The best food and the best tour. Our tour guide Jack made us feel like part of the family. Picked the best food we have had London. Go hungry.
This tour was so much fun! My tour started at 10am. I had a light breakfast in anticipation of eating prepared samples from specific stalls. That was not the case. Jack, my guide, asked me what I liked, if I was interested in trying anything specific, and made suggestions. He bought me full size servings at every place we went to. He also took me outside the market to a tea shop and a cheese shop. He then took me around the general area of the market and told me it's history. I thought it would be just stalls and shops that evolved into the Market. That is not the case. It has a sorted past stemming from tax evasion and debauchery. Then we went back inside to speciality shops like spices, black and white truffles, and gourmet cheeses. There was so much more to the Market than just food stalls. At the end of the tour, he sent me off with two gourmet donuts. I highly recommend taking this tour. I was in London for four days and I can honestly say that this was the highlight of my stay. Anyone can see Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, or the London Tower. This tour will make your visit unique. Wonderful food and an important part of London's history you won't learn anywhere else. It is well worth the money.
Jack was a great guide through the Borough Market! He's very personable and knowledgeable about the history of the area, and of course the food! We had the most delicious food on his recommendation.
Betsy was very nice. Tour was not structured so we got to pick what we wanted. She also mixed in some history from the area. Only negative was that I don’t think she has a super deep knowledge of the market itself. It didn’t distract from the good time we had.
You should take this tour!! It’s as much food as it is the history and architecture of London. Jack is 5 stars.
Jack was a charming and intelligent tour guide. Super knowledgeable and genuinely kind. Great tour. Included so much food!
Claire was wonderful! Very chatty, full of info about the vendors and the history of the market. Great guide!
Great tour with mix of food and history and pop culture. Jack is lovely.tour guide. We look forward to more tours with him.
