great tour for us on the first night after an overnight to london with a family of 5, including teenage and adult kids. perfect combination of sight seeing through soho and chinatown with 4 food stops. christmas time decorations and lights up everywhere! so many tourists out, we had to bail on the chinatown bao shop and went for fish and chips instead.

Tyler_C, Aug 2025
My family has been on many different food tours and this one was just okay. The Greek, Chinese, and English pub stops were not really anything special and our group felt we could have easily had the same experience simply visiting a similar restaurant in Soho. The Indian stop definitely stood out and made the tour feel more worthwhile as the dish we had was excellent and different from what we’ve had before!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Tyler, thanks for your feedback. 🙏 We’re glad you enjoyed the Indian stop and appreciate your thoughts on the other stops—this helps us improve future tours! 🌟
Kathryn_K, Aug 2025
What a fun experience! Trying new foods, even ones you might be familiar with, in a new city is fun. We took the tour with Naomi and she was so pleasant and knowledgeable. We had amazing Turkish food, Indian and Chinese. Having spent a lot of time in China the food was spot on. The Turkish food was eye-opening in a good way! Great fun.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you! We’re glad Naomi made your food tour so enjoyable and that you loved the variety of flavors—you really experienced the best of Soho & Chinatown!

The April tour in London’s Chinatown was a unique cultural experience. We tasted amazing dishes like bao and hot and sour soup while enjoying live traditional music in unexpected corners. The mix of flavors and sounds made the tour feel immersive and vibrant. More than just food — it was a deep dive into Chinese culture right in the heart of London.
