Great Tour for a hobby Chef
I got kind of lucky that I was the only one on this Tour with Riki. Got basically the private tour experience. He is a great guy and very knowledgable chef. I have learned new things from him I can incorporate in my personal journey as a chef. The many food spots we visited were all super tasty and there was an abundance of food. If you go on this tour you better be hungry, cause you will need it. I will try to bring my siblings along and do this tour again
Response from the operator: We were pleased to have you with us. Thank you for making Secret Food Tours part of your visit and for taking the time to share your thoughts. We look forward to hosting you again!

Amazing experience!
Our tour was amazing! Rakesh, our tour guide, did a wonderful job sharing his knowledge, providing us a history lesson, and explaining the culture and origins of the delicious foods we tried. Each restaurant or shop had friendly shop owners, and the food lived up to expectations. We even received an email following the tour with recipes, and additional city recommendations. When back in London, would definitely try another tour!
Response from the operator: We measure success by the experiences our guests take home with them. Thank you for choosing Secret Food Tours, and we hope to welcome you again!

Had a great tour of the east end and phenomenal Bengali/Indian food. Our host was a super nice guy (Jezian).
Overall jezian led us an a tour of a variety of establishments in the east end. When I return to London I will go back. He was a great host, very friendly and easy to converse with.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your kind words. It’s always rewarding to hear from guests after their tour. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!

Delicious and good for young families!
We had a great time on our Indian food tour. Jez was a superb, friendly and knowlegeable host and the food was absolutely delicious from start to finish. My partner and I went with our five month old baby in his pram, and it was no problem to fit the pram in all the places we visited and have him by us at the table.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. Your visit became another reminder that some of the best discoveries happen one stop at a time. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
East London Indian Food Tour with 8+ Authentic Food Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does East London Indian Food Tour with 8+ Authentic Food Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $82 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does East London Indian Food Tour with 8+ Authentic Food Tastings take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is East London Indian Food Tour with 8+ Authentic Food Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 633 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule East London Indian Food Tour with 8+ Authentic Food Tastings?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is East London Indian Food Tour with 8+ Authentic Food Tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book East London Indian Food Tour with 8+ Authentic Food Tastings?
+
Around 222 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does East London Indian Food Tour with 8+ Authentic Food Tastings start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
