Jennifer | about the guide

Why settle for one kind of ice cream when you can try 20? The Ice Cream Tour combines the best of ice cream with the highlights of Soho and Covent Garden. Get ready to embark on a journey with delicious flavors and fascinating historical facts around every corner. Your expert guide will take you to five hand selected gelaterias to sample classic flavors like chocolate or strawberry and more daring creations such as basil and chili. You’ll have ample opportunities to test award-winning sorbets, ice creams, frozen drinks, waffles and more! At each stop, you’ll also be given a little more insight into where this frozen delight comes from and how it is made. As you wander between these sugary heavens, you’ll discover two of London’s liveliest areas filled with theatres, shops, restaurants and markets. You’ll wander around Covent Garden, a former fruit and vegetable market transformed into a popular shopping and tourist site, and also home to the Royal Opera House. Next stop? The bustling streets of Soho, famous for their night life and housing the headquarters of leading film companies. By the end of the 2.5-hour tour, you’ll be overdosed with ice cream and filled with fascinating facts about London. Too full to make the most of the special offers available at each ice cream parlor? Never fear, the deals are valid for a few days, so you can go back in your own time.

I absolutely love food and chocolate has been an obsession since my childhood in the Australian countryside when sneaked Cadbury’s Dairy Milk from the cupboard and started to experiment in the kitchen. After travelling the world in search of incredible food experiences, I settled in the culinary melting pot of London, which I explored enthusiastically. Combining my two passions, I decided to fulfil my dream of setting up a business to show people around London and provide insight into chocolate. 9 years later, I still love meeting new people and introducing them to incredible chocolate. As well as running my chocolate tours, I am currently consulting for various businesses on cost analysis, strategy, taste analysis and recipe development. I also write and speak about chocolate, desserts and food for different events and publications, and am hatching plenty of plans for the future. I was privileged enough to be on the Grand Jury of the International Chocolate Awards, Academy of Chocolate Awards and Great Taste Awards. If you have a sweet tooth, a curious mind and want to find out more about chocolate and amazing city of London, these are the tours for you!

We enjoyed our ice cream tour of Soho with Jennifer. It was a great way to begin our visit to London—learning more about one of the neighborhoods while enjoying tasty treats along the way. If anything, it was too many treats! Jennifer was warm, kind and knowledgeable, and we were grateful for the coupons we received to go back and visit the locations again during our stay. We definitely recommend the tour!
