Original food tour in London! - Obi was a really great host. Because he grew up in the neighborhood, he could tell us a lot about how the neighborhood developed. You can see he's well known in the neighborhood, because everyone waves and says hello to him:-). But of course the most important thing was the food. Everything we ate was so tasteful. I was so full that I couldn't eat anything that night (I took the lunch tour). Another positive is that it is a small group and that Obi makes sure that everyone feels comfortable in the group. So 5* for Obi! I will definitely recommend this tour to my clients when they book their trip. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Get filled with Brixton history and delicious food! - Obi made our food tasting/Brixton tour very informative and tasty! Prior to the tour he is very communicative to ensure a smooth start to the day at meeting point. Upon arrival, Obi was very welcoming and made sure to get everyone acquainted. Even with the weather being a bit rainy, we still got our bellies filled and had a great time. I appreciate how Obi paired his personal stories with the history of Brixton and photos for comparisons of the area past to present. Obi made a genuine effort to connect with us and keep us engaged. He truly cares about the community he grew up in and wants to prevent the erasure of culture that tends to happen with gentrification. The chicken patties and puff puff were my favorite snacks. We definitely got stuffed with our stops. And could've taken leftovers. Obi surprised us with the yummiest dessert to close out time together which went by too fast. The remaining businesses owned by locals were lovely to see and patronize.

Amazing Guide & Amazing Food - I had such a great time on this tour. It had the perfect balance of history, good vibes, and great food. Obi is an excellent guide, with knowledge of and appreciation for Brixton's cultural roots. The food was amazing and it felt good to know the tour supports local Black-owned businesses. We had Ethiopian, Jamaican, and Nigerian food -- everything was delicious. P.S. If you book this tour around noon, I suggest you skip breakfast. There will be more than enough food to fill your belly.

Excellent food tour that includes history of Brixton - At the suggestion of our cousin, my husband and I booked the African & Caribbean Food tour in Brixton. Little did we know that we were in for a treat. Obi was our tour guide. He arrived promptly and immediately began discussing the fascinating history of Brixton. He took us to an eatery for chicken Jamaican chicken patties. They were fresh and delicious. He also took us to an Ethiopian restaurant for delicious food and honey wine. Every place he took us offered great food. The portions at each location were generous. Obi is very generous with his time and he has a very warm personality. He made sure that we enjoyed ourselves. Obi is also an excellent resource for information about entertainment and restaurants throughout London. In closing, book this tour. You will not regret it.

Just as good the second time around - Had such a good time in February I had to do it again. Got to try some of the same foods (PuffPuff - yummy!) and some new foods because Obi likes to mix it up. It was just as great the second time around. Might have to do it again. And again. And again...

Paula E - The best food tour. Obie is amazing, he really knows Brixton. The best food in London, you have to go to the Brixton market. The Caribbean food was very delicious. Obie is very personal, you wish you had more time to spend with him.

A must do - you’ll love the food, and your ‘soon to be legendary’ guide Obi. - Quick find me another star - because this is a six star experience! You must do it. Obi is fantastic. He has the best personality for this type of tour. Fascinating, heartfelt, and personal stories about Brixton and the people who made it what it has been been - in fact since Obi knows EVERYBODY - it’s likely that you’ll meet some of them on your tour. And then there’s the food: D-licious!!!! A mix of true Caribbean flavours at their best. If you have yet to meet the ‘Puff Puff’ - your culinary life is not yet complete. Wow!! Obi’s phenomenal taste in food goes above and beyond to find the food that is right for you - no matter the dietary requirements. The Vegans among us were equally joyous. And it is all done in a way that genuinely supports and affirms the Britton community. Obi - you truly are Brixton’s other ‘greatest export’. Cheers, mate!
