Sam was a really great tour guide. Our phones won't working, and we couldn't find him, but he went from person to person asking if they were us until he found us. It was just my mother and I that morning and it felt like walking around the city with a friend who knows a lot about history and good food. We got to try several royal treats in many different places around town along with hearing so many interesting stories and histories of the food or areas. We ended with afternoon tea which was a very nice experience at a lovely restaurant. We ended up going back to a couple places later in the week because we liked them so much. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to London wanting a little taste of everything. Thanks Sam!
Sam was great!! Great...

Sam was an awesome tour guide! He made sure we all had a great experience and even knew exactly where to go for a prime spot for the changing of the guards while we snacked on one of our treats. Highly recommend!

We were coming in from Chiswick and took an uber to arrive on time, only to get caught in tons of traffic. I contacted the tour and told them that we were running late, and asked if we could meet them at one of the food stops. They responded very quickly and said that the food tour would leave at the appointed time, but they had another guide who would meet us at the meeting place. We assumed that he would help us meet up with the group--instead we were so lucky to get Kevin Bond as our guide as he just happened to be off work that day, and we had a tour with only us. Kevin was an awesome guide, who gave us lots of history of the various foods that we tried, as well as some good stories about different spots in London and some history, as well. He also took us to a spot where we got to watch the changing of the guard. The food was great! We loved the scotch egg, the cheese in the cheese shop was delicious, the chocolate was awesome and we ended with a "proper English afternoon tea". If you are looking for a great food tour that includes great tastings, good history and interesting facts about London, we would definitely recommend this tour. Thanks, Kevin, for a fantastic day!

Fantastic tour! Great food tastings (after all they are fit for a queen), informative, and a fun walk! Our guide Kay was great. In addition to the food tastings, he showed us many hidden and historical locations that we would have missed on our own. All in all, a very worthwhile tour.
Thumps up!

Gotta say I wasn't disappointed! This was my second choice for food tours in London, my first being sold out, but this was so much fun and so intimate. Thank you Kevin Bond. I learned so much and the food tastings were interesting. The Scotch Eggs, the chocolate and THE CHEESES - wow - all so good. Loved the extra stories along the way and all the business with Royal Warrants. If you want to learn some off-beat facts and see the "royal" area of London, I would hightly recommend. It was a rainy tour day, but the walk was steady and level, so just about anybody can do it. Nice lunch time tea to wrap things up!
Best food tour ever!

I just finished my Royal food tour with Kevin Bond. We have done food tours all over the US and Europe and I believe this was the best! Kevin is a dancer in the West End and he moves fast, but is full of knowledge about Royal history and each of the offerings were wonderful and very interesting. We got to see the changing of the guard, eat from Royal food vendors, taste cheese and receive a lesson on cheese from a cheese specialist (2/3 were ranking best in the world) and much much more. I was alone because my hubby is on business in London and I tagged along, but I cannot say enough good things about this tour and especially about Kevin Bond!
Awesome Tour

Kevin Bond was a wonderful tour guide. We were able to see and taste the suppliers to royalty. His insight, humor, and good nature made the tour. I highly recommend this tour to all.

We loved this small group food tour. Kevin Bond was our guide and he was fabulous. We tasted all sorts of delicious foods - some that were created at the request of previous royals and some that are currently enjoyed by royals. The tour has a lot of very interesting history about the royals and we greatly enjoyed it. Definitely recommend this tour and Kevin Bond!
