Great tour, wonderful way to taste some of their food and learn about the city
Highly recommended. would definitely go again.
This was a great walking food tour with Sam. He was a excellent guide and very enthusiastic about the area and it's history. He was a wealth of information and was happy to share with our small group. I would be happy to recommend this tour to anyone interested in the area.
Benedict was excellent. Had an easy going style and was very knowledgeable. Good amount of food on the tour with variety
Amazing tour. Our guide, Kevin was knowledgeable and the choices of places to visit was top notch. We recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for an interactive history lesson on cuisine in London.
This was an amazing tour. The food was good, the walking was easy, and our guide Benedict was very knowledgeable. We learned not only about food but also history of the area.
Such an incredible tour and our guide Luca was fantastic! We got to try 10+ dishes spread out over several locations in and around SoHo. Luca was incredibly knowledgeable about the restaurants and the history of the area, and stopped to point out spots with great coffee, beer, or food. We had originally booked the daytime option and switched to the evening tour (Modern Flavours) due to our guide not being available. This switched our second stop to a British bistro where we had fish, potatoes, wine, and were able to get off our feet for a bit. Would highly recommend!
Sam was an amazing guide! He was super personable and very knowledgeable! He took time to speak to each party in our group of 12 to make sure we were happy and make personal recommendations. We left the tour with a greater appreciation of the London food scene! It’s definitely not bland!! Highly recommend this tour!
Our guide was lovely and the company's customer service is excellent, but we had so little food that we left the tour hungry. We walked for 20+ minutes in between some stops and only shared small dishes of food at each stop. Most food tours I've gone on leave you very full, considering the cost. It was hard to tell from the description exactly what food we'd be having or how much of it. I was also surprised that we sat and ordered at 3 restaurants, as opposed to food being ready when we arrived so that we could eat and move on. That's how most food tours I've gone on handle it. It took forever just to get a tiny amount of food. Again, nothing against the company or tour guide, but I wouldn't recommend.

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, both in private as well as here. We are delighted to hear that you had a great experience with our team and appreciated our customer service!
As hundreds of our guest reviews reflect, Sherpa Food Tours are designed to offer generous, high-quality tastings served promptly, alongside relaxed, enjoyable walks that showcase the absolute best of the city. While we intentionally have our food prepared fresh upon arrival rather than pre-served, we have already identified the specific factors that contributed to a slower pace on this particular day. We can assure you this was an isolated situation that does not represent the standard quality, timing, or flow of our tours.
We truly value your perspective as a frequent food traveler, and we appreciate the opportunity to continuously refine our experiences. Thank you again for your honesty!
Best regards,
The Sherpa Food Tours Team
A truly wonderful tour! Our guide, Will, was charismatic and full of local knowledge. We heard lots of great facts about the culture and history of the food, took us to little hidden gems, and got a great variety of foods!
Good food tour and kept the group on time. Loved the pub, fresh fish and chips from poppies (most places serve fish that has been frozen), and Indian place.
What a lovely way to explore the diverse foods of London and the Soho area. Our guide, Ella, was lovely. She attended to our preferences and provided us with information about the chefs, restaurants, the tastes and the area. Highly recommend.
Will was an excellent guide that gave lots of good background history and also gave us insights into the UK lifestyles. I would highly recommend him to anyone. We had a great time
Our lovely guide Benedict not only arranged for a very well thought-out menu in various places, he gave a super interesting tour complete with relevance to music and history, Bravo!
Will was amazing! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! We had wonderful food and learned a lot as we ate and walked!
Will did a great job telling us about the beautiful Soho area of London and we enjoyed the variety of foods from the local restaurants!
I cannot recommend this tour enough. Will was a wonderful tour guide, and very personable. We had some of the best food in Soho. Highly recommend.
Very busy night in SoHo, hard to keep pace with the group and hear all the history that was being said. Our guide, Benedict, was charming and engaging but the whole experience was definitely not worth the 258.00$.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about Benedict! We're glad you enjoyed his charm and energy.
We are truly sorry to learn that it was difficult to hear the speech at times. We put a lot of care into our research and storytelling, so we regret that you missed parts of the history.
SoHo is a vibrant, busy neighborhood, and street noise or crowd pace can vary by time of day. Our guide noticed the group seemed to be enjoying the evening, and no concerns were raised during the tour; we always aim to keep a comfortable pace for everyone. We also want to clarify that the $258.00 total covers your entire party booking, not an individual ticket.
We truly appreciate your input as we work to ensure every guest has the best possible experience.
Wonderful food tour with Elishka of SoHo. Four stops of Mediterranean, Indian, Chinese and sticky toffee pudding in an English pub. She was amazing - narrating history and food culture. I finished every tasting!
This was a fantastic experience and Will was by far the best tour guide we have had with Viator in 3 different countries! So knowledgeable and friendly! Each stop was very accommodating and food was excellent!
Just a wonderful experience start to finish!
Great experience. Loved every stop we made. The food was a wonderful variety that we wouldn’t have experienced outside this tour. Highly recommend!!!
Benedict was a fantastic guide through the city and shared a lot of fun insights as we wandered through snacking!
Benedict is the best, he is incredibly knowledgeable about the W1 area and the hidden gems that he showed us. Highly recommend a tour with Sherpa and him for everyone.
Such a great experience with an amazing guide. Exceptional stops- yummy cheese and cider, Indian food, nap, and sticky toffee dessert.
We loved our foodie tour. We had 4 ladies from Germany and 3 of us from California. Fergus made us feel so comfortable and he knew allot of history information plus the food was great. It's important to wear comfortable shoes.
Lovely afternoon
Benedict was an excellent guide who shared stories of the cultural history of Seven Dials and SoHo. Food selection was varied. Bao buns were an unexpected delight . Highly recommend.
Come hungry. This tour was very informative and very filling. Everything was delicious, and the knowledge of the guide.(Benedict.) was amazing.
All the food was wonderful and Benedict was great with the history of the area and knowledge of the food.
Ella was a fantastic guide. So knowledgeable and friendly. We got to see a lot of places in SoHo we wouldn't have otherwise seen and also got some great history! Definitely recommend.
We thought Sam was great. We all learned interesting tidbits about London and had some fantastic food along the way. He gave great recommendations for things to do in the evening following the tour as well.
We had Abigail as our guide, and it was great! It was around 115 that day and a good part of thr tour, she was able to keep us inside. The good we tasted was all great and we got to learn some new things about a different part of Vegas. Definitely recommend!
