What you'll do

You’ll indulge in gourmet delicacies as you head off in pursuit of culinary perfection! Your host will introduce you to Soho’s trendy coffee culture, where specialty coffee houses serve brews from single-origin beans, and lead you to an authentic Italian delicatessen where you can sample regional cheeses and charcuterie.

Feast on macarons from a world-renowned French patisserie, bliss out with creamy Italian gelato at Soho’s finest gelateria, and indulge in matcha-based desserts at Japanese confectioners. You’ll also visit the city’s most distinguished food hall, where every gourmet delicacy you’ve ever dreamed of is under one roof, from delicately smoked Scottish salmon to handcrafted artisan chocolates.

Where you’ll go

You’ll explore Soho, a small pocket of central London renowned for its international food scene - but only the best of the best! You’ll start your experience just outside the area on Piccadilly, the historic street home to Fortnum and Mason, a luxurious department store that’s world-renowned for its gourmet offerings.

From here, it’s a short stroll to Soho, where you’ll find plenty of tiny confectioners where you can indulge your sweet tooth, as well as countless opportunities on Wardour Street to stop and enjoy a taste of the good life! From a Milanese bakery where you can enjoy aperitivo or pizza al taglio to a tiny tapas bar serving exquisite slivers of Iberico ham, Soho will spoil you and your tastebuds!

Reviews

    This was a really great way to spend an evening in London. Our guide Anna was very engaging and knowledgeable. She works in marketing but we discovered she is a food geek in her spare time. It was great to feel a bit like Londoners for a few hours! This is exactly what we were hoping for. Soho is full of tourists but somehow Anna managed to scoop us away to eat and drink at a couple of eateries that other tourists didn't even consider. We tried a wonderful variety of small bites and drinks. and had a wonderful evening with Anna.

    This tour was hands down the highlight of our trip. Our guide Sean-Taylor was exceptional and so much fun. We loved all the different restaurants he took us to especially the secret Chinese bar that we never would have found on our own! We also tasted some amazing food. Just don't expect a full meal. It is a lot of small tastings but we still felt satisfied at the end. Walking the charming streets of Soho, great conversation, eating, drinking, laughing... it doesn't get any better.

    This was a culinary tour around the world without having to leave Soho. Our host Edoardo was so much fun and of course, being Italian meant that he knew how to spot good food! We had the best Spanish Jamon we've ever had and got introduced to new Italian wines. We also got to explore parts of Soho we would have not seen on our own. Grazie Edoardo!

    We were really lucky to get Anna to bring Soho to life on this tour. Before the tour we were asked about our preferences and it was so special to have Anna really tailor the evening to us. She had loads of stories and of course delicious food. This is one of the best tours I’ve ever had and I’ve traveled a lot. Anna was amazing, full of enthusiasm and she really knows her wines and her food. We had some of the best tapas outside of Spain! Five Stars!
