Fun walking tour with a lovely tea shop and great donuts - I took my university students on this tour as an early introduction to London, and it was really fun. It's 2 donut tasting (both delicious, with big servings - we got our own full donut at each) and a stop at a really wonderful tea shop that made us individual teas (many of us chose the strawberry lemonade, which was flavored tea with fresh lemon and strawberries, strawberry syrup, and sparkling water); I was so glad to know this shop for later (I did purchase some tea) and also to discover St. John's bakery, which we really liked. This was more of a walking tour with tastings than a food tour, but I really liked all that we saw and learned. Our guide, Luke, was wonderful! I was especially impressed with his ability to handle 25 people (no east feat) and in the rain, no less. Also it’s clear he did his homework on our university and our state and was able to relate well. I highly recommend this tour!

Doughnuts, tea and history! - What a fantastic experience! Luke and Oscar were brilliant guides, and more than just doughnuts they had so many wonderful facts about the local area, the architecture, the history of London... It was a really pleasant walk, and honestly it didn't feel like 2 miles at all! The doughnuts themselves were varied and exciting, with plenty of flavours to choose from, and the tea break was a refreshing moment amidst the adventure. All in all I had a lovely walk, the guides were attentive and friendly, I got to hear about the history of the city, and it was just a really great experience. Thank you!

Amazing Views Better Donuts - Really enjoyed this Donut tour around London. The weather wasn’t great however Oscar did an amazing job to keep spirits high. Oscar is very professional and informative. If you find yourself in the Borough/London Bridge area you must book this tour

Good experience - Was an insightful tour with a little history and delicious treats. Definitely recommend only taking a bite or two of each donut so you can try them all when you are on the tour! Don’t make the same mistake I did and eat the first donut completely, then you won’t want to try the rest! Wouldn’t recommend for large groups as all the places/ stops are small and crowded; it would be hard to hear the guide with a larger group. Overall, a cute experience. Slightly overpriced, but still good.
