Fun time exploring the SoHo area and China Town of London with a small group all the while sampling foods of the area. Started with Mediterranean, then Indian, then a Chinese bun and finished with sticky pudding in a pub. Jay was a great hostess ❤️

Fun Food Tour

Rohan_D, Sep 2026
Naomi was a great guide who had a great mix of sharing facts, answering questions, and just chatting with the group. All the food sampled was very tasty and gave a nice sample of some of the different cuisines you can find in London. And portions were well thought out so you weren’t stuffed but definitely got enough for dinner.
