Half-day East End street art walk plus a hands-on stencil and spray workshop, guided by street art insiders. $60, 4 hours.

“We were booked onto the "full tour and workshop" which is limited to a max of 6 people. Luckily for us, the other 4 didn't turn up, so we had a private tour. Our guide was not only knowledgeable about the art and a great guy to be around, but he also clearly had a a lot of love for the scene that produced many of the exhibits we we were shown. We had a brilliant time and I cannot rate this highly enough!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 13 reviews · 3 hours · from $80

Learn French macarons in small-group London, with ingredients and a take-home box included, plus a soft drink, in 3 hours.

“Learning how to make the macarons was fab! The host was very jolly too. Improvements I would suggest would be 1. The class didn’t start on time due to staff shortages but I didn’t receive the email that was sent via the app which told me this. 2. The toilets didn’t have toilet paper and had run out of paper towels. 3. The host was on her phone between stages of making the macarons which didn’t seem very professional That said, it was an enjoyable couple of hours.”
