“This is a fascinating and entertaining tour. While the wartime stories may be familiar to some of us, the experience of visiting such a hidden part of Bristol just underneath a well known landmark is fantasic. Our guide Theresa was passionate, very knowledgable and ensured that everybody got the most out of the tour. She also pressed on in the outdoor part of the tour despite the gale force winds and rain!”

Taste London beyond the usual stops on a private three-hour food tour through Borough Market, Soho, or the East End with generous samples and local guides.

David (our guide) waited 45 minutes for us and gave us an amazing tour of SoHo. it felt very personalized and it truly felt like David was showing us his home. He gave us insights into each dish that we had and some of my most memorable food memories from this trip occurred during this tour.”

“Obi was a fantastic guide, taking the small group I joined with around the Brixton market in a thoughtful and engaging way. Despite the rain, I had a delightful time, ate more than enough food, and learned so much about the historical significance of the market's African and Caribbean cuisine. Even on a group tour, he provided a top-notch personalized experience.”
Sample four London doughnuts, tea, Borough Market, and Tower Bridge on a friendly two-hour walking tour capped at 10 people.
“The Underground Donut Tour is a diamond in the rough, which is beginning to catch on big time. We were blest to have Alex, a gastronomic aficionado, along with his apprentice, Andy as our guides. We saw several significant sites and heard many inside stories, as we stopped at four excellent “donutteries” and an exotic tea shop. Be forewarned that you will get a very substantial donut at each store and will likely be carrying tomorrow’s breakfast home with you. Also, if you don’t like tea, you have a plethora of iced concoctions tailored to suit your fancy! Overall, it was an excellent alternative to the standard London tour. Bravo!”

Cycle both banks of the Thames past Big Ben, Borough Market, Tower Bridge, and St. Paul's with a local guide in four lively hours.
“I would highly recommend any of the bike tours offered including this one. It certainly was an experience getting up close and personal with the London traffic especially the red buses! The cobblestones made their presence felt the next day! Our guide was knowledgeable and fun, the Irish accent was divine! We had a range of experience in our group and everyone coped and made it back to base with lots of laughs. It's a great way to see a lot of areas that maybe you would not normally get to. The only down side was that there wasn't the Thames clipper ride as advertised, a bit deceiving as we…”
