Naomi was very fun and bubbly. She also knew her places and history. We had a wonderful time with her and hope to see her again.

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!

Our tour guide (Gianni) was awesome. We did our tour of London the day of the London Marathon so some last minute logistic changes had to be done and Gianni handled it masterfully getting us around the city to see the traditional tourist sites but we also went into some of the surrounding neighborhoods. Will warn you it is a lot of walking but it was so much fun. You can't really enjoy a city until you have walked the streets and experience the sites and sounds. It was a great mix of the tourist stuff and how the local live (and eat). If you are going to do a tour of London and want to see how the local live...Gianni is the best.
