I really enjoyed the East End Food Tour. I was able to try foods that I otherwise would not have tried. Our tour guide was great.
Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable about London history and the many cultures there. Great guy, great food!
What a treat for us as we were the only two on the tour. Issac was amazing as he had so many stories about this historic area. The stops for food were great fun but we especially enjoyed hearing about the culture and diversity of this area. Definitely five stars.
