Why is food not included?

On this London Food Tour of Soho and Covent Garden please note that food and drink is not included in the price of the tour. All food and drink is at own expense.

Why is this? Our company cares about the world we live in and our years of experiences leading food tours of London have found that, by not including food in the price of the tour, it is beneficial to both the guest (that’s you!), the wider community, and the world that we all live in together.

1) It avoids food wastage. Did you know that food tours of London which do include food in the tour price actually throw most food away after the last guest has left? What a waste of good food!

2) Reduces packaging and pollution. By purchasing food as you wish (instead of being given it even if you don’t want it) you save unnecessary packaging and plastic pollution. Well done you!

3) Flexibility. It’s not right for a tour company to force you to eat. We give you the choice of what to eat and when you eat, so you can customise your London food tour so that it best suits you.

4) A food tour of London for all travellers. London is expensive and the price of all other food tours in London are sky high. Our food tour of London makes it affordable for travellers of all budgets.

5) Value for money. Want to know the secret of the London food tours that do include food? They charge guests the full price for the food but only give the guest half of it. That’s not fair on you!

6) Save money. Our research shows that by giving guests the chance to purchase what they wish, each guest will save up to £25 per person compared to food tours of London that do include food.

We are the only London Food Tour that takes this environmental, sustainable and ethical approach. We believe in giving our guests the flexibility to customise their food tour of London as they wish, whilst helping the planet, and saving our guests money. With our London Food Tour everyone is a winner (and you get even more great food too!).
