A great doubled up food and history tour of East London - The East London Food tour was absolutely great! Our host Alice brought us around spots of east London we would never have known about or tried! Started with coffee then some bagels, we were then brought to Spitafields market for some Ethiopian food, off for a pint, then for Indian tapas in a lovely restaurant and finished with dessert in a Turkish sweet shop. Alice was extremely informative and so easy to talk to, felt like I knew her years! She had a great knowledge of the history, culture and street art of East London and explained everything really well, it was really great stuff she was telling us! We finished up the tour well fed and well informed!

Highly recommended - Second tour with Yaz and both have been excellent. So knowledgeable about the area, friendly, warm, passionate...and the food stops were great. Highly recommend Alternative London AND Yaz if you want to see the East End from a different perspective, behind the veneer.

Shoreditch Food Tour - Had a great tour today with Yaz. She was very good company, with terrific knowledge of the area. Along with superb food like salt beef beigels and Bangladeshi Michelin quality fare, we learned about the waves of immigrants who characterized the East End and the brave and talented street artists who struggle to keep it relevant.

Great guide and great food - Arrive hungry, I was absolutely stuffed by the end. Also doubled as a bit of an art/culture tour of the area as we walked around. Definitely recommended!

Great food/history tour with Yasmin - Yasmin was a brilliant guide; her local knowledge and knowledge of history is amazing. This was a surprise gift for us and we didn't really know what to expect, but we thoroughly enjoyed the food on offer (traditional beigel, delicious Indian food (an egg curry, no less), steamed buns and homemade fudge, as well as a local beer) and learning a bit more about the area of London that we haven't fully explored before.

Shoreditch food tour - Our guide, Gary was friendly and knowledgeable. We were very satisfied with all the delicious food. We also learned a bit about the background of some of the street art in the neighborhood, which was inspiring. Highly recommend this tour!
