“I joined Obi’s food tour in London during a solo trip, and it was one of the best experiences of my visit. The food was absolutely delicious. I was especially pleased that Obi made accommodations to my pescatarian diet promptly.. Each stop came with rich cultural stories that brought everything to life.

“Right from the start you could tell the guide had a great knowledge of the distilleries history and it's relationship with the surrounding area. The tour was more than just seeing the equipment used in the whiskey making process with informative displays along the way. The tour guides use of humor made the tour both interesting and entertaining. The tasting at the end is also well choreographed so as apply some of the knowledge gleaned from the tour. Drivers are given the opportunity to appreciate the aroma of the tasting whiskeys before pouring them into a take home pack to try later. I can highly recommend this tour.Read more”
