OMG I cannot tell you how much fun I had. Local tour to learn about Brixton and its multicultural history AND trying a variety of exotic foods - and learning the history of those foods. Food and history - history and food! Could not have arranged for a better time. Had the hands down best blackened fish I could ever imagine. Obi is the best! Hope to be able to do it again sometime.

What a great tour this was and an amazing guy Obi is. I've been living in London for 9 years and never saw Brixton this way. He is born and bread Brixton. Has great passion for the area and the culture it represents. Knows every one. And certainly knows the best spots for great food. It's not just a food tour. It is history, culture, story of change and creating small communities in itself with Obi followers. 😆 I can't believe this is the only Afro-carabean food tour in London. Thanks Obi for the great tome, sharing your story and making us falling in love with Brixton.

Let me just start with saying this was an excellent tour from start to finish, taking in a couple of great hours across Brixton Market with an excellent and engaging host (Obi), packed with amazing stories, great company, and absolutely delicious African and Caribbean cuisine courtesy of some of Brixton's finest spots. Obi highlighted and gave voice to Brixton's storied history and culture along the way, in the way that only a life-long resident of the community and the neighbourhood born and bred can, with passion, warmth, genuineness. Highlighting landmarks and key-spots that would be easily invisible without a local guide, Obi's personal connection and love for his neighbourhood shone through across the tour. He was the perfect guide throughout, making sure everyone was having the best time. The food itself... what can I say, as we stopped off at eateries and stalls, this was wonderful - Puff-Puff (what a discovery!), Jollof Rice, Jamaican Patties, in particular stood out for me. As previous reviews have mentioned, if taking the afternoon tour, to get the best out of it, it's probably wise to approach it with an empty stomach, as the food is delicious, and exceptionally filling and plentiful. I would recommend this tour highly, and would do it again in a heartbeat - Thanks Obi!
