East London Food Walking Tour

This was a trip for a group of 27 GCSE students and was split into 2 groups. Eddie and his colleague met us at true agreed location and walked us round the Spitalfields market and Brick lane area. The history and knowledge was fascinating and the food stops were organised and high quality food included in the price. The pace was good and the pupils were all engaged in the tour and the food. Huge thanks to Eddie and a highly recommended tour for schools and / or a family day out!!

I did this food tour with my dad. We stopped at a good variety of places in the East End covering a good variety of types of cuisines. We are both pescetarian and Eddie made sure we still had lots of options. This would also be a good tour for vegetarians. Drinks are included in the tour which is a nice plus. Eddie told us lots of interesting facts about the history of the area and also pointed out lots of street art, including a few Banksy pieces. The East End is one of my favorite parts of London, and I would definitely recommend this tour (especially if it's your first visit to the area).

Having visited London a number of times we were looking for something different to do so booked on the East End walking food tour. We have been on quite a few food tours in various cities while travelling but never one in the UK. I'm so glad we decided to book this one. It's been one of the most enjoyable, relaxed and tastiest ones we have been on. Eddie our guide was fantastic and engaging. His knowledge, stories and interactions really made it and the food we sampled was outstanding. Next time we are back we will definitely be booking again and I'll be sure to recommend to friends. Thanks again for a wonderful day.

We booked the tour as a team building activity for work. Eddie was a brilliant host and we all had a great time. The tour was good value, we ate so much food and were shown lots of wicked little spots around the east end. Also loved the addition of the street art tour, right up our street! Thanks again for a great day!

A fantastic school trip for our Year 12 & 13 students who enjoyed a day experiencing London with the charismatic Eddie. This gave our students the opportunity to explore East London's gems including some fantastic chocolate, bagels and bubble tea. A great experience that I will definitely be organizing again for another cohort of students. Thanks for the great day!

We had the best tour round the Brick Lane and the East End of London with Eddie! He was really knowledgeable and showed us places that I'm sure a lot of locals don't even know about! The various types of street art he pointed out were amazing and the food was just delicious. He even had one of the eateries produce a truffle with a candle on as it was my sister's birthday. Thank you Eddie for a truly memorable experience and I would highly recommend the tour to anyone.

We've booked a tour on our first day in London and it was probably the best thing we could have done. Our guide, Alexis, was lovely and made everyone comfortable with funny jokes and interesting stories about Brick lane and around. The food was delicious and generous. We really enjoyed the tour and will hopefully come back soon for another one !

לקחנו סיור אוכל בפורטבלו והיה מקסים, המדריך היה ממש חברותי ומעניין, הוא הסביר לנו על ההיסטוריה של המקום תוך כדי שטעמנו אוכל אותנטי מהדוכנים והחנויות בשוק. אחד הדוכנים התעכב עם ההכנה של האוכל אז הוא קנה לנו קפה בזמן שחיכינו וכשאחת המעדניות שתכננו ללכת אליה הייתה סגורה, הוא מצא פתרון והביא לנו אוכל ממקום סמוך שהיה טעים ממש. בקיצור היה יום ממש מהנה של טיול בשוק, אוכל טוב ושיחות מעניינות עם .המדריך על כוס ג׳ין וטוניק מומלץ ביותר, המדריך אחלה גבר גם סתם לשבת ולדבר איתו We took a food tour in portobello market and it was lovely, the guide was very interesting and friendly. We learned about the history of the neighborhood while sampling different authentic foods. In one of the stalls the food was delayed so he bought us a cup of coffee while we waited and one of our planned stops was in a deli which was unfortunately closed so he found a solution by bringing us food from a different equally delicious place. Overall it was a fun day of strolling in the market, Eating good food and having interesting conversations over a glass of gin and tonic. Definitely recommend, the guide is a really cool guy and interesting to talk to.

My husband and I had such a great tour with our amazing guide, Eddie. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and we learnt a lot of fascinating facts about the area. He took us to areas, restaurants, and shops that we would never have found on our own and made the history of the area come alive. We are looking forward to booking another tour with Walk Eat Talk Eat in the future!

I took my team on the East End tour for our staff Christmas party. Our guide was very engaging and knowledgable and created a relaxed and upbeat atmosphere. As a Londoner myself, it was eye opening exploring the history of areas I know well. We had some very delicious food and very tasty drinks. My team very much enjoyed the experience.

Our tour with Eddie discovering the hidden gems of East London was a treasure in itself! Eddie is an engaging, knowledgeable and fun guide with great jokes, encyclopedic knowledge and the ability to read what the group needs. We loved all the locations we went to and had so much fun with Eddie along the way - it felt more like a groups of friends doing a food/pub crawl than a formal tour! In addition, Eddie is the consummate professional, very responsive in the lead up and on the tour date and was able to accommodate our additional requests. He responded to all my notes quickly and it made the whole process very smooth. A wonderful tour from start to finish and I could not recommend Eddie and his tours/guides more.

The Walk Eat Talk Tour was a wonderful end to my London holiday. I've spent time in city before but this was a unique experience I'd recommend for anyone looking for amazing eats and a chance to learn along the way. Eddie was full of stories about the East End history and had plenty to share about the neighborhood's eccentricities. I'll certainly take another one of the tours the next time I'm in the city.

I can't recommend a tour with Walk Eat Talk Eat enough. My girlfriend and I did the Portobello Tales tour on a wet Sunday afternoon but as soon as the tour began, we forgot about the rain! Eddie was out tour guide, and he made the experience extremely insightful and fun, plus the food was incredible. The tour ran smoothly, and this was down to the fact Eddie has been to each stop before hand to ensure tables were reserved and queues were skipped! I spend a lot of time in London with work, but it was great to see the city from a different perspective and discover hidden gems such as the Liberte Cherie, a shop I will certainly be visiting again soon. Thanks Eddie for a fantastic day!!

This was a great way to see Shoreditch, whilst learning lots about the local area and eating delicious food! Eddie was a fantastic tour guide, who had excellent and unusual facts at his fingertips that I shall not forget! The food stops were all really varied and by the end, I couldn't eat another thing. Would highly recommend!

My husband and I have been on food tours across the globe and we agreed that this tour was our favorite experience by far. After a short time walking with Eddie, we felt as though we were walking with a friend, and he was really great at including our 1.5 year old in the discussion. We enjoyed learning more about the East End of London and how the history of the area has influenced the food. Highly recommend Eddie and Walk Eat Talk Eat.

This was a great tour. Eddie really makes the whole experience fascinating as well as introducing us to lots of interesting foods. I would never have noticed lots of the things that he pointed out to us. The whole area of east London was full of great food and great sights.

Eddie's East London Food tour is a wonderful combination of eating, learning, modern art and quirky London history! We signed up because we are food lovers and wanted to experience an area we didn't know well, namely East London. We were thrilled by the variety of cuisines and flavours we got to try but also impressed by Eddie's stories of life in London both historic and modern. He took us to hidden corners and food purveyors that we would never have found ourselves, ending in a rather unique and jolly drinking establishment! Highly recommended!

Amazing tour, would highly recommend to anyone coming to London. Eddie was an absolute wonderful tour guide. Worth every penny! Such a lovely time seeing east London. Cannot say enough wonderful things about the tour. A definite must when coming to London!

We had a fantastic tour! Our guide, Eddie, had so much information to share. He’s a great story-teller, making each stop interesting and kept us engaged. He got-to-know all of us on the tour, so it seemed personalized to our needs. Highly recommend!

We had a great time on this tour, ably guided by the friendly, charming and knowledgeable Eddie. We’ve been on food tours in several cities and this was our favourite- for the quality and variety of the food (Spanish, Jewish, and Bangladeshi, not to mention the chocolate and the beer!) the fascinating snippets of East End history and the generally friendly and relaxed approach of our host. I would certainly recommend it to visitors and Londoners alike. Bring comfy shoes and consider the 3hrs suggested for the tour to be a minimum estimate- I think it was nearly 4 hrs before Eddie persuaded us all to go home! Thank you Eddie and our Scottish companions for making it a day to remember.

We did the Portobello Tales Tour and found out a lot more than we expected. Eddie, our tour guide, is interesting and knowledgeable. A great Saturday afternoon in Portobello/Notting Hill area. Great shops like the Buns from Home, South American Food Stall, Spanish Market, A Great Gin Stop!!! and much more. Would highly recommend the tour and because we enjoyed so much are planning to do the Brick Lane tour in the future. Keep up the great work Eddie and Thank you from both of us

Myself and a friend did the East End food tour around Shoreditch and Brick Lane with our guide, Eddie, who was immensely knowledgeable, charismatic, warm and friendly..which made for a great 3hrs where we learnt so much about the history of the place..the local street artists (including original Banksey’s 😊) all whilst trying authentic local cuisine, washed down with craft beers..the owners of the different establishments we visited talking us through their trade whilst serving us. Really great way to spend a day in London!

A great day out exploring London's hidden gems, really enjoyed meeting Eddie and learning about the local areas. We made lots of food stops, all different but equally amazing. Highly recommend for an interesting, fun day out doing something different. Thanks again!

Eddie was a great guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and every place he took us to was delicious. The time with him flew by and we got a great dose of history as well as got to sample lots of tasty local food. Would highly recommend this for anybody visiting London

What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, walking eating and learning about east London. Eddie was great company and very knowledgeable I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history of London. See you on the next tour

A perfct introduction to London's East End. The food was absolutely delicious. Eddie was a great tour guide, we learned a lots of interessting facts about the history and culture of this part of the city. Also, we got to see surprising pieces of art we would have certainliy missed otherwise.

We had such a wonderful experience with Eddie as he showed us the best places to eat and drink in the East End. Neither myself nor my travel partner had spent much time in the area, so it was great being able to explore it for the first time. Eddie was great at accommodating my (extremely restricting) food intolerances and making sure that I had as much to eat as my partner. We hope to join another Walk Eat Talk Eat tour soon!!

Great food tour with a good mixture of historical information and local food. Eddie is good at putting everyone at their ease and unfailingly enthusiastic. We would recommend this as a way of seeing and learning about a part of London with which many visitors (and even natives like us) are unfamiliar.

The "Locals love: East End tour" with Eddie was a really special and most memorable experience for us. The tour is a perfect combination of great local food, walking, street art and history with a very personal note. To us it felt like spending an enjoyable afternoon with friends. You shouldn't miss this tour when visiting London. Highly recommended!

Having never been on a food tour I really wasn't sure what to expect. However after today, Eddie our amazing guide has set such a high standard for any further food tours. Eddie was friendly, welcoming and full of amazing and interesting facts. How he remembered everything is beyond me! I'm the type of person who eats the same things. Today I sampled things I'd never order on a night out of fear I wouldn't like them but they were all outstanding, some of the best food I've ever tasted. The food was superb! I can't go on enough about Eddie, simply outstanding! Such a lovely bloke, so lovely we ended up staying on longer then intended chatting. At each place we stopped Eddie would fill us in with facts and stories from Banksy to Queen Victoria's Wedding dress. At some stops Eddie would introduce us to the people working there and they would chat to us about the food, how it was made and the general history of the place. Our last stop was a beer place, the only stop where I didn't like the sample, however the guy who ran the shop was so welcoming and told us some excellent information that I could have stayed for hours listening to him, even though I'm not a beer drinker. He did offer me several other drinks which was kind and I did sample a few beers. Overall a brilliant day! Would highly recommend! 5 stars! Thanks Eddie for an excellent day, something totally different! Lisa & Fraser

Had a great tour around Notting Hill with Eddie who was so knowledgeable about the area. All the stops we did were excellent from starting with spicy chicken in a pita bread to tasting toffee, a Venezuelan pancake with beef and cheese, gin & tonic, cardamom bread, chocolate and finally a special brownie. I was completely stuffed after the trip but it was so interesting and I really enjoyed listening to everything Eddie could tell about the area. Can only highly recommend this tour and hope I can join one of his other tours another day.

I did the Portobello Market / Notting Hill tour. The tour took us through the famous market with great little food stops along the way! I tried new things and flavours and it was a unique and sociable way to discover this part of London-Would recommend !

Fun and informative walking tour with Eddie. We did the Hidden Gems tour and could not have had a better time. Eddie is engaging and very well informed. All the food stops were excellent and well-curated. Best of all, by the end it just felt like getting shown around town by a new local friend. Highly highly recommended. Do not miss!
