Amazing Guide and Great Food Choices! - I only had a day in London and after hitting as many of the major landmarks as I could, this was the perfect way to end the day! I'm going to be honest, going into this tour I wasn't sure what to expect as my preconceived notions of UK food was pretty much just fish and chips.
We never actually had any chips (or fries to us Americans) which was actually a bit sad as I never ended up trying proper British fish and chips. But I was definitely not disappointed with the food we tried! Not only were the food and drinks delicious, but the places were so unique. I don't want to spoil the surprises but everything was so cool and we got to learn a bit about the history of the area and how different cultures's food became a part of London and specifically Soho's food scene.
A bit of a late review because I'm so bad at doing these, but thank you so much to Elle!! You were an amazing guide and the next time I'm in London I will definitely try another of these food tours as they have some in a few different areas.

Very good mix of food and history - I lived in London for many years, but always felt that there is more to SoHo than many restaurants and large crowds, so I decided to do this tour. Our guide Jay did an excellent job at guiding our group through the fascinating history of SoHo and the 4 places he had chosen for food & drinks (Indian, British, Chinese, Burmese and a cocktail bar). Each location represented a piece of history of SoHo. Food was tasty and interesting as well as the drinks. Jay was attentive and engaging. It was lovely to talk to people from other countries on the tour. I recommend this tour.

You'd be mad to mizs this - I've been in London ten years and spent a fair bit of time in Soho. I thought I knew my stuff but It's astonishing how much there to see, only if you look!
Fortunately, our guide, Tom, was there to help us do that. From Blue Plaques to pineapples. Tom pointed out things that you'd never see. He didn't just recite facts, but linked up the layers of living history in Soho. He showed us the room where Mozart lived, just down the road from where the Rolling Stones rehearsed for their first gig!
This was coupled with exquisite food; beautifully presented thoughtfully selected to go with the historical arc of the tour; great company and striking venues with friendly, smooth and rapid service made me feel a little like a VIP.
I hear there are more Eating Europe tours in London and I'll be sure to check them out.
