Cheers to guides Pip and Tom for making our day.”

Jillian is so fun, easy going, and has great stories. Plus she put together a delectible variety of food. My son and I very much enjoyed it. 5 savory and 1 sweet. We loved the food And got to know more about Manchester and it's history.”
Taste seven-plus dishes, historic gins, and Soho stories on a small-group London food tour through Carnaby Street and Chinatown.
“Anita was friendly and informative. She not only talked about the food but also provided local color for the locations on the tour. A high point was the part of the tour on Chinatown. Bustling with people and many many restaurants. The Malaysian beef was a standout (consensus of the group). But if you like Italian the arancini with truffle sauce was to die for. A real sampling of what SoHo has to offer. And if you’re lucky Anita will be your guide.”

David (our guide) waited 45 minutes for us and gave us an amazing tour of SoHo. it felt very personalized and it truly felt like David was showing us his home.
