What travelers are saying
Pip was a wonderfully engaging guide and really enjoys his job. Gave lots of history of not only Borough Market, but London and the south bank, as well. Had 6 delicious food and drink tastings and despite the crowds, we navigated the market and area quite well.
This tour was fantastic. Multiple samples from different locations in the market as well as a walking tour with history of the area. Highly recommend!
A lot of fun and the food was great
We loved Jordana!
Roisin - was our tour guide. She was friendly and knowledgeable about the market and its history. The pace was perfect. The locations varied. Each stop allowed a different bite or sip of the Market - a great diversity of tastes and flavors. I would sign up for another tour led by Roisin.
We are so glad we did this. Borough Market is incredible but we think without this tour we may have been overwhelmed and not experienced as much as we did. Our Guide (Lane) was one of our favorites across our two-week trip to Europe. She was informative, hilarious and so enjoyable to spend the morning with. She also took us to some unique places that gave us some really nice history about the Market. Her food choices were excellent and left us filled but not stuffed so that we could explore the market a little more on our own. A highlight of our trip for sure!
From Client: The Borough Market food tour was the best food tour I've ever been on. It was more than just the Borough Market - it was the surrounding areas. We learned about the history of the area and were able to sample food from classic places and newer ones. And the way it was structured was great. Started off in the market, walked around the town, went back through the market, went through the town again and then ended up chilling out at an old, quiet, cozy pub. It was really great. Thank you for booking this!
Excellent! Josh did a wonderful job! The food choices were excellent! The only way to experience the Borough Market!
