Best food tour I've ever done!!

Ali_C, Mar 2026

Whenever I travel I always try to do and food tour and this was BY FAR the best I've ever done. Delicious choices of food with great stories about the history at each of the stops we visited. I loved how each person could choose what we wanted at the stops depending on our preferences and budget. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a food tour that also includes the history.

This is VERY misleading....

Ali_R, Feb 2026

This is VERY misleading. The food is not included in the ticket price at all. We purchased all food separately at each stop. We then had to order full portions instead of trying parts of things. The tour guide was nice and did a good job but we’d get to market and she said “I’d recommend…” instead of saying here try this amazing dish.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Future Guests – please note that there is nothing misleading and this guest has simply chosen to ignore ALL of the information they were provided before booking. It is very clearly stated in the tour description (multiple times!) that food is not included in the price of the tour; so that guests can customise the tour to their wishes and save money compared to food tours that do include food. Our guides always provide multiple recommendations at each stop. Obviously we cannot be responsible for the competency of guests or those who choose to ignore the information they are given. If you have any concerns about booking this tour because of this review then please feel welcome to contact See The Sights Tours London on tours@seethesightstours.com and our team will be happy to provide you with any reassurance you require. Kind Regards.

We had a great tour with...

We had a great tour with Carolina. All the food was tried was delish. Very kid friendly too but still very good. It was great to see the East End. I wish I could have tried every stall at the market. Amazing. Highly recommend.

Yummy foods and fun experiences

Diana_T, Oct 2024

Mike and Adam guided us to several locations in East London, an area of London I hadn’t explored before. I was a little intimidated going to this area alone so this was the perfect way to experience it. I was so glad that I did this tour because I learned and tasted so much, at our own expense, of course. We truly got to taste the BEST fish and chips in London. I had tried 2 others previously so I was able to agree lol. We made many other stops, 15 minutes each because there was so much to see. We also tried Indian food, went to a pop up food hall, another open food area. All wonderful. Not much time for sitting, fyi. Mike and Adam were very social, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour especially if you’re a solo traveler. There were many families too.

Great tour for those wanting to sample the food in London!

Thanks so much for such a great review Jonathan!

More than food on this tour

Jo_D, Aug 2022

Marks knowledge was varied and enjoyable. He had great recall of history and was very accomodating. We enjoyed being able to choose what, when & where to eat as well as where to come back to visit.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thanks Jo for the great review! We are glad you enjoyed the tasty food!

Sympathique

Martine_C, Aug 2023

Intéressant mais nourriture riche et surtout peut être à éviter si vous n'êtes pas bilingue et souhaitez bénéficier de toutes les explications données par Mike car certes il parle de façon très intelligible mais tellement vite que j'ai bientôt décroché et n'ai pas pu en profiter. Sympathique malgré tout, merci
