A food tour is measured in stops rather than hours. This page counts the tastings on each one, names the markets they work (Borough, Brick Lane, Manchester’s Northern Quarter), says whether lunch is covered, and gives you a reason to skip breakfast.

“Handsome sexy Nick was an amazing guide and more delicious than anything we tasted. All of the food was incredibly tasty and the only thing more appealing than the sticky toffee pudding was handsome sexy Nick himself. He does other tours also and I'm going to do them all, as he is quite knowledgeable and Just. Plain. Fire. #HandsomeSexyFoodGuy.”
East London Indian food tour with 8+ tastings on Brick Lane, including curries, tandoori, naan, sweets, drinks, paan, and spice stories.
“Indian food tour led by Amin through Brick Lane (aka Curry Street). Our guide was very informative and took us to three restaurants. We just had quick appetizers at the first with mango lassi. The second stop was a full and excellent Indian meal. No obvious choices like chicken tikki masala and instead Amin ordered dishes that he and his family would prepare. The final stop was a famous and very busy eatery which serves 14 types of nan. We tried a couple plus several meat and vegetable dishes. All in all, a great evening, terrific food and a top notch guide. Highly recommend.”
