  • "This was one of the best food experiences I’ve ever been on in London! Ryan was a fantastic tour guide full of humour and knowledge of the various food and drink we were trying as well as London itself. I bought some friends from abroad, who’ve not stopped speaking about it. The Gin tasting was a highlight and I’d always wanted to try the Trafalgar tavern which was a treat and a great way to end the tour! This was great value for money as it was a whole day event and I’d definitely recommend booking this , especially to take in Greenwich and all its beauty!"

    —TripAdvisor Review

  • "I have done food tours all over Europe and this was, by far, the best one! Jamie took us around Greenwich and told us the history of the area, as well as some fun facts about food. Each stop was in an independent establishment with its own history, including a local sausage maker, a chocolatier, and a gin distillery. We also got to play skittles (bowling) in an old alley underneath the painted hall. The food and drink left me feeling satiated and like I had really gotten my money's worth. I highly recommend this tour if you are travelling to London or if you already live here and want to learn more about Greenwich and eat some yummy food!"

    —TripAdvisor Review

  • "What a fantastic day out this was! Jamie was an excellent host, who was never short of exciting stories and historical facts about Greenwich. Paired alongside some beautiful locales, amazing locally produced food and drink, this tour is highly recommended for anyone who wants to indulge in what Greenwich has to offer."

    —TripAdvisor Review

  • "An incredible day and the best way to see Greenwich’s sights! There was an abundance of food and drinks throughout the tour with veggie options too. The gin tasting was so interesting, and a cream tea at the painted hall was a really special experience. The chocolate at Dark Sugars was amazing, and we loved hearing about the shop’s history. Another treat was visiting the Victorian Skittle Alley where we could give the bowling a go like the naval officers used to. Would recommend this to anyone visiting London, one of the best tours I’ve ever been on."
