5.00My wife and I absolutely loved this tour! Super chill but fast-paced enough that it never got boring. Obi is a natural guide and shared so much interesting info about his hometown. The food was… unbelievably good. You won’t go hungry! We ended the tour with a sit-down meal in an Irish-Jamaican restaurant that was the very first black-owned pub in London. A huge meal of jerk chicken, oxtail, plantains, mac’n’cheese… with a special surprise dessert from Obi’s childhood bakery. I’m not a big tour guy but this one has changed my mind. Truly a highlight of our trip. Book it- you won’t regret it!
Excellent experience

5.00A fabulous experience --- lovely food and I really enjoyed learning about the history of the area from someone who grew up there. The only disappointing thing was that I made the mistake of booking through airbnb who take a big chunk of the fee that should go to Obi --- so if you are looking at booking please make sure you do it directly with Obi. ps Obi is a lovely guy and a great guide
Culture, food and fun!

5.00My wife and I loved not only the food, but learning about the historical and cultural significance of the neighborhood. Obi was such an incredible tour guide through the experience, and I felt uniquely cared for, as he'd already made all arrangements necessary for my dietary restrictions. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of Brixton, and London as a whole, and to enjoy some delicious food while doing so. Thank you again Obi! My wife and I will join you again the next time we're in London!
Informative, impactful, and fun

5.00Obi is the definition of a loving, experienced and knowledgeable guide! Made the entire group feel like family in the short span of 3 hours and I learned so much about the history of Brixton and why it is the city it is now. Really made me appreciate the cultural heritage and food scene of this diverse city. Will be looking to do his other tours when I come to London again!
Amazing Cultural Experience

5.00I booked this experience for my sister and myself while visiting central London. Obi was an amazing tour guide. He checked in before to ask about dietary restrictions to ensure everyone could enjoy the tour. My sister is a vegetarian and I was impressed by how Obi managed to substitute many of the option so that my sister could have the full experience. I must say this was more than just a food tour, it was am immersion into the history and culture of the Brixton area. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn about the African American and Caribbean history of London.

5.00This is the best ORIGINAL Brixton food tour- more than food, it’s a real deal experience! (Avoid the appropriating imposters out there) Obi is a great, knowledgeable host- my second time on his tour-learned, saw and ate something new each time! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Your trip to London isn't complete until you go on this food tour!

5.00If you're trying to check out the London food scene without going to Brixton, you're doing it wrong. Obi will take you on an AMAZING food tour filled with delicious eats. We did this tour the day before our trip was ending and we wish we did it sooner so we'd have time to revisit some of the spots. Such good food and he also made the group food tour feel so friendly and community-based. Left feeling very full and very happy!!!
Our First Food Tour - Phenomenal!!!

5.00My husband and I recently visited London for our 9th wedding anniversary and the African & Caribbean Food Tour was one of the activities that we booked. We had never been on a food tour, so we didn't know exactly what to expect, but it was an experience that we will cherish for years to come! Obi made everyone in the group feel welcome and seen, and he provided so much rich history and education that we walked away with a much deeper understanding of Brixton and its changing landscape. Highly recommend!
Highly recommended tour!

5.00The tour with Obi through Brixton was super interesting and the food fantastic! We had never been to that part of London before and I didn't know anything about the food we tried. We had a lot of fun and can highly recommend the tour!
