Full description
Our adventure begins at Bird and Blend Tea Co. in charming Monmouth Street. Nestled in this historic parish of St Giles, known for its cobblestone streets and vibrant markets dating back to the 17th century, this cozy tea spot offers a perfect start to your donut journey with expertly brewed teas and welcoming vibes.
From there, we’ll head to the renowned Seven Dials, a must-visit destination for visitors to the capital. Famous for its boutique vibe and incredible eateries, Seven Dials has earned its place as one of London’s most beloved locations for treat hunters. When sampling some of the standout sweet offerings, you’re in for a treat that’s both indulgent and unique.
Your tour guide will then lead you across the boundary at Long Acre, to the majestic Covent Garden, itself. This charming Victorian market remains a vibrant, local gem in the heart of London. Don’t let its designer stores and modern bar scene fool you though, its history stretches back over a thousand years, and you get to experience it all.
No visit to London is complete without a stroll through the parish of St Martin’s- where London’s West End really comes to life! Witness the glitz and glamour in the home of British theater and movie premieres. Experience the deep red lanterns of China town, both the weird and wonderful in Leicester Square, and, the center of London itself, Trafalgar Square, one of London’s most celebrated landmarks. All this whilst getting a real ‘taste’ for the area by visiting the best local bakeries.
This tour combines history, iconic London landmarks, and the chance to buy as little or as many incredible food stuffs as you’d enjoy. You only buy what you think you’d like to eat, making this expert-led food and history tour ideal for those watching their wallets.

Reviews
The tour was quite long and it was difficult to keep the kids engaged. The donut store was the best stop where we got to choose a donut. At the rest of the stops the food items were pre ordered and we didn’t get a choice which was a bit disappointing. I was also unhappy that the tour ended at a different location to the starting point - we were handed a map and had to find our own way back. Having never been to Cork before, this wasn’t particularly easy and we had to run to catch our train back to Cobh.
It was a pleasant tour our guides new the area very well
Kat was a great guide. The donuts were delicious and she also included a lot of history of Toronto. The walk was an easy pace and gave us time to prepare for the next round. She provided us with other places to taste Toronto food and there was time to grab some of that food too. We loved the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Toronto!
