great and unforgettable experience! - This food tour was an unforgettable experience! In the beginning, our guide Obi warmly welcomed us and introduced us to the history and culture of the London neighborhood Brixton. With his incredibly friendly, accommodating, and authentic personality, he brought us closer to the individual specialties, as well as interesting details about them. The selection of local streetfood-stalls was excellent, diverse, and exciting, and we also heard stories about the different stands we visited. The small group size made the tour very pleasant, creating a relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely do the tour again and can highly recommend it to anyone interested in African and Caribbean food, or simply those who would like to try it, as well as to anyone who wants to learn more about the history of the Brixton neighborhood! We would definitely recommend visitors to come with an empty stomach and avoid eating a few hours before! :) We wish you lots of fun on the tour! Alexandra and Helene

Come hungry and leave with belly full of delicious food and mind full of knowledge of Brixton Market flavors and history - I can’t say enough positive things about this tour! Obi is incredibly friendly and approachable. He will answer all your questions. His customer service is second to none. This is more than a tour, this is an experience you will never forget. The food was delicious and fresh. The history of the market will stay with you forever. I highly recommend Obi for all your London tours. Many thanks Obi for going over and beyond.

Great tour, outstanding guide and often overlooked history - Outstanding and enjoyable insights into a different side of London. Obi is personable and knowledgeable. He tells the story of Brixton, including before the post war immigration changed it, and the changes resulting from the immigrants who ended up there, and made homes, while changing London. It was fun, and the food was excellent. Really a great tour experience. If you are interested in learning more about London’s diversity, you should take this tour.

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...
