Our guide, Becky, contacted us in advance to plan the tour. We were especially interested in Borough Market. It was a great afternoon. Becky seemed to know where all the best food and drinks were in Borough Market. She also showed us some of the surrounding sights. I would recommend this tour. Becky is a lovely host.

Very nice sample of local food favorites. Tour guide also provided a great history lesson as we traveled to the different stops.
We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed sampling the local food favorites and that your guide's historical insights made the experience even more memorable. It's great to know you had such an enjoyable time exploring the city through both its flavors and its history.
It was such a treat for my daughter and I to do the Foodie Tour with Becky! She introduced us to some wonderful places to taste the amazing world fare that London offers….plus so much more (like a quick side trip to the alley inspiring some scenes in the Harry Potter books, which was a real treat for my 12-year old!). She was flexible and quickly adjusted our tour based on our tastes and interests, all while being incredibly personable and a real pleasure to have as our guide. And, she gave us great ideas about restaurants and food to go and do on our own! I would definitely highly recommend Becky’s tour!
So happy to hear you and your daughter had such a fun and flavorful time with Becky — it sounds like the perfect mix of delicious bites, hidden gems, and magical touches along the way!
Nice trip. Local markets were explored with unique food tastings. Infact it was not tasting and we were full by the tour ended
Local markets and unique food tastings are such a great way to really dive into a destination's culture. Glad you had such a satisfying adventure with us!
Darryl was awesome. We communicated ahead of time so our time was individualized and tailored to our family. We ate and drank and saw lots of food and sights
Thank you so much for your feedback! We are thrilled to hear that Darryl provided an individualized and tailored experience for your family. It sounds like you had a fantastic time exploring the food and sights. We appreciate your kind words!
Naomi is AMAZING! she is so sweet and we had such a fun tie exploring the Borough street market. she really personalizes the experience to you and what you hope to achieve. I had such a lovely afternoon and I would absolutely do this again.
We could have done this ourselves. Save your money. Guide didn't add anything interesting to the tour. He offered to pick us up where we were staying, but didn't show up with a car! We had to pay for the tube to ONE location. I thought there would be several food locations. Disappointing.

We had a great time. I have this as a gift to my aspiring chef and Tom was outstanding at making sure my son enjoyed it.
This was the best thing I could have done with the short time I had in London. Ana M. was FANTASTIC at showing me around the market and communicating with me beforehand. She tailored every moment according to things I liked. She had a love of food and a terrific knowledge of the local community. I would suggest this to anyone who would like to try the food London has to offer.
Hell Brandon I am glad to hear you had a fantastic experience in London with Ana. We pride ourselves in the fact that our host share not just their knowledge, but passion for their cities and it is wonderful to here Ana did just this, while letting you try some of London's great food. We hope to host you for another mouth watering experience soon. Kindest Liezel
Adrian was amazing. He is a lifetime London native. We told him the things we were interested in and off we went. He would give us options of what to see next. He even explained the subway system and helped us obtain our subway cards. With that, we were able to navigate all over London for the rest of our trip. For the food, we spent too much time touring to actually eat. Adrian took us to Borough Market and showed us the places located there and we ate on our own. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has never been to London before!
I am glad to hear that your London experience with Adrian was a success. We make sure our hosts have the knowledge to offer a personalised experience according to your interests, and I had no doubts that this is exactly what Adrian would deliver. As a real Londoner, Adrian loves his city and he can definitely recommend the best places for first time visitors. We hope you’ll join us again on another one of your adventures. We’d love to match you with one of our knowledgeable hosts in your next destination.
