Lovely experience with lots of ambiance, a super guidefood stops to die for! - The guide - Paul - was a delight, with loads of local knowledge and history of the area. He told us some very funny stories too. I enjoyed all of the food stops - it felt indulgent, and I have a sweet tooth so it was a great excuse to eat multiple sweet things! The macarons were the best. All in all it was a great way of enjoying the neighbourhood. I highly recommend!

Fantastic walking tour of bustling and historic Covent Gardens! - The Covent Garden tour was great. Our guide, Paul had been a longtime resident of the area. He had so many funny and interesting antidotes. Had a delicious Godiva hot chocolate and wonderful pastries at different stops. Learned about history of the bustling area and a nice long walk . . . Worked off the calories. A really good time!
