Saadiya was great! - This is an amazing tour. Saadiya led us through the streets of SoHo, providing a very informative narrative, stories closely associated with the neighborhood. The stops were very local in nature and the tastings were delicious. We highly recommend this tour!

Friendly guide but disappointing overall - As someone who’s done countless food tours around the world, I always love when locals take you to those hidden gems you’d never find yourself, the kind of places that make you feel like you’ve really discovered the city. Sadly, this tour just wasn’t that. The only thing saving it from a one-star review was how friendly our guide, Naomi, was. She did her best to keep spirits up, and to be fair, the historical elements were very interesting. The tour began with the history of Soho and the many different cultures and immigrants who shaped the area’s diverse food scene, and throughout the walk Naomi shared fascinating facts about its past. That part I genuinely enjoyed. However, the food element felt like an afterthought. It would probably have worked much better as a historical walking tour of Soho with some references to food, rather than being billed as a food tour. The amount of food was shockingly small: one bao bun, a single wonton, half a sticky toffee pudding and a tiny meze board to share. For the price, it felt like terrible value. The venues themselves were even worse. The first stop was in a restaurant basement surrounded by stacked chairs. The second place didn’t even let us in, and the third had us eating bao buns next to a bin. At the second stop, an Indian restaurant turned the entire group away because they were fully booked on a Saturday night in Soho. You’d think a food tour would have proper relationships with their partner venues. All in all, an extremely underwhelming experience and not something I’d recommend if you’re hoping to discover great new food spots in London.

Poor customer service - Due to traffic delays we missed this tour. Contacted the vendor and they would not accommodate reschedule which reflects no flexibility in providing us services. I didn’t ask for a refund, only to reschedule our tour. Poor service and they do not appreciate their customers. Do not take this tour.
