didn't know and fed us a bunch of really good stuff. A wild and yummy midday in and around a really busy market. It was great how his voice stood out in the crowd, and how he had napkins at the ready, and how he answered our questions, and how he stepped back when we wanted to talk among ourselves... 🙂
