Guidekin's take
Taste the East End through salt-beef bagels, cocoa truffles, fish and chips, and Welsh rarebit.
The food selection also includes apple crumble and water; the menu can change, and the route involves a fair amount of walking with no hotel pickup. 4.96 from 270 reviews at €215 per person for 3h.
In our comparison: #7 of 47 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
