Eating London East End Food Tour: six tastings from Spitalfields to Brick Lane and Shoreditch, with local stories and tea.
“Sampled a nice variety of foods while walking through the vibrant Spittlefields and Brick road areas. Our guide was pleasant but not that engaging. Overall portions were reasonable but the fish and chips portion was very small. I did a similar tour of SoHo that cost a little less and included alcohol. This one did not include alcohol but cost a little more. I feel it could have included some more food samplings for the amount paid.”
