Be warned, fun following clues but disappointing food
Gourmaze is a play on the word Gourmet however nothing we ate on the Sweet Escape was really that special or unique. The first offering was a small pre-packed airline style tiramisu. The second was one of those free sample type paper thimbles of hot chocolate. We made it clear we were on the Gourmaze tour but I’m not sure if the staff knew what we were talking about. Finally something that was actually OK was a choice of 2 scoops of ice cream. If you expect to experience something handmade or artisan then you will be sorely disappointed. For £32 per person this experience is not value for money. Save your money and just walk round London and you’ll find better places and eat much nicer things.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are sorry to hear that the experience didn't meet your expectations and that the food items included weren't what you had hoped for in terms of quality and uniqueness. Regarding the issue at the second stop, based on the pictures you've provided, there may have been a miscommunication, as the item shown doesn't appear to be a Gourmaze dish. Kindly send us an email at orders@gourmaze.co.uk so we can look into this further and provide you with the necessary compensation. Despite these issues, we're glad that you found the ice cream at the last stop enjoyable. Your feedback means a lot to us and we hope you'll consider trying our other mazes in the future. Best regards, The Gourmaze Team

Fun sweet London experience
We did the sweet trail and it was so much fun. It was easy to follow the guide and we had fun solving the puzzles. Would recommend to anybody looking to have fun in London slightly different way. The only tricky part is that at height of the season, paying customers take precedence so there may not be a place to sit at some of the locations but we were lucky enough to be allowed to sit down for 5 mins to have one of our treats.
Response from the operator: Hello Kristina, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It's great that you enjoyed the Sweet Escape Maze and found it a great experience to explore London more. We're happy that you found the experience easy to follow and enjoyed the clues. While the food items are designed as grab-and-go, we do appreciate your feedback regarding the seating at some of the locations, especially during the busier periods and is definitely noted. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and we look forward to seeing you try one of our other mazes! Best regards, The Gourmaze Team

Great - even for fussy eaters
I got the dessert tour as a gift for my partner for us to do on his birthday. I purchased the voucher through buyagift which made booking in the date and time a little more complex. Once you book in, there’s an email which confirms and has a large button saying “Launch your maze on Whatsapp” - do NOT click it until the day and time of your event. It does say it underneath but if you’re anything like me, you’ll see a button and click it. The meeting point is a pub which is actually a different name to what it says on the email (should be the Museum Tavern but has been changed to The Beer Tapestry temporarily which caused huge confusion!). The directions given can be confusing but enjoyable, the first stop was really surprising! It would have been nice to have been taken to some more hidden places hidden around the city between locations - I know it’s a food tour but there’s so many hidden places in the city! It would have been good to have some bigger gaps between food. As others have said, the second place has a very very small serving. It’s rich so it works but just prepare yourself! We really did enjoy the experience. As a fussy eater with a sweet tooth, there were options for me to have which worked well for us! I’d love to do one of the other ones but I’m scared my fussiness would get in the way 😬
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It's great that you enjoyed the Sweet Escape Maze and the food items included in the experience. Regarding your feedback about updating the first food stop, the Museum Tavern is still the starting point of the maze and is located near Beer Tapestry. Regarding the clues, we apologise if some were confusing. Rest assured, your feedback has been taken into account, and we'll have this reviewed with the team. Your feedback about having more gaps between food stops and exploring more hidden spots around London is also noted. Your feedback means a lot to us and we look forward to seeing you try more of our mazes in the future! Best regards, The Gourmaze Team

Dessert-themed Self-Guided Walking Tour in London: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Dessert-themed Self-Guided Walking Tour in London cost?
+
Prices start at $43 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dessert-themed Self-Guided Walking Tour in London take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Dessert-themed Self-Guided Walking Tour in London worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dessert-themed Self-Guided Walking Tour in London?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dessert-themed Self-Guided Walking Tour in London suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dessert-themed Self-Guided Walking Tour in London?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dessert-themed Self-Guided Walking Tour in London start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
