Great Food, Awesome Guide, Fun Experience - This East End food tour (covering areas such as Spitalfields, Brick Lane, and Shoreditch) was one of the favorite things we did in London. My husband and I, as well as our 17-year-old son, loved our experience. Kaffe was such an informative and engaging guide - we really enjoyed our food with him. We had 6 delicious food stops that let us sample some of the unique culinary delights. And we learned so much about the history and architecture of the area, and we enjoyed viewing the colorful street art in this vibrant area. The 3.5 hours went by fast, but we had a leisurely pace. It was a great way to explore a neighborhood we would not have otherwise gone to and to try some local food we would not have even known about. Highly recommend! And Kaffe was the best!

Our guide Niall was... - Our guide Niall was FANTASTIC! He was funny, knowledgeable, and a true foodie. Pretty much everything you could want from a food tour guide! The places we went were out of the way and felt like authentic London spots. Niall also showed us historic places along our route, which was a nice added bonus. All the food was great, we were honestly sad we booked this towards the end of our trip because we would have loved to revisit some of the spots we went! I cannot recommend Eating Europe, or Niall, enough! We will be booking with them during our next trip for sure. Highly recommend!

Amazing food tour full of history - We had a wonderful tour with Niall. He was super knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor, which is always a plus. Our crowd size was small at 6 people, which made a perfect atmosphere. The tour was around two and a half hours and we fit so much into that time. Not just food, but the history of east London which made the experience that much more special. All of the food was delicious, but the bagels from Beigel were outrageous. 10/10 would do this again.
