WHY SHOREDITCH?

We chose Shoreditch for our East End food tour because of the area's history, culture, street art and wonderful food stalls. A once exotic outdoor market that sold wild animals such as lions has changed dramatically over the years, and is now home to all sorts of stalls selling food, drink, artisanal products, and vintage clothing. The area is a hotspot for locals and tourists who flock here to experience the indoor and outdoor food stands, as well as browse all the unique pieces. It truly is an experience to remember.

What if it rains or I change my plans?

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in London. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions: https://www.secretfoodtours.com/terms-and-conditions/

You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

Why do we need to pay for booking fee?

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, it his happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund as a gesture of good will.
