DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR! My husband and I LOVE Devour tours and take one in each city that we visit. We always try to do it on our first full day as it is the BEST way to learn about local customs, local foods, and support, truly, family owned businesses. London was no exception! And if you think London does not have good food, boy are you mistaken! We were lucky enough to Alice who was knowledgeable, kind, and extremely witty! She was efficient, made sure we hit all the right stops, and always ensured that we had plenty of tasters! I am not posting any photos as I do not want to spoil any of the deliciousness including a humble addition (*wink*). She also gave us some free time to explore the market which was really fun. Whether its your first time in London or you've been there before, definitely definitely definitely worth adding this to your list!

Becki was an amazing guide! Funny, personable, and informative, it was easy to converse with her and ask her any question on our minds. Also, the food choices were superb - I was so impressed! Never would have known to visit this market/specific vendors otherwise, and so grateful I did!

Sue was an amazing guide!!!! She made the tour easy to follow and enjoy. It’s perfect for solo travelers, as a way to work around the city and taste things we’ve seen on Instagram.

This was a great tour. Peter was a fabulous guide. My only recommendation is to consider shortening it by an hour, and let people explore on their own after the tour...rather than in the middle. We were disappointed we didn't get to go to the restaurant under the bridge due to it being closed.
