How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
A London food guide might be able to point you in the direction of a good restaurant, but can it take you for street eats in a trendy market? No, for that, you need a food-obsessed local insider. Luckily, you have just that!
You’ll discover what a global food culture tastes like as you explore London’s food hubs and taste incredible dishes from across the globe! You’ll learn where to find the best Portuguese custard tarts in the city, enjoy freshly cooked churros, sample the best regional cheese from a famous market, and more.

Knowing we had already been to many popular attractions, Gessica took us to off-the-beaten-path areas of London to ensure we saw something new. She also took the time to plan visits covering different ethnicities, while working around a dairy allergy for the treats of the tour. We had a most wonderful time and really enjoyed Gessica’s company.

We had a great time. I saw bits of London I hadn’t previously seen and visited some eateries I didn’t know. Becky was knowledgeable, good company and adaptable to her guests.

I had the pleasure of trying some of the most iconic dishes, including the classic fish and chips, which were perfectly crispy and flavorful. I also have a try of black pudding scotch eggs. I truly appreciated Ana’s friendly and knowledgeable approach. Having a guide as a bridge to these adventures was invaluable. A unique experience that I highly recommend.

This is a great experience and is highly recommended, especially to anyone unfamiliar with the town they're visiting. It's an excellent way to delve into the local culture, away from the tourist scene. Our guide, JJ, was an outstanding host who knew the area, made good arrangements for us to eat and was fun company all the while. If you like food, enjoy having fun and want to get a little local on vacation in London, consider this service and ask for JJ.
