Our tour guide, Becky, knew great places to experience the queen's favorite chocolates, a spot for tea and scones, Portuguese pastry and more goodies. She showed us other places of interest as well. She was lovely!
This was the worst tour I’ve ever experienced. Our tour guide met us in a heavily populated area by Westminster Abbey and then proceeded to walk us to Borough Market, an hour walk. When we arrived the market was closed. This was not a dessert tour as described. The desserts provided were from a donut shop and a coffee shop, both in which I could have done myself. The tour guide offered to bring me to a pub to try cider, I declined. This was not as I expected. Do not book this experience!
The sight seeing on this tour was amazing. The variety of sweet treat bakers was plentiful and very diverse.
Naomi our guide was excellent. She had a lovely personality and had obviously gone to a lot of trouble to tailor our tour to meet our particular interests. She introduced us to many new and interesting places to visit in the future and ensured that we had a really enjoyable day.
