“One of our favourite tours of our trip! Kevin was a fantastic guide- it was thoughtful stop overs for food paired perfectly with history and details of London or what we were doing. I attended with my parents in their 70s and it wasn’t too fast paced for them and my mother has gluten and poultry allergies and they curated a perfect tasting at each place for her. Highly recommend.”

“The meetup location for this tour was a little vague, but doable. Niles was charming and engaging. He shared a lot of knowledge about Soho and the environs. His stories included little known sites and information. The food we had was excellent and represented many parts of the world. Unfortunately, I thought I was booking a food tour of traditional British food. It was still a fun night and great tour.”

I had a personal four-hour tour seeing both the Roman and Anglo-Saxon aspects of the city, as well as tastings of South Indian, pub nibbles, hard cider, wine, Spanish food, as well as French Pastry—really too much food and drink to manage on one tour. The best part though was Steph herself, one of the friendliest and most personable tour guides I have ever known. I also met the owners and staff of many…”

I was especially pleased that Obi made accommodations to my pescatarian diet promptly.. Each stop came with rich cultural stories that brought everything to life. What really stood out, though, was Obi himself. He is not just a guide, he’s a host, a cultural ambassador, and someone who makes you feel like you’re exploring with a good friend. As a solo traveler, I never once felt out of place. In fact, Obi created a sense of community among the group, and by the…”
