Would not download onto...

Would not download onto my phone, but did on my guest's, so we shared a headphone each, which was fine. Interesting tour.

Informative little tour

An informative easy to follow tour for an hour. Definately worth it if you haven't been before. The only negative was that two people narrated the tour but it was a bit too jokey with an annoying lady chiming in with some stupid jokes that weren't funny, not necessary. It should have just been factual, but apart from that we had an excellent time. Very busy bustly place with tons to see and some interesting stalls and great food, we'll go again!!

Discovery of the British gourmet world

Very very successful stay... the market was really great... we discovered many facets of English gastronomic customs... and bought delicious Christmas pudding... enough to destroy the legend of bad British cuisine...

Experience the market at your own pace

The market is large and can be overwhelming. This tour is a great way to learn about its history and the key players. We did it at our own pace and stopped to sample foods and drinks whenever we felt like it!

Non- responsive tour operator

We were unable to download the audio tour. And after sending an email to tour operator we have been ignored. Fortunately, we didn't spend much on this tour and we enjoyed Borough Market on our own.
