Trevelyan was our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable about the east end of London.... the history both past and present is remarkable. The food venues we visited were delightful and the food, chocolate and beverages were deeee-licious! Would highly recommend. Noreen from Canada.

My daughter and I had a great time on the Borough Market Tour with Gary as our Guide. The food was fantastic and we really enjoyed all the historical information and trip along the river to see the Globe Theatre! Of course the food was fantastic and the highlight! We had lots of great options, and appreciated Gary acommmodating the pescatarian at the last minute! I especially enjoyed the sausage role from the Ginger Pig, and my daughter loved the Calamari! We highly recommend this tour!

Excellent food tour! We went on this back in January hoping to find out a bit more about the food and culture of the East End and Brick Lane. We had Trevellyan as our host and he was really informative and interesting showing that he knew the area really well and sharing stories and anecdotes. The food was excellent (especially the salt beef beigle) - too much for us to manage and we've got pretty healthy appetites, and rounded off with a lovely pint of porter at the end. A very enjoyable afternoon. Thanks Trevellyan!
