Must do! - The Brixton Market with African and Caribbean Cuisine Tour is an absolute must! I thoroughly read reviews prior to booking, so I had high expectations. This experience exceeded that! Communication about the tour, meeting point, weather/attire, etc. was 10/10. The food portions were more generous than what I’ve experienced on other food tours. Obi, the tour operator, is quite detail oriented. I and another person in my tour group happened to both be celebrating birthdays, which Obi did not know prior to our meeting, yet he somehow managed to produce candle lit cake for both of us at the end of the tour!! The passion, knowledge, and lived experience that Obi has, catapults this from a great food tour into the realm of a moving cultural experience. I love having new experiences during my travels, but whenever I return to London, I will be sure to book a tour with Obi. Bravo, Sir, and thank you for giving of yourself, in this special way, to us travelers.

Excellent Tour and Amazing Food! - Obi is a great guide and the tour introduced us to so much more history than we had experienced on previous trips to Brixton. The food was amazing, especially the Jamaican patties! The history of this area of London, the changes that have occurred since the first Windrush arrivals and the recent efforts to gentrify the market leaves a very positive impression about the community. I highly recommend this tour and hope to bring family members who travel to London later this year!

Absolute Must Do! - Obi’s tour of Brixton is an absolute must do. Outside of all the food you eat being incredible, it’s truly special learning the history of the area and the culture from somebody that was raised in it and has seen what it was and what it is now. Obi is super genuine and makes you feel like you’re just meeting up with a buddy to grab some food and catch up. He is so excited to share the history of the culture and it really comes through in the quality of the tour. I would do this again every time I come to London and suggest everyone else do the same. A+ tour A+ person.

Book this tour and thank me later! - I cannot stress enough how wonderful this tour was. It was extremely easy to get to and access the meeting point. Our guide, Obi, was so funny, kind, and passionate about the community; there is really no better person to give the tour. Brixton has a super rich history and Obi is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and its origins. The Afro-Caribbean influence and community there is so strongly rooted and honestly so welcoming! Every single vendor we ate from or even spoke to was incredibly kind and generous. The food was absurdly delicious, and you really get your money’s worth and then some! I was in London for a week sightseeing and touristing about town and this was easily my favorite part of my trip. Please please please do yourself a favor and book this tour; spend some time with Obi, meet some locals and eat an exorbitant amount of food! You won’t regret it.
